I'm really excited for whatever Neko puts out next, but her 2006 album Fox Confessor Brings the Flood is my personal favorite. One of the best albums of the last decade, period.

Great thread! Kurt Vile is one of my favorites doing this kind of stuff nowadays "Smoke Ring For My Halo" "The Creature" And a lot of you may have heard The Flying Burrito Bros. before but I just discovered them and didn't see them mentioned in the thread yet "Hot Burrito #2" "Juanita"

Keller Williams's solo act is jammy and at times spacey, but whenever he teams up with other musicians and goes into band mode, usually things take on a grassier, more americana-esque feel. I'm partial to the trio act Keller & The Keels. Larry Keel is amazing on an acoustic. They do a magical cover of Drive By Trucker's Uncle Disney. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWi7ZoATBJ0 This next act I've been enamored with lately is Elephant Revival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3lUfUWt69c Real soft, tender bluegrass. And I love that washboard and fiddle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgGxdgaKkXA

I'm so glad this thread exists. I still listen to The Deep Dark Woods and JTE a lot when I'm in my car and I'm loving the music posted here. I also quite enjoyed the album Tones by Small Sur. I bought it on Amazon on a whim because it was 5 dollars. It's pretty downtempo and I don't even know if it could be classified as country, perhaps melodic folk (same vein as City and Colour)? Only perhaps with an emphasis on nature and tranquility over heartbreak. Edit: drat, I love this. Thanks!

If you haven't already picked it up, Living For A Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran is pretty good. It scratches the run-down jukebox in a dive bar itch like no album I've listened to in a long time. Plus it has an amazing lineup: Alison Krauss, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, George Strait, Willie Nelson, and some others. If you want a solid CD of songs about lost love and hard drinkin' you could do a lot worse. Here's the Alison Krauss song on Letterman I love you Alison Krauss. Even though your last CD was kind of crummy.

No love for Ryan Adams? He's about the only artist I'm into in this genre, but I'm open to new stuff, going to be looking into a lot of these artists. I've always heard about DBT but haven't had a chance to really listen to their stuff yet, glad this thread came along.

I'm going to the Tallest Man on Earth gig tomorrow. I dig his records, and he seems the kind of guy who would be great live, so I have high expectations. Doubt he'll match William Elliott Whitmore, though - I saw him a few months ago in London - Old Devils in particular blew the loving roof off the venue. He was the warm-up act to The Low Anthem along with Simon Felice, but nobody could come close: Low Anthem were beautiful, but not really trancedent, and I couldn't get into Simon's set at all, even though I like Felice Brothers (here's their Penn Station). Next month it's Lucinda Williams. What do you guys think of her latest record? I have played it a few times, but it's probably my least favourite of hers - quiet introspection seems to be the default setting here, and I don't think she does it as well as, well, anything else.

Some stuff I'm surprised I haven't seen mentioned yet. Before Uncle Tupelo there were the Jayhawks. Hollywood Town Hall's a good one to start with but Rainy Day Music's really, really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEVvOATOCGo Blue Rodeo is another group that's been around forever but never really broke as strong as they deserved to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuUnApNzIz0 (Bluegrass band Salamander Crossing did a nice cover of that one, it's worth a listen.) Leaning folkier and less country, Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer were a great, great act until Dave had a fuckin' fatal heart attack while on tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imf2GYV0xNo Richard Shindell's amazing, he wrote this song for Joan Baez to cover but I really think he does a better job, especially with those wonderful sour strings. He's got a live album called Courier, the version he does on that will rip your heart out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l12rlGGjxBM He was also in a folk supergroup called Cry Cry Cry along with Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky, they do a cover of James Keelaghan's "Cold Missouri Waters," about the Mann Gulch fire, and I honestly believe it's the saddest song ever, I can't even perform because every time I get to the part about "And when I arose like the Phoenix/in that world reduced to ashes there were none but two survived/I stayed that night and day after/carried bodies to the river, wondering how I stayed alive," I just loving lose it. Every goddamned time. He also does a wonderful cover of what might be the purest country & western song ever, "Sonora's Death Row." I say the purest because after shooting one of his friends down in a mezcal-fueled hallucination and being sentenced to hang, he's sitting there in prison not thinking "Wow, maybe I shouldn't have drank that much mezcal," his thought is "I really wish I were back in that bar drinking mezcal with those guys." But I can't find that one on Youtube so here's Robert Earl Keen's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ8b8O7Lyh0 And finally, Margo Timmins is a goddamned national treasure and I say that while not even being Canadian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUhaq4Yg74w Tallest Man on Earth is wonderful, I'd love to see him live. vvvvvvvvv

It's a solid album but it's not at the level of everything else they've done from That Much Further West on. I thought 1372 was their best album too, so it's a little disappointing to see them take a step back like that, even if it wasn't a huge one.

