The Official Country Music Thread Genre • Page 159

Didn't see a thread for Jack Van Cleaf so I figured I would post about him here. His album Fruit from the Trees is from 2022 but I just heard it a few weeks ago, and it's great. He opened for Katie Pruitt at some recent shows, and fans of her should definitely check this out. Also Isbell, Zack Bryan, etc.

 

I think I mentioned him in the Katie Pruitt thread, he played a great set including a couple of fabulous unreleased songs!

“Rattlesnake” is great and I also really like this one.

 

New Kaitlin Butts album out today. Kinda expecting her to blow up with this album.

 

The Megan Moroney album is great. Definitely one of the smartest country songwriters to come along in the past couple years.

 

new Sturgill is incredible

 

Oh man, I didn’t know about this. That’s unfortunate. I quite like her.

HR Derby anthem singer Andress entering rehab

 

I’ve been into the new John Moreland album lately, what of his should I listen to next?

 

High on Tulsa Heat

 

Yeah, High on Tulsa Heat is the album that captures him at his very best, and probably the next step to take if you like his newest album, which sounds pretty similar. For more experimental Moreland, I also really love LP5.

 

I also am a big fan of Big Bad Luv along with the others mentioned above

 

Yeah sometimes I think Big Bad Luv is his best.

 

I love all John Moreland, but In the Throes is my favorite John Moreland.

 

New Gillian Welch album out August 23rd!

 

Honestly never thought it would happen

Will absolutely be going to the tour

Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings - Woodland (August 23, 2024) • forum.chorus.fm

 

As far as Moreland goes I like Tulsa Heat the most, then LP5, then all the others about the same except Birds, which has some great songs but doesn’t do it for me overall

 

New 49 Winchester is quickly moving up my most anticipated list. Every song so far has been great.

 

they mentioned this on Indiecast this week and it's very good

 

Haven’t listened yet but when Hyden said riyl “early Yoakam, Steve Earle - Guitar Town, The Mavericks” I basically did the lean forward in your chair meme

 

yeah it's very 80s/90s influenced

 

Well that immediately flies up the list.

 

Yeah you don’t hear the mavericks in particular get mentioned too much these days and that sure is a great way to get my attention

 

Red Clay Strays album is going to be on repeat for a while
