Music Aficionados, I Need Recommendations On Good Present Day Country Music

I know there has to be some good country music being made today. I just do not have the time to find it. I hate everything on country radio...Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton...with the power of a thousand burning suns.
Is there any good country music being made today or do I have to go with the classics?

Sturgill Simpson is very good, IMO, sounds a lot like Waylon Jennings and he isn't that pop country bullshite. Listen to his new album "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music."

Sturgill Simpson, Justin Townes Earle, James McMurtry, Ryan Bingham, just off the top of my head.

I like a lot of acoustic; simply delivered lyrics that give rise to deeper overall meaning.
Some of my favorites have been AKUS, Emmylou Harris, Marty Robbins, Vince Gill, Nickel Creek, Willie Nelson. Even though they are not considered country, I enjoy OCMS and Mumford and Sons.
I think "He Stopped Loving Her Today" may be the greatest country song ever written.
I greatly appreciate all the suggestions and I will absolutely check all of them. Thanks to everyone.

Try going to last.fm and plugging in what you like. It gives you suggestions based on the artists you like.

John Fullbright.
He is an amazing lyricist and is immensely talented musically.

Robbie Fulks writes, among other things, country songs that sound fifty years old, and is a shite-hot guitar player.
