I don't care for Bluegrass but I listen to a ton of country music. There is a ton a good suggestions, I guess it really comes down to what do you like. There are as many types of country as there are rock and roll.

Check out Strength in Numbers. Bluegrass, but great stuff. I am a big Reckless Kelly fan. Went to hs with the drummer.
Edit- So did Foggy
"...don't miss your water..."
Picked up Hank's new album on Tuesday. Not as strong as his previous offerings overall, but I'm expecting it to grow on me. More of an old school country album. I'd still buy it if it was crap because I'm a huge Hank 3 fan and I will do whatever I can to support him.Quote:

He's on tour now. No CO dates though.

Check out Corb Lund. Canadian group. Check out some of their newer stuff too.
Trampled by Turtles... probably heard this one
Ween: You either tolerate them or hate them. They aren't a country band but they put out a country album... and you know what... It's not all that bad.
Deep Dark Woods... Another Canadian group. More like Alt-Country. Looking at their bearded plaidness and silly hats ruins it for me, so I usually dont watch the videos while I listen.
Good country music is virtually never heard on the radio.
He will be touring for 2 years. I'm confidant we will see a CO show sometime soon. I considered driving to ABQ a couple of nights ago but didn't.Quote:

Another vote for Corb Lund.
And Tim Hus is some good Alberta country.
+1 on Wayne "The Train" Hancock. Check out Whiskeytown and some of Ryan Adams solo stuff and with the Cardinals. That's RYAN and not BRYAN. Some of Mike Ness's solo stuff is countryish too.
Good stuff here. Hayes Carll kicked off Saturday at Targhee Bluegrass this summer with: we're not any bit of bluegrass, but here ya go. Crushed it!!
Fixed it for you.Quote:

Shovels and Rope are pretty good.
Bumping this thread because it deserves to be bumped... so many great suggestions here that I've enjoyed over the past two years.
I was listening to Townes Van Zandt earlier tonight, which made me think of it as it was this thread that turned me on to him. Probably the best songwriter I've ever heard- listening to his music helped me through a rough patch a few years back. Anyone who doesn't already own it should read a bit about Townes' life, then go out and buy "Live at the Old Quarter" immediately.
Chris Knight is good country.
+1 on Sturgill Simpson
If you like Robert Earle Keen check out Roger Creager
No mention of Old Crow Medicine Show
For AKUS I like the any of the live albums. The Boy Who Couldn't Hoe Corn is an all time favorite song from them.
Long time bump. Paul Cauthen. Dig it.

I haven't seen him mentioned and he doesn't get enough credit b/c of his popular stuff, but:

Margo Price

Going to the far left of the dial, one of my favorite bands to dabble in country tinged soniference has been Dieselhed.
While defunct at this point, they released a number of albums that stretch the boundaries of what one would call "country music".
Slightly avant garde, they really slipped into what could be called a "traditional" country vibe for their 1999 album Elephant Rest Home, which I consider to be a modern classic.
Some favorites

Wow, if you took the steel pedal guitar out of that, it would actually be a good song. Also maybe speed up the tempo.
Country music is all and all pretty fucking terrible in every way.
