As a late-comer to country music, A.J. Kritikos doesn’t seem to realize what he is listening to is pop music masquerading as country (“Country Isn’t As Grumpy as Oliver Anthony,” op-ed, Aug. 28). For a taste of traditional, “grumpy” country, I recommend Hank Williams crooning “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive.” Kudos to Mr. Anthony for carrying the torch.
