    No it doesn't:

    "Born on the Bayou", "Cotton fields", "Green River", etc. All those songs cosplaying as southerners for what???

    Fun fact - the producer of the new Depeche Mode album said this in an interview a couple of months ago:

    “Well, the one I wish I’d never done was that fucking Mumford record [2015’s ‘Wilder Mind’]! [...] “I don’t know why I did that. It paid for my house but it’s the record I regret doing.”
