It was just too ephemeral for me. Everytime the story started to pick up, we cut to a long shot with ambience. It was so slow and artsy, that you could have told twice the story with the running time. Also, there was no Darius Rucker, and Kane Brown got just one short shoutout. Could have been so much better.

Could have told 2X the story.
Hate the Amazon, not the artists
I've grown up listening to many of these artists, but Amazon would have you believe that black country stars are a new phenomenon or that black musicians are making different music cause of their skin color. There's some good stories here if you can see past all the racial spin Amazon puts on everything. Even the title mocks the true phrase "For Love OF Country" which is about patriotism, a quality all these artists, but not Amazon, share.
