Been on a big Sturgill Simpson kick lately.

+1 on Jason Eady. Saw him open for Dwight Yoakam last night and he was great!

Chris Knight- House and 90 Acres

Leon Payne- I Love You Because

George Jones- Things Have Gone to Pieces

Bruce Robison- Desperately

Question for you older people. I see that the request was for "real country music", and pretty much all of the songs posted are from the classic country playlist. So that makes me wonder what the definition to everyone of "real country music" is. Could all of this classic country be the days of past "nashville" scene? Were there groups in the past that were similar to what a REK, Ryan Bingham, William Clark Green type bands today. Where they don't get played on the major stations but they have big followings as "texas country"?

"Let's Fall to Pieces Together"- George Strait

"Neon Moon" - Brooks & Dunn

"Take Me Out to a Dancehall" - Pat Green (before he sold out)

Randy Rogers older stuff from their self-titled album back in '08

"Redneck Mother" by Jerry Jeff Walker is one of my all-time favorites too


Sorry, no links.

I'll keep this on my watch list. I've always wondered what separates current country from typical rock, since it sounds similar.

Some of this is pretty great. Good idea.

FGL has to be a troll post

FGL new album is the worst album in the history of country music
So today i learned the FGL has a former Nickleback band member as a producer and another Nickleback alum as the band's manager. That explains why they are just so terrible. Bro-country/CRAP needs to die off.

Everyone's welcome to their own opinion, so I won't judge people who listen to them.

That said, my only exposure to FGL is that song at the beginning of CBS football, and that does not make me want to listen to any more.

Y'all are doing a great job with these. Here's my contribution

Slaid Cleaves - Last of the V-8s
A lot of Slaid's music probably falls under folk instead of country, but I admire him a lot for his songwriting.

Corb Lund - Devil's Best Dress
I've been a big fan of Corb after seeing him open for Hayes a few years ago. A lot of Mary Robbins coming through in this song

So I know we're going for traditionally country sound on this thread, but I figured maybe some folks who like good country might also enjoy this guy whose music isn't necessarily country per se, but I think has the same spirit as some of the best country music from the 70s:

Shakey Graves-Dearly Departed

I really hate to sound like Redstone here but that is one of his newer albums, although it and Rollercoaster are, IMO, his best 2. The latest, Trouble, is growing on me too.
