Steve’s son is really good as my pod @GrundleStiltzkin knows.
Bo Burnun worth checking out? I’ve read his Wikipedia before and he seems like a talented guy. Chris Rock having him direct his special is a pretty big co-sign.
I'd actually go with Carole King in the white people division and Smokey Robinson in the black folks portion.
The music snobs would say Bob Dylan - though I think he pretty well sucks. Just don't like his tunes.

Eastern WA gonna Eastern WA. Let us music snobs make the call here.
Also Sturgill Simpson is the most original artist and songwriter in decades. Love how he views Nashville.
“If the ACM wants to actually celebrate the legacy and music of Merle Haggard,” Simpson wrote in a thousand-word Facebook post, “they should drop all the formulaic cannon-fodder bullshit they’ve been pumping down rural America’s throat for the last 30 years along with all the high school pageantry, meat parade award show bullshit, and start dedicating their programs to more actual country music.”
Simpson’s tirade hit Nashville like a tornado. Reactions varied from shock to outrage to avid support. Simpson predicted he’d be blackballed from the industry. “That’s perfectly fine with me,” he wrote later. “I’m not sure how you can blackball somebody you don’t acknowledge in the first place.”

I'd take Bruce over Bob Dylan as an appeasementcandidate so the music snobs can maintain their snobbiness.
At least he had hot chicks in his videos.
I’d dance in the dark with Ms Cox.
Sturgill nailed it with this tirade.
You won’t hear any of these tracks on the local Mabel country station.
