Wow they have it all there
I like The Avett Brothers, though I'd consider them more folk than country.
It'll take more than that to keep me out. Country all the way.
Half the people I listed that you scoffed at are on that website you pleb.
The only one is Brad Paisley. And he still sucks.
And Toby Keith, and Garth Brooks, and Willie Nelson.
Then you've got people I didn't mention like Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Patsy Kline etc.
Right but you were going on about Florida Georgia Line and other offensively bad acts.
Yeah well you don't like Timber so your opinion is worth nothing. You're a disgrace to Curvers everywhere.
Cos it's just what they do, it's just what they do.
Well this threads confirmed all my worst fears about country. And True Detective was giving it such a good name.
Townes is all you need. Lungs, which was played in True Detective, is a great song but he has plenty more. The guy was an incredible songwriter.
Don Williams actually just covered Townes' I'll Be Here In The Morning.
I like country but when I think of country music, Elvis Costello does not immediately spring to mind.
So aside from this being offensive and horrible, what is Brad Paisley doing with a Confederate flag? He's from West Virginia, the state that was explicitly created during the Civil War because residents felt more allegiance to the Union?
And so that this thread isn't just all bitching about pop country, here is the Don Williams cover I mentioned earlier.
I like most of the little i've heard of Townes, such as this one:
Any particular album you'd recommend as a starter?
Start with the self titled album. Then move on to Live At The Old Quarter
Nashville Skyline
Townes doesn't really count as Country for me. It's bluesy folk. Country is a name that is exclusively reserved for awful, awful shite. If it's any good, it's probably something else, possibly accidentally.
There are some great country albums by non country artists. Nashville Skyline, Old Ways, 12 Golden Country Greats, Almost Blue
Real country these days is alt country. The stuff that wins country music awards is pop or hip hop and without exception, horrible. But old school country has some great stuff.
No, I don't believe that. It'll be something else. Usually blues or folk. Either or really. Just pick one.
Not a huge Country fan (much prefer Blues) but here's a Country/Blues song I love:
Also Surprised at the lack of Johnny Cash tracks in this thread. And I partly agree with what Mockney said which probably means the song I posted isn't country.

Always liked this one...
Not all. I still like the fishin song and whiskey lullaby.
Pseudo-rebelliousness. You can find this in states as high up as New Hampshire these days. Not too common but they're rednecks all over the rural areas of many states, even Illionios. For some of them the Confederate flag has become a symbol of 'redneck pride'
That is easily one of the worst songs of all time. It's not country.
