I listened to at least a minute of every YouTube in this thread, none of them really were my thing but at least they weren't trying desperately to fit into some Nashville factory cookie-cutter idea of what style and substance they needed to comply, as if there was a producer with a checklist ticking off items "Truck...Dirt Road...Moonlight...Painted-On Jeans...check check check and check". At least Euro-Country (what I've heard here anyway) is it's own thing.
Can't speak for other parts of the world.
*edited to add: Batty's songs were American Folk Country
