In a move that has surprised both fans and critics, country music star Oliver Anthony announced he would be joining forces with Kid Rock and Jason Aldean for the “You Can’t Cancel America” tour. The tour, which promises to be one part musical extravaganza and three parts comedic opera, has left fans wondering what they can expect from this improbable trio.
To provide some context for those living under a rock, Oliver Anthony recently made headlines for his widely debated song, “Rich Men North of Richmond”. The song became a flashpoint in the cultural wars, with the singer’s unexpected transition from off-the-grid farmer to a chart-topping superstar still baffling to many. His shift from singing about blue-collar struggles and governmental criticisms to now sharing the stage with Kid Rock and Jason Aldean feels a bit like a fish taking to the skies.
