Country music. I thought it was all Morgan Wallen, Tim McGraw, pop garbage. I’ve recently got into classic style honky tonk shit. I’m seeing Charley Crockett next week. I also like a band called The Reeves Brothers.
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)
- The Avett Brothers
I would classify The Dead South as bluegrass! Also, bluegrass is a great answer to OP
Alan Jackson, Chris Stapleton, and Jamey Johnson are a few of the mainstream country artists that I still like.
Old country music has been replaced by the genre folk, with a lot of crossover with modern day blues and americana.
Not a country fan, but we've been listening to a lot of old stuff, Bakersfield Beat on Sirius, Texas country, and alt. I like Hayes Carll. My son digs Charley Crockett. I haven't listened to it yet. How do you feel about Orville Peck? I initially thought it was goofy but now can't get Daytona sand out if my head.
Sturgill Simpson is S tier
Check out red dirt country music, it’s the descendant of outlaw country.
