You know, Country & Western!
This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.

I read somewhere that the Carnegie Hall Concert was recorded today in 1966.
More importantly, the poster of this image, John Dear Vintage, is pretty much responsible for getting me into country music. He’s the one who played Mama Tried for me all those years ago on some K-Tel vinyl comp, took me to see Trailer Trash at Lee’s Liquor Lounge and lent me a western shirt that somehow is still in my grubby hands.
He and his lady sell vintage stuff from time to time, check them out if you’re into that sort of thing.
