I haven't seen mention of this - I stumbled upon this band the other day and thought they were pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G_4q_Y60Yg This too - Cactus Lee

This new Brandi Carlisle track rocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odZCQhibzGM This second one is definitely not quite the right style for this thread, but I particularly love her cover of Soundgarden's Searching With My Good Eye Closed (she also did Black Hole Sun): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nKD3XdHLTs Sugartooth from her previous album also kicks rear end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_pgteOYP2k Nition fucked around with this message at 10:06 on Oct 7, 2021 |

I saw The Watkins Family Hour the other day and they were really good. It was just Sara and Sean, but I don't think anything was lacking. I always forget how good a guitarist Sean is and wonder why he's not as prolific as Sara and Chris Thile have been since Nickel Creek split up. His voice sounds the same as it did 20 years ago, too. And of course Sara is just as charming a band leader and phenomenal a fiddle player as ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgGfVFhRyrw

I was raised on country but other than like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, I only have a soft spot for like a short stretch from like 80 to 90ish. I wanna hear some shitkicker neotraditionalist Randy Travis type stuff. Where can I look to for that?

Is you love that period then check out George Straight, Tracey Lawrence, Clink Black, Alan Jackson, Brooks and Dunn, John Michael Montgomery, Sammy Kershaw, Mark Chestnut as far as men. For women try Patty Loveless, Pam Tillis, and Tricia Yearwood.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I mean like, is anybody doing stuff like that today? Like if I wanted to hear someone who plays stuff like "Diggin' Up Bones" in 2021, is there anyone current doing that?

Sturgill Simpson and Chris Stapleton give nods to that sound here and there. American Aquarium's latest album is 90s covers. Josh Turner's Country State of Mind is covers of mostly 80s and 90s songs.

Tyler Childers and (a bit less so) Jason Isbell also do material that falls into that vein. eta: If you haven't listened to Sturgill's Metamodern Sounds album you should probably make that a priority.

A lot of red dirt artists do fairly straight forward country/rock sounds that might be what you're looking for. You've got like 15 or 20 years of music too some was actually made pretty close to your preferred era.

Anyone who has any ability to see Dylan on this tour should do it. He’s so into playing this material and his new band does it super well. He’s doing something really special. I don’t know how many more chances there will be after this tour.

There are two threads with "folk" in the title but I thought I'd try here first since the most recent post mentions Dylan... I've been slowly iterating through folk and folk-adjacent music over the last few years (after getting started via Stan Rogers) and I'm hoping I might get some more recommendations for similar stuff. Here's what I listen to a lot:

There are several albums of the Transatlantic Sessions that I really enjoy and have been a great exposure to new artists. You might like Ewan McLennan, he's a little more 'angry guy with a guitar at the folk club' though. Kaiser Schnitzel fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Dec 3, 2021 |

I bring to you a great Billy Strings show. Also, HELP I’m going nuts, does anybody know what Billy is teasing here beginning at 1:48:07 and going to 1:48:35? https://youtu.be/s7GuAO-9bR4 I’ve heard it a million times before and my brain won’t unlock it. I know it’s both a song and artist I listen to a lot. edit: GOT IT! It’s Valley of the Rogue from Bela Fleck’s Bluegrass Sessions. Which everyone in here should listen to. Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Gabe Witcher, Brian Sutton, Mark Schatz. https://youtu.be/E3_rBQWMNao HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Dec 6, 2021 |

Not that we need yet another reason to love St. Isbell, but: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/elaminabdelmahmoud/jason-isbell-ryman-country-music-mickey-guyton He did an 8-night residency at The Ryman and on pretty much every night he hand-picked a bunch of black artists to open for him. It’s always nice to see when someone is more than just talk. There’s some cool artists mentioned in that article I’d not heard of. Also, Adia Victoria has a podcast, Call And Response, where she interviews a bunch of great people, Isbell included. Am really enjoying it.

Ohvee posted:I understand that people will have differing opinions, but, this isn't the first article by this guy about Isbell that lost my interest a few paragraphs in. He has a significant axe to grind against both Isbell and Sturgill Simpson. His articles about them usually come across like extremely nitpicky forum posts by posters who are "definitely not mad". Bringing up the same stories to try and make them look bad while ignoring the greater context of whatever it is they said that definitely didn't make him mad. I also had to install a browser add on specifically to block his comment section. Just the worst.

I was wondering if this would get posted here, he definitely has a weird fixation on Isbell but also seems bizarrely defensive of Morgan Wallen too, this was only a few days ago https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/grand-ole-opry-unfairly-attacked-after-morgan-wallen-appearance/ I mean look at that opening line! "When Morgan Wallen was caught using the N-word in a playful moment with a friend on a Ring doorbell camera on January 31st, 2021,"

Without having read the article yet, I think the way Isbell can get people riled up is pretty funny. A couple years back he tweeted something to the effect of “if you’re arguing about what is and what isn’t an assault rifle, you’re not helping.” Someone replied “but what if I have a tiny penis?” and Jason said “learn to play guitar.”

I totally respect that he doesn't care who he pisses off or what it costs him. He's not a total rear end in a top hat about it either. He and that "200 or 200 feral hogs" guy just laugh about it now. screaden posted:I was wondering if this would get posted here, he definitely has a weird fixation on Isbell but also seems bizarrely defensive of Morgan Wallen too, this was only a few days ago https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/grand-ole-opry-unfairly-attacked-after-morgan-wallen-appearance/ lol drink every time he make a broad statement, and then goes "....But" "But it’s another to regularly engage in severe judgement of others while overlooking one’s own iniquities and refusing to offer forgiveness in a way that can only be characterized as illiberal hypocrisy veering towards outright bigotry." *proceeds to do just that and ramble on for 189 paragraphs* EDIT: And can we all admit that Isbell isn't country. He certainly isn't in a "pop country" sense and not in a classic one either. . I think by this point, Americana is it's own thing. Bonzo fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jan 19, 2022 |

Not a big Sturgill fan. Tried many times, studio and live tapes. He sounds like the Wagon Wheel guy or that other dude who "gets me higher than the grocery bill" or whatever. Ryan Adams Instagram has been a fun follow lately, the other night he was half drunk and played all the old Whiskeytown songs on live video.

But his early stuff is Solid Country Gold. And once I made my peace with Sailors Guide being a rock record, I started to dig it s lot more. i hope he follows through on quitting the road and spending time with his family. i honestly think it's ok for an artist to just bust out a few phenomenal albums, get themselves set for life financially and then drop out. this thing where ppl have to spend their lives slaving to stay on top is hosed up and has ruined the lives of a lot of people.
