Driving your pick-up truck down a dirt road under the moonlight to pick up your girl who wears tight jeans, and then getting drunk on a river bank.
That's what Entertainment Weekly's country critic Grady Smith said mainstream country acts sing about these days. And he cut a hilarious, and illuminating, YouTube video to prove it.
"Ten gallon hats and Wrangler jeans now feel out of place in a sea of trucker caps and wallet chains," Smith wrote in the introduction to his list of 2013's Top 10 Country Albums.

"In short, the genre is something of a mess right now," he said. "It’s telling that the country format is both more popular and more criticized than it has been in decades."
