Modern country music is twangy pop shit for country bros and Stetson hat ho’s. If it were a truck, it would be a lifted crew cab Silverado on 24” rims with low profile tires and neon lighting everywhere, and a “Salt Life” sticker on the window.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Most, if not all, of those artists are folk, bluegrass, or Americana genre, they wouldn't be classed as country. Quote HistoryQuoted: Most, if not all, of those artists are folk, bluegrass, or Americana genre, they wouldn't be classed as country. Quoted: OP. I think you like Americana music. Not country music. Ok - fair point. Much of the stuff I listen to is categorized as Americana or folk music by many. However, I contend that the Turnpike Troubadours and quite a few others mentioned in this thread is the "real" country music being produced these days. It has the elements and style that old time country artists are lauded for, and I think if people who like that stuff would listen to it, they'd like it. I'm trying to share it, instead, I get dolts trying to say that a group of guys playing acoustic string instruments sounds like rap.

Quote HistoryWhen you put this photo of Porter Wagner up, it proved you have no clue as to what you are posting about. If you watched Porter Wagner on television, you would think he was just another typical country singer with a flashy suit singing typical country songs from the era but that is far from the truth. If you saw him live, it was a totally different act from anything else out there. He was actually a comedian and it was a comedy act. Porter would be singing some very serious, tear jerker song about his dog getting run over, his wife leaving him, momma dying, etc. on one corner of the stage and people in the opposite side of the audience would be wondering why the audience was laughing hysterically over where Porter was. When he made his way over to the other side of the stage, that part of the audience would find out. Porter had many, many panels ( probably as many as seven or eight or more) sewn to both the right and left inside liners of his coat with large words that could be read from the last row. The phrases stated all kinds of crazy stuff that went along with the lyrics of his songs. When they broadcast these performances on television, he played the camera angles so the viewers at home could not see the joke. To sing seriously, switch the microphone from hand to hand with the coordination of picking out the correct panel plus working the angles of cameras and the venues was sheer genius. |

Quoted: This thread isn't for you if you're a boomer who thinks country music peaked when the singers looked like this: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/252069/Porter_wagoner_1999_jpg-3029359.JPG 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.

OP is wrong. Most modern country music is horrifically terrible. And I say that as someone that's not a fan of really old country music either... Old country music is actually quite boring. However, I was raised listening to mostly country music in the late 80s throughout the 90s which I believe was country music's best era. Though country music started it's downward spiral in the late 90s and early 2000s to the point where it's at today. And I'm not going to say all modern country sucks... If I can manage to sit through a few hours with a local country station on the radio I might hear a couple modern country songs that don't completely suck, but sadly, most of them do.
And I'm not a metal fan or an 80s rock/hair band fan either, so that's not it... Also not a pop fan, but pop music's best era seemed to be in the very late 90s and early 2000s. Most pop now is just a bad if not worse than modern country. Just my opinion of course. I just stick to listening to bands I like now and I've mostly given up on finding new music unless it's by chance that I just stumble on to it somehow. |

Turnpike Troubadours Shane Smith and the Saints Jason Boland & the Stragglers Zach Bryan Josh Abbott Band Wade Bowen Lots of overlap with old Texas music like Robert Earl Keen and Ray Wylie Hubbard. Jason Isbell and Tyler Childers are pretty far left, but they still make good music. Same with Hayes Carll. I listen to them sing, I don't vote for them. Chris Knight is pretty good. I wonder what his username is when I hear this song:  Chris Knight - In The Mean Time Judging by previous posts, nobody is going to listen to that one either. Good thread, OP. |

I haven't heard the term 'red dirt' music before, but I might check that out. You also mentioned a couple of bands I haven't heard, so I'm gonna check them out. I spend a lot of time in my workshop listening to music, and this thread has given me some new stuff to look for. I know I could've titled the thread 'New country music I think is good,' but I don't know if even that would've helped. Some of these mouth-breathers obviously just type responses based on the title without even taking a moment to look at the posts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There is some good modern country out there, but it doesn’t get played on the radio. You have to go looking for it. Yes! This is really my point. If you turn on the "country" radio station, you hear crap. If you look in the right places, you can find that there is good, country music being made right now. While generally true, the small town near me has an independent radio station that plays a lot of stuff I've not heard aired anywhere else. This includes bands I already mentioned and more of that type as well as some folksy stuff that I enjoy, but wouldn't call country - stuff like Brandy Carlisle, Lake Street Dive, and The Lone Bellow. |
