Maggie’s Educate me

[lariat]

Vince Gill, Alison Kraus, Ricky Skaggs - Go Rest High on the Mountain

Allison kraus and Union Station. That’s good stuff right there.



The whole album “New Favorite” is really good. Amazing harmony and interplay.

[The D]

Hank Williams and his son.

I will second or maybe third, I haven’t read this whole thread, Hank 3. I saw him live a few times years ago and he’s awesome. He has three distinct sounds. His grandfather’s country, a very punk band that he plays guitar in, and an interesting mix of the two. I love the old timey country and his country punk mash-up, but I’ve never gotten into any sort of punk.

Dan Tyminski - The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn

That’s gold. On of my favorite songs of all time. Music with a lesson in the lyrics.

James McMurtry

Seems, this is getting "serious"...

I'll end my comments with these...

I heard this song in my head cruising America for many years....

Allman's my favorite.


Hank Jr, next:


And if we are very serious, there is the only one (to me):

SRV:

Was listening to that the other night…may have been a bit into my cups when I called my son who is a bit of a country boy, and extolled him on how the Southern Fried Rock of my youth would be considered country now.

my favorite:

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Some real American country music.

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Clarence Gate mouth Brown playing with Roy Clark.

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins

 

[Alaskanhider]

Wish he would have stuck to more music like this but...

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Ernie Ford- 16 tons

 

[91Eunozs]

Can’t stand them and their politics, but damn if their cover of Landslide doesn’t get me every time.

 

[RGStory]

This is exactly the kinda shit I want! Maybe I shouldn’t have said country, show me the weirdest redneck shit you have. Some great redheads in there too.

Oh..... Ugh. That kind.... Well...

When out drinking, I know that when I hear this song, its time to go home.



When I hear this song, I know I made it home.

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Not Country but this man is basically the father of the Mississippi Delta Blues.

[sandhiller]

Jerry Jeff Walker for late night whisky sipping music.

Chris LeDoux if you like rodeo.

 

[Quarter Horse]

Chris LeDoux, a little bit of everything.

 

[Northfl]

I saw ZZ Top a few years back, fucking fantastic band

There is a pretty good documentary on netflix about them. Just watched it the other night. Who knew that a damn buzzard could live that long. ( watch the show and see what i am talking about)

 

[muzzleloader]

Might be a narrow slice of country, but try Marty Robbins. Love the gunslinger albums, especially El Paso.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Who'll Stop the Rain

Since you already have my greatest respect… no prize for you ;-)

For those who have not seen “Who’ll Stop the Rain…” Superb movie with great soundtrack.

[Son of Dorn]

In no particular order, give these a try:

If you want redneck country I can’t think of anything more redneck white trash than Loretta Lynn. God, here lyrics were horrible and the message they conveyed was pure dysfunction. Every time I hear one of her songs I want to slit my wrists with an old beer tab. Gretchen Wilson is just as bad.


I think the genre of music your looking for may be what’s called Texas Red Dirt music. Hers a sample

Lots of damn good selections mentioned already. Waylon Jennings, Marty Robbins, Johnny Horton, Patsy Cline are all at the top of my playlists. Just put together a Spotify or Pandora or one of them streaming music service channels with them in it and it will populate with all kinds of excellent classic country and bluegrass artists.
