Post Malone. Darius Rucker. Jelly Roll. Beyonce. Shaboozey. Country music has increasingly welcomed artists from other genres into the country genre. But how do the old school country artists feel about the influx of non-country stars? Brooks & Dunn sat down with "American Songwriter" and were asked specifically about this. If you were thinking they'd be upset or outraged, think again. Ronnie Dunn was clear. "I don’t see the negative dynamic to it...I’m going to come at it as an artist and a creative type. At the same time, I grew up in West Texas and Oklahoma. There’s rock music out there, too, and different slants on what country should be,” he explained. “Let it eat. It’s all going to come back,” he added. Kix Brooks agreed. “That’s always been the way that this wheel turns...people who are throwing rocks at some artist that is not classic, hasn’t been here forever, artists today that may have their start on TikTok or whatever. It’s like, 'Stop throwing rocks. We have millions of fans out there. Let them decide."
