The Official Country Music Thread Genre • Page 28

Oh yeah. His is the only AOTY nom this year that I really care for, so he's definitely the one I'm rooting for.

 

Really liking this song!

 

If anyone is looking for a good country-specific EOTY list, the list from Rolling Stone Country does a pretty good job of picking out the best albums in the genre this year.

40 Best Country Albums of 2016

 

Is Lucinda William's new record not on Apple Music? The internet tells me it is, but I'm not finding it.

 

I remember looking for it on spotify a few times earlier this yr to no avail

 

Never thought I'd type these words and I'm still not ready to say them out loud but...what I've heard from Miranda Lambert's new record sounds really good

 

It's a very good album.

Never listened to them before, but I really dig this.

 

they're one of my favorite bands. go back and listen to Too Far To Care

 

Just added it to Apple Music. I'm still catching up on EOTY stuff but I'll make time for it this week!

 

Pumped. Just pre-ordered...

 

Also, Brandi Carlile = God

 

@ChaseTx just finished giving Too Far To Care a listen. Really dig the band so I'll definitely be paying attention to this new release. Thanks for the rec!

 

No problem, glad you like! all their albums are good to great and the last one was one of the best so I'm really looking forward to it. they're also really good live

 

Surely we've done this before but I can always stand to do it again [and I can probably do it different every time]:

1a. Satellite Rides
1b. Too Far To Care
3. Wreck Your Life
4. Blame It On Gravity
5. Fight Songs
6. Most Messed Up
7. Hitchhike To Rhome
8. The Grand Theatre Vol. II
9. The Grand Theatre Vol. I
10. Drag It Up

 

Motherfuck. Only heard half.

 

Let me know if you want recs based on what you haven't heard. I can vouch for a lot of the albums on that list.

 

This is tough. I've only been listening to them for a little over a year but I've definitely listened to the first few and Most Messed Up way more than the mid 00s ones, so this could change depending on what I've listened to lately

1 - Too Far To Care
2 - Fight Songs
3 - Most Messed Up
4 - Satellite Rides
5 - Hitchhike to Rhome
6 - Wreck Your Life

I guess the other four kind of blend together since I haven't spent as much time with them.

 

By all means, man.

Already planning to catch up to:
Mandolin Orange
Hiss Golden Messenger
Robert Ellis
Shovels and Rope

Was planning to skip:
Keith Urban

No clue:
William Tyler
The Cadillac Three
Cody Jinks
The Record Company
Darrell Scott
Randy Rogers Band
Cody Johnson
Paul Cauthen
Carrie Rodriguez
Michael William Morgan
Hayes Carll
Robbie Fulks
Jonny Fritz
John Pardi
Brothers Osborne

 

Sweet, I'll definitely be checking more of their stuff out.

 

The ones I haven't listened to but have interest in are John Paul White and Carrie Rodriguez.

 

Gravity is a very close blend of their alt-country and power-pop sounds, Grand Theatre is great, just not as great as the others, mostly hard country stuff and Drag It Up is mostly mediocre - "Won't Be Home," "The New Kid," "Bloomington" are good but you won't be missing much at a show if you've never listened to any but "Won't Be Home."

 

The The Record Company record is not one that immediately screamed "country" to me, I wouldn't necessarily have thought of it for this list, but it's a great album. A very classic rock sound, almost bluesy, with some very good songs on there.

I haven't been able to get into the Jonny Fritz record myself, it seems, no matter how many times I listen.

 

Won't Be Home is fantastic though

I've listened to them all, just those four less than the others
