Same! I came from an urban Latino environment. Country sounded like vomit to me. Then, I met some country dude with roots in Appalachia. He introduced me to authentic country music. That shit hits hard.
If anyone is looking to give country a try, my favorite artists are as follows:
The Steeldrivers/Chris Stapleton
The Dead South
Alan Jackson (kind of bro-country sound, but great lyrics)

Alan Jackson, Chris Stapleton, and Jamey Johnson are a few of the mainstream country artists that I still like.
I would classify The Dead South as bluegrass! Also, bluegrass is a great answer to OP
