I've given up on "country" music
Posted on 2/12/14 at 2:47 pm
Posted on 2/12/14 at 2:47 pm
With the strong movement of pop country over the past few years, I have decided to call it quits on the new age of country music. All of the artists I start listening to let big lable money change their style (Randy Houser, Eric Church). I'm a pretty young guy (22) that just wants to be able to sit on my porch and enjoy some real country music.
I now listen to a lot of Jamey Johnson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelso. Can anyone give me any recommendations on some old school musicians that would be a good listen?

i'm pretty sure EC's new album is the opposite of big label money's style

I haven't gotten to listen to all of the songs on his new album so I shouldn't have thrown his name into the mix, but what I have heard is pretty new school, pop-ish

Are you dead set on strictly old country guys? There is plenty of awesome new stuff that channels that old school sound. I hate pop country but I find that there are lots of country artists I like a lot.
Jason Eady, Turnpike Troubadours, John Moreland, Hayes Carll...list goes on and on.
John Fullbright is my personal favorite, although he's more bluesy and americana than country...amazing, though, so if you're feeling open-minded, check him out.

I appreciate the requests 
I'm looking more for newer singers that are still making music, but anything will do.

Best show I've ever been to. I had a religious experience. He played to a sold-out crowd at the Continental Club and you could have heard a pin drop. I don't think I've ever see a more talented dude in my life.

You're welcome.
Great country music is out there you just have to be willing to put forth the effort to find it.
It's your responsibility as a listener to find what you like and support it

I propose the people who claim to be fans of "real country" stop bitching about radio country.
It's played out!
Country radio has sucked for decades as a whole.
American aquarium
Turnpike troubadours
John Moreland
Jason Isbell
Lucero
Cory Branan
Scott Biram
Tim Barry
Austin Lucas
Sturgill Simpson
That will get you started

ehh, if any of those guys could actually sing or write better songs they'd be more successful and on the pop country scene...because you know that's what they really want.

Turnpike's not exactly hurting. And I don't look for them to sell out. Nashville is so not them.
