A real man collection of manly men processing their feelings in manly man ways. This is what makes classic masculinity so compelling (and problematic); the chink in the armor, the glimpses of a sensitive soul beneath a gruff, tough exterior. Someone so committed to their cowboy image they’d ride a pony, even on a boat. But Lyle Lovett’s existential yearning, Johnny Lee’s romantic wanderlust, and Hank Williams Jr.’s dedication to preserving the life he loves are easy for anyone to identify with. (That’s less true of a literal fiddle contest with the devil!)
