The Official Country Music Thread Genre • Page 152

May sound a bit extreme, but in my opinion nobody is doing it better than John R. Miller right now.

 

As far as pop country goes, this is pretty good

 

New Margo Cilker out today and it’s sure to be one of the years best! Also, always nice to have new music from Will Johnson.

Yeah excited for Margo. Also, everyone should check out Stephen Wilson Jr. His album Søn of Dad is out today. He kinda reminds me of Travis Meadows.

 

if i love jake xerxes fussell, who else should i listen to?

i moved to texas last year & fell in love & now i like country, surprising turn of events

 

First artist that comes to mind is Willie Watson bc he takes a similar approach to Fussel where he takes old folk tunes and gives them his own spin.

I don’t really think of Fussel as country but more folk blues, so I’d also recommend Charlie Parr, Ryley Walker, Phil Cook, and maybe Steve Gunn.

 

Damn. Glad she's doing her but I feel like her voice was needed

 

Someone stole the last 0.4 from the score but this was an excellent write-up

Gillian Welch: Time (The Revelator)

 

Speaking of Gillian…trying to not be upset she and Dave have been working on this instead of that goddamn Revelator vinyl self-pressing they’ve supposedly had in the works for 5+ years haha

 

Yeah im diggin that stephen wilson jr.

 

New album November 10th!

 

New Charles Wesley Godwin out today. Fans of Zach Bryan would possibly enjoy, they seem to be buds and have toured together some. Will be surprised if he’s not one of the next guys to really blow up.

Yeah excited for that and Lydia Loveless today

 

Great release day. The Charles Wesley Godwin album is very good

 

Just now checking out the Godwin album and I'm very into it

 

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival was this past weekend, and I had a blast. Highlights were Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Sierra Hull, and Margo Cilker. Sierra Hull did a bluegrass version of “Mad World” that was stunning. I only caught part of Christone “Kingfish” Ingram’s set, but what I heard was pretty incredible as well. But he’s a blues guy, not country or bluegrass.

 

Saw Erin Rae last night at a small local venue, and she was great! Her opener, Skyway Man, while not as folksy, was amazing as well.

 

Love them both. Skyway man is waaay underrated!

 

Potential album of the year out today.

 

Most gorgeous country song I've heard in a minute.

 

Loved his last album. Listened to this once and sounds like he picked up right where he left off. Hope his career finally starts to pick up some steam.

This one is actually a Warren Zevon tune I believe, but you are right it’s incredibly well done.

 

If the only metric you measured an album by is the number of incredible songs on it American Heartbreak would be one of the greatest albums of all time.

 

Jordan Davis just announced as playing here in Oslo next February - think I'll go to that one!
