The main ones that come to mind are American aquarium and Isbell. Mainly Isbell. That shite isn’t not southern rock or country. No fiddles no banjo. It’s closer to John Mayer than Turnpike

Not the politics just the style of music. It’s not country.
I think it depends on the album.

Lol wut? He only started singing about politics in 2017. The vast majority of his catalogue is extremely relatable. I guess you think the songs he sung in his time with DBT are “hipster” too?

I actually can’t get over how bad of a take this is. Texas Country is not the only country. His country is more southeast, since he’s from Alabama.
The majority of his songs are either country or southern rock. I’m starting to wonder how familiar you really are with him.
Most of his songs are mixes of genres, but there are quite a few that are flat out country.

Now I know you have no clue what you’re talking about. Isbell’s wife, Amanda Shires, plays fiddle on most of Isbell’s tracks since 2011.
Check Wikipedia or Discogs. She’s credited with fiddle on every album since Here We Rest.

I listened to all of his top 5 most played songs on Spotify. Didn’t hear a damn fiddle or banjo. Only coffee shop sounding shite.

That’s because all of those are off his last two albums. Listen to any of his first 4 albums or his DBT songs.
Codeine

Over where I've been recording some, they told me that Riley Green has been coming in there some. I said, " oh yeah?". Now I know who he is. This is the first I have heard of him, other than from them. He's not a bad singer, needs better songs.
Posted on 9/15/20 at 8:55 pm to diddlydawg7
I see what you mean now. Much better I’ll give the older stuff a chance.

american aquarium has some definite southern rock songs
the luckier you get
as does isbell: try
perhaps you just haven't heard them. at their core, they are rock bands.

you mean his fiddle player wife that plays with him? that fiddle player?
bro, it sounds like you just don't know what you're talking about because there is a ton of evidence that would suggest both of those bands have "southern rock" qualities to them. maybe dig just a little deeper and you'll find them

I mean I do like those guys of course. I’ve seen turnpike 6 times before they fricking broke up.
Turnpike didn't break up. They are on a hiatus. Insert Ross "we were on a break" gif.
Anyway, they are proof that you can still make something that has some depth and appeal to both common folks and hipsters.

Yeah.
Did you see where he also had to change the words for "I wish country still got played on country radio?"

Riley Green has just about had it with the politics of country music lately.
quote:
His incredible new single, “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” recently received a radio edit changing the mic drop line “I wish country music still got played on country radio,” to “I wish George Jones still got played on country radio.”
quote:
Not afraid to speak his mind, Riley voiced his frustrations last night with a new song he’s been working on called “Leave My Country Alone.”
quote:
"They wanna change all the words to my songs, wish they’d leave my country alone.”
