Newer Country Music that is actually good Country Music


Recommended Posts

If there's already a thread about decent contemporary country music then I apologize, just wanted to start one to share artists that bring back what it should be and what it used to be.

 

Colter Wall does not suck.

Most anything Tyler Childers is great. Also a big fan of All Your’n for a romantic touch. May as well go in the thread for Sturgill etc but this guys got some jams   

 

kindof a Hank Williams Jr feel but I’ve been enjoying this dude — probably not what this thread is for after actually reading the OP

Tyler Childers has some great stuff but yeah, that second one you posted is the embodiment of what I was hoping to avoid in this thread. Not saying it's terrible, it's definitely catchy, but I'm not a fan of the glam pop country stuff

They’re no longer together, but the Turnpike Troubadours were incredible.

Evan came out with that single a couple of months ago. Hopefully that means he’s on the road to recovery.

It was recorded before the break up. I wouldn’t read much into it.

That said, a picture of him and a fan in a farm store parking lot surfaced last fall. He was in his hometown, and looked healthy

Another vote for Randall King.  I wish he'd get some traction.

Good call here Latt. The rest of these dudes. ? No fiddle or steel … not Country just more gravely folk artists. James Taylor without a shower imo.

Can somebody explain Keith Urban to me. He’s the poppiest artist in the history of country music and has never worn a proper hat in his entire life. 

women buy his music

William Beckmann is pretty damn badass.  Looks like a little kid, has a wonderful voice.  Also has some cool spanish lyric songs (I think his mother's family is from Mexico).  

 

Seth Ward & The Silence are pretty damn good.  Their guitar player is a cousin of mine.  He can absolutely play the shit out of a guitar.

One more for Randall King. Seen him live a few times and it's great to hear some good honky tonk 2 stepping music.
Also been a pretty big fan of Josh Ward. Great to see live and dance to.

As far a non traditional I highly recommend Red Shahan.

@Lat22 Hey - Check this out - Mo Pitney.. Think he's 22 or so.  Takes a bit to get there. He is his take on the Cherokee Cowboy's "Don't you ever get tired of hurting me"

 

That was awesome.  The first three beats.   I'm going to have to keep an eye out for him.  How does Whispering Bill have more hair than me?  FML.

If it don't got those first three beats.... I ain't listening.. I don't think Bill's hair is "real" -

That was nice.  I don't know much about traditional country, but I'd describe his voice as a "honey baritone", like Vince Gill has a "honey tenor".  Just a really, really nice tone.  I could listen to that guy all night in a place like Gruene Hall.  Thanks for posting it.

@jimmyjazz Traditional country starts here with the father of country music - Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family (w/ June Carter) and the 'Carter Scratch'

Well, I know *that* about traditional country.  I've listened to the greats, but it's not like my family played it consistently on the radio growing up.  (That would be classical.)
