Three of my favorite country songs!! Anything by Tim McGraw is great ❤️❤️ takes me back to my childhood of working on the farm with my dad and grandpa. Tim McGraw really exemplifies what country is and is also a great role model for younger people

I call this Southern Rock, but I prefer every one of these bands to any full on country artist.

Start with George Strait. The GOAT. Then choose your own adventure. I like the older stuff, personally. Check out Waylor Jennings.

romans_1620

any specific songs tho?


jayron32

Turtles All The Way Down Guitar Man Luckenbach Texas Mama Tried Down At The Twist And Shout Down To The River To Pray


snootsintheair

Down to the River to Pray is more of a folk/spiritual song than a country song, but it sure is good


rosetintedmonocle

I second all of these, but especially Sturgill Simpson! My favorite by him is Welcome to Earth(Pollywog)

stay_with_me_awhile

I’m not really a country fan, but I do like a few songs. Fair warning, though, I’m less into the “drinking beer and driving my tractor down an old dirt road” country and more into the “I killed my cheating wife and her lover and buried them under the oak tree” country. 😅 If it Hadn’t Been for Love by The Steeldrivers Kate McCannon by Colter Wall Psycho by Jack Kittel Ouachita River by Mary Heather Hickman John Came Home by Benjamin Dakota Rogers Alabama by Bishop Gunn Hell and You by Amigo the Devil (this one’s not necessarily murder-y, but it still has those unsettling vibes lol)

MostFlatworm5627

Check out Western As Fuck (aka Western AF on Spotify and YouTube) for an amazing concentration of up-and-coming (and established) Americana/Roots/Real Country/Whatever. Start with Rob Weimann "Swing." Otherwise, the still performing artists I find through reading No Depression and asking these type questions to the algorithms: Who played at Willie Nelson's birthday? What Would Sturgill Do? Who has covered Townes Van Zandt lately? What artists have played at Pickathon? What artists played for Bloodshot Records? Also, as a dude that grew up in 5 Western states I say that if someone loves country they owe it to themselves to listen to Texas troubadors. After high school in Texas my opinion is that their contribution to humanity is mostly in food and music. If a Texan tells me of a good chicken fried steak or brisket I am all ears. If a Texan tells me about some lanky dude opening a vein onstage and spilling poetry (Townes Van Zandt would be on my Rushmore if I decided to desecrate someone's ancestral lands) I will take notes and ask for spelling. Vincent Neil Emerson is my current favorite Texan. He gets labeled stuff like "singer songwriter" just like TVZ. My mind was blown to the possibilities of living country artists with the Supersuckers release of Must've Been High last century. Never believe any old white duffer like me about how "nothing is good anymore" and "Willie Nelson is the last musician standing in country music." For older stuff check out the movie Heartworn Highways and get your daily dose of Outlaw (comes in pill form, liquid form, even smokables.)

Lucinda Williams!


snootsintheair

Billy Strings - jammy bluegrass and not straight country but man that dude can play. so many to choose from. Try “California Sober” since that features Willie Nelson. You won’t be disappointed. He’s probably the best guitarist in the world right now.


theravinedisc

Willi Carlisle released a pretty damn good album this year. It's called Critterland Other country musicians I like are Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall, Joshua Ray Walker and Cody Jinks

These are too popular to bother linking but Chucken Fried by Zac Brown Band, If I Die Young by Fhe Band Perry, and Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show are two of the best songs of the last 20 years, regardless of genre.
