I thought Colter wall was an asshole, but I'm only basing that off the fact that he sang Dixieland as a preface to one of his songs. I just kinda assumed that he was a white supremacist and stopped listening to him after that.

    I'm not claiming to be an expert on the personal affairs or beliefs of any of these artists and I've removed other artists I didn't mention from my library after learning some unsavory things. I do know Sleeping On The Blacktop, his most popular song, makes several literary juxtapositions about class and ideology in the south, one in particular about a rich white confederate type woman spitting on the working class people in a region of the appalachians that traditionally opposed the confederacy and slavery.

    Would be a very odd to also play songs supporting confederate ideals at the same time, but some people do some real mental gymnastics with their views