He IS pretty popular, but he certainly wasn't billed above Parliament/Funkadelic, and I think he's much more suited to the Golden Plains crowd compared to Jon Spencer. Anyways, to the other guy going to see him, I saw tallest man on earth in Melbourne earlier in the year, and it was mostly good, but he has an odd stage persona, and will range from no eye contact and standing still, to basically staring down any person who cheers too loudly, I swear sometimes while he was up there he just looked really pissed off to be playing his songs to people. This was probably exacerbated more by him telling us these really long explanations to songs where he basically says he regrets writing it because it's so hateful to someone he loves, only to start playing and have a whole bunch of people start cheering. Also, be prepared for a duo with his wife where they basically make out with each other while he plays the guitar. Everyone loved it for some reason but it was just really awkward. This makes it sound pretty bad, but his performances were perfect and most of the time he was normal, I guess it just depends on the crowd

The best think about Assjack (Hank III's punk band) is that every single person in it looks like a different variety of serial killer. Tell me that Joe Buck does not look like the kind of guy who beats random strangers to death with a claw hammer. When I saw them they each looked like you could easily guess their preferred weapon. I'd never seen Hank III before, and it was goddamned spooky when he stepped out on stage. Because, well, look: Hank: Hank III: That's more than just a family resemblance, it's goddamned spooky.

Just saw this guy live last Thursday at the Tin Angel in Philly. Nice place to see a show, really tiny and intimate. Horrible, awful, lovely loving crowd. You had the people who could not sit still and had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom (which in this place requires walking all the way up front and then in front of and around the stage), or out for a cigarette, or to get another beer. Yeesh. In a big concert that's no loving problem but this place is a closet. Then you had all the loving talkers. Seriously, people were shutting up in between the songs and then talking in louder-than-normal voices so they could hear each other over the loving music. I was pissed as poo poo. Then as we were leaving an announcement went on the PA: seems the opening artist had some merchandise taken from her merchandise table with nobody paying for it. What a bunch of loving asshats. Anyway, John Fullbright, he's apparently up for a Grammy and is a pretty decent fingerpicker. He also does a really good Willie Nelson impression.

I've been on a George Jones and Hank Williams Sr. binge for the longest time. It is my favorite music to just turn on really loud and just sit there and soak in the original country-western legends. To think that Hank Jr. came from the same nut sack of Hank Sr. is just absurd. I guess the talent skips a generation when Hank III came around. The gospel music George Jones put out is just some of the best stuff he does. But his song about moonshine "White Lighting" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZbSkCKlrHU and a particular ex-girlfriend with "She Still Thinks I Care" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owWNCNyEuYI really hit home with me.

We've seriously gone through two pages and no one's mentioned the Band? The first three albums are some of the best music ever recorded. Also three of the most passionate singers I've ever heard. Four Canadians and one Arkansan playing soul-inflected Appalachian music. Can't go wrong (until Robbie Robertson became a douche and hosed over his bandmates). Seconding Ryan Adams. Also, Steve Earle is brilliant and puts on a hell of a live show.

I'm a huge fan of The Band and a lot of the other groups previously named. So I'm glad I found this thread and a few new groups to listen to. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned some of the older folk troubadours. Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger were hugely influential on later singers and songwriters. Simple melodies, but some of their original lyrics were subversive as hell. Incidentally, Rounder Records released a Woody Guthrie tribute album, New Multitudes, earlier this year that involves some more modern folk groups. Jay Farrar, Will Johnson, Anders Parker, and Yim Yames collaborate to put old unused lyrics to new music (a lot like the Mermaid Avenue records from Wilco and Billy Bragg). Not every track is a winner, but it's worth checking out. Especially if you like bearded guitarists. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uYZMawd5ho

Jay Munly sings with Slim Cessna, and he also does a lot of independent projects: Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots - The Leavening of the Spit-Bread Girls Munly & the Lupercalians - Ahmen 16 Horsepower are fantastic, a bit more folk-rock than country.

I won't sit here and try to defend a lot of Hank Jr's music (although there are some highlights, IMHO), but keep in mind where that his dad died when he was four and his mom basically paraded him around as a son of royalty for most of his youth. I recall hearing that people would run up with tears in their eyes just to touch him like he was Jesus Christ or something. "Wikipedia posted:Williams' early career was guided, and to an extent some observers say outright dominated, by his mother, who is widely claimed as having been the driving force that led his late father to musical superstar status during the late 1940s and early 1950s.[citation needed] Audrey, in many ways, promoted young Hank Jr. as a Hank Williams impersonator, even to the extent of having stage clothes designed for him that were identical to his father's, and encouraging vocal styles very similar to those of his father. Also, he fell 500ft off a cliff. "Wikipedia posted:On August 8, 1975, Williams was nearly killed in a mountain-climbing accident. While he was climbing Ajax Peak in Montana, the snow beneath him collapsed and he fell almost 500 feet onto rock. He suffered multiple skull and facial fractures.[4]To hide the scars and the disfigurement from the accident, Williams grew a beard and began wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat. The beard, hat, and sunglasses have since become his signature look, and he is rarely seen without them. This is what he looked like before the accident: One of the weirdest musical experiences I ever had was seeing Hank Jr. and Kid Rock do a duet at Johnny Cash's memorial concert and knock it out of the park. Keep in mind I wouldn't have tapped my brakes if Kid Rock walked in front of my car before that night. As for content. I think my favorite Alt.

Despite loving blues and some old outlaw country stuff I never really got the whole "alt country/country rock" thing. I recently started a new job somewhere and my boss got me into Drive By Truckers by giving me a few albums (Southern Rock Opera and Dirty South). This is now my new favorite band. I love how they are basically a mix of classic outlaw country with a southern rock flair and the downtuned guitars add a real grittiness to the twang. I could listen to Mike Cooley play that rickety rear end guitar all day. I haven't been this into a band in forever.
