I grew up with my dads favorite bands, (who I found a love for the dawgs) willie Nelson and the allman brothers. I can sing any song they produced.
Anyways, I love some new country. When I say new country I mean it. My favorite singer is tyler childers but I've found a love for sturgil Simpson.
Yall post your favorite artist. Please dont post a well known fake country artist (luke bryan).

I am a lot older that you...not gonna say how much older, but suffice it to say, old enough to be your dad.
I also grew up with my dad's favorite country artists, too....artists like Nelson, Jennings, Cash, Jones, etc. And that's what I still like. I also like some Bluegrass, like Alison Kraus. My son had her song, 'Down in the River to Pray' played at his wedding. And there weren't many dry eyes in the house during that song, either.
I don't consider the Allman Brothers to be country, even though a couple of the songs they produced could have been called country....like 'Blue Sky' and 'Ramblin' Man.' They are what I consider to be the first Southern Rock band.
And this is why I cannot, under any circumstances, tolerate any country music produced after about the early 90s.
If I had to name an artist from now that I like and who I consider to be true to the origins of the Outlaw genre of C&W music, I would say Chris Stapleton. But that's just me.
Whiskey Myers, Cody Jinks, Tyler Childers, Whit ey Morgan, Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall
going to see The Steel Woods next Saturday
Country music used to ****.its better now
I've never understood why people exclude artists from being part of a genre of music. It's still that genre, you just don't like their music, no big deal. But maybe someone here can enlighten me. Why is Luke Bryan not a country music artist? What genre is he if not country?
The whole genre thing can be confusing. One of my all time favorite albums was Ray Charles country music album. I never really think of him as a country artist, but those songs were as country as granny's possum stew.
I don't much like "modern country" - I'll stick with more of the oldies, even Hank Sr as well as George Jones and Merle and such.
I quit listening to country music after Waylon, Willie, and the boys. Also Don Williams.
Like Kraus and Stapleton also. Krauss did a good one with Paisley also. Liked what Stapleton did with Timberlake a few years back on a music awards show. Blues
Grew up on southern rock, saw many of them in concert in Savannah in the 70’s. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and others. The newer country music reminds me more of the old southern rock than the country music of the 80’s and 90’s. Saw Lynyrd Skynyrd play at Hanner Fieldhouse at Georgia Southern a couple of nights before the plane crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant and others. Like the red dirt music bands out of Texas, got into Whiskey Myers after seeing them playing on the tv show ‘Yellowstone”.
@coastaldawg Charlie Daniel's has played over here at the golf course. Been years ago. He was playing a concert over at GSU, went to Baxley to visit where family grew up, and stopped by the course with wife to play 9 on way back to Statesboro. Got pics in the proshop.
I agree on the new country. Like it better than the old stuff. Grew up listening to it with my dad. His nickname for me was and still is Bocephus.
Baxley, that’s close to my hometown. I’m not a huge country fan but I’ll always like Charlie Daniels because he jumped his old ass on a blackhawk and flew out to Fob Caldwell and played for us while we were in Iraq. I listened from a distance, crowds..... but it was great.
