## Key points

- Three 2010s country songs are presented as enduringly cool.
- Musgraves’ song challenged genre conventions.
- Church and Childers brought distinct energy and roots to country.

## Summary

The article highlights three country songs from the 2010s that it says still sound fresh: Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow”, Eric Church’s “Springsteen” and Tyler Childers’ “Feathered Indians”. It argues that each has lasting appeal because the artists brought distinctive energy or ideas to country music.

Musgraves’ 2013 song challenged genre conventions with its message of personal freedom and helped build her fame and fanbase, despite an initially difficult reception. Church’s love song draws on Bruce Springsteen references and is praised for its grit and energising feel, while Childers’ breakout track brought an Appalachian influence and a return to country roots.
