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.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This Week’s Country/Americana New Releases - 8/14
These are the ones I found noteworthy:
Audrey Auld - Wood (5-song EP of Woody Guthrie covers)
Corb Lund - Cabin Fever (written up in the New York Times even) - Enter his Cabin Fever Contest. Listen on Spotify.
Denver - Denver (members of Blitzen Trappen & Wild Divine) Listen on Spotify.
Radney Foster - Del Rio, Texas Revisited: Unplugged and Lonesome
I know of Radney Foster, but maybe I should dig around more.
Also, the 90s. And when I say the 90s, I mean that I think Mountain Stage is talking about this song as an alt-country crossover hit because otherwise they’re talking about the best era as folks like Garth, Travis, Billy Ray, Brooks/Dunn and Wynonna.
I mean, come on, people. One of the best songs from one of the best eras in modern country music.
