I've got high hopes for Maren Morris.

but that's pop not country, it's not even pop country, it's just pop. it's not bad, just not country, and you had me all excited for a second, there's not a lot of females in modern country who are actually country instead of pop country.

If your view of what's Country and what's not Country is that narrow then, yeah, good luck finding any new shit you'll like. The new Marn record is about as Country as the new Sturgill record btw. Maybe even moreso. Maren is Country. She was born Country. She paid her dues playing Country. Her sound could evolve into something deeper and more meaningful which is why I said that I was "hopeful." Considering that her big hit single is slightly blasphemous and getting no love on christian radio and her follow-up single has a prominent curse word (featured in the chorus no less) is a good sign of things to come for her.

give her couple more albums. she's definitely one to watch. Writing and playing her own stuff. Gigging since she was a kid. I predict that it won't be long before you're eating your words. It's too bad women get ignored in Country threads here. They're where it's at. Just like the Roots movement back in the early '00's which was led by women like Dolly Parton, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Dixie Chicks, this new "Thinking Man's Country" movement has some great women too, like Brandi Carlile up there and I'm hoping Maren joins the club. The only thing men in Country have done since the Roots movement is dumb the genre down with bro Country and Patriotic country and Hick Hop. Hell yeah I'm gravitating toward Women in the Country underground. Maggie Rose, Aubrie Sellers and Brandy Clark are doing interesting things that put anything the guys are doing to shame, probably because they're not bogged down drinking, driving and checking out chicks, they get to sing about other shit.

Yeah, women in country are definitely overlooked, but I can’t quite into Maren Morris. Like the other user said, she’s just a little too pop-oriented for me.
Juan Bennett
if you can't take the heat... the truth is the truth. also shovels and rope were my jam back in 2012. they have this punchy cover of an old rodney crowell song on their covers album that's pretty ace.
Dominic Ward
Kacey Musgraves is probably my favorite t b h
Charles Nelson
well if it's all the same, I'm going to keep my "eye" on her for all the reasons i listed above and ahem more. "my church" is the only thing i've heard on Country radio this year that didn't make me want to go on a shotting spree at the nearest Boot Barn.
Adrian Russell
Listening to Hero right now, and it’s actually coming off a little better than my first listen. Still don’t like “My Church”, but the rest of the album is at least solid.
Appreciate seeing Kacey Musgraves love, probably one of the better pop country artists around, and I think Ashley Monroe is killing it right now as well.
Colton Ramirez
Yeeeesssss! I like Ashley Monroe as well.
Dominic Edwards
More than anything I'm just hearing her potential. It's all ahead of her. I've only feel the same way about one other Woman Country artist this year and that's Lucinda Williams. This year she went Jazz Country and once again she's trailblazing. Her last couple albums played it safe musically but she stretched out on her new album, another 2016 must-hear in the Alt. Country genre (pic related). I hope her next album is more in this new direction.
Dylan Rodriguez
how you feel about the whiskey sisters?

Grayson Parker
this here isn't country but I figured the folks in this thread would enjoy what I consider an amazing collab between a rockabilly band and the lead singer for a punk band
