This thread isn't for you if you're a boomer who thinks country music peaked when the singers looked like this:

When I say modern, I mean people making music now, touring now, and releasing new music still. I have found modern country that I like better than pretty much anything made in the past. I will post some examples, and welcome others to share some of their favorites.

One of my favorites: Tyler Childers

Tyler Childers - Nose On The Grindstone | OurVinyl Sessions




The Turnpike Troubadours:

Trampled by Turtles - Wait So Long

modern country music is gay pop music.

Tyler Childers is not country and he is a BLM cock gobbler.

Some might call this 'not country,' but how much more country can you get than a woman playing a fretless banjo that she built herself?

I don't like country music that gets radio play.    Whiskey Meyers, turnpike troubadour, Ryan Bingham, Chris knight, steel drivers are all regulars on my play list.  I liked Luke combs until he became nashvillized.

Yep - I listen to all of those regularly. I posted a representative sample, but there are many more.

I found a few by accident, but once I found a Pandora channel that played this stuff, I found even more of it. I haven't listened to a "country" radio station in decades.

That's a good one, country/folk blues. Way better than Rap/Gay/Pop country music.

Here's another one

Original 16 Brewery Sessions - Colter Wall - "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie"

Most, if not all, of those artists are folk, bluegrass, or Americana genre, they wouldn't be classed as country.

And Childers is liberal trash, same with Sturgill.

Try Flatland Calvary, Brent Cobb, and Charley Crockett. Crockett is especially good for an old-time country sound in a young artist.

ETA: Here's Crockett at the Ryman

Honestly, if I avoided liberal entertainers, I'd hardly ever be entertained.

Thanks for the recommendations. Two of those are new to me. This is something I hoped to get from this thread (that and winding up the boomers still listening to LPs and yelling at clouds).

"Well, yeah I mean, I hate to generalize on a whole genre of music, but it does seem to be missing that magic element that it used to have.
I’m sure there are people playing country that are doing it well, but they’re just not getting the attention that the shittier stuff gets.
But that’s the way it always is, isn’t it?"

Much of it is labelled that on various things, but what's the difference? How is people playing acoustic string instruments and singing about rough, blue-collar, rural living not country?

I think it's the essence of country, and is more authentic than the lame shit that is on country radio. Homos like Alan Jackson and Clint Black with contrived accents and costumes from the western-wear store perform "real" country, but the Steeldrivers and Turnpike Troubadours don't?

I don't really pay attention to the political leanings of musicians for the most part.  

What did Sturgill Simpson do to brand him a leftist?  Of course that term is used quite loosely here, similar to fascist on DU I would imagine.

Cody Jinks, Aaron Lewis, Colter Wall, and Whiskey Myers are the only "new" artists I've heard lately that are worth a shit.

If I hear auto tuned vocals and dance beats, I turn it off. That ain't country.
