As a song writer this is a little troubling- but, at the same time, there are some really great old songs.
Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market. Even worse: The new-music market is actually shrinking.
There are some interestin statistics.... and thoughts.
My thoughts: I'm a boomer, if a label has to be used. I think for me self. I refuse to have anything forced on me. Especially what I'm supposed to like, and especially curated by an over educated? beyond its intellect empty suit, no matter what the arena is.
Add to that, the new talent used to try to force likes is often as not crap.
The singers of old music were real talent, not sound boothed, recording studioed, to death.
That is one of the reasons Waylon and Willie told Nashville to go pound sand.
I watch a lot of you tube videos that * cover* old music (I've done some me self)... some of it by pros and a lot of it not.
The empty suit crowd obviously doesn't see very well and listens even worse.
Good music, in this day and time, doesn't have to be pushed by empty suits. Ask Cody Jinks or Jamey Johnson. People turn out in droves to hear and see them... and radio play isn't involved. They are real and sincere in what they do. Period. Their authenticity markets them. Not an empty suit machine using "artificial" intelligence? based on god knows what.
