No one gives a shit about that trash
Fuck off
Jacob Fisher
I'm a part of what some people call the "alt-right" and it feels country as fuck. It feels like an actual counter culture, or rebellion against the yankie culture that dominates American cities.
Cameron Richardson
uh how about no?
Robert Jones
Nu-Males don't get country

Colton Hall
Drive By Truckers new album is fanfuckintastic and I'm upset it got slept on by everyone.

It wasn't lost on me and It's being praised in alt country circles. What an album. So far it's the best Trump era America album which is made even more remarkable by the fact that it was made and released before election day. If people want insight into the Red states and why people voted the way they did then it's all there in Roots Country.
Jaxon Foster
How ironic that a scene dominated by the political left is more in touch with the conservative working class/rural life than mainstream country and establishment Republicans
Ryan Hernandez
Oh, definitely. I've been saying regardless of one's politics, it's probably gonna be a great time for music.
I don't live in the South, but I do live where it's farms for a 50 miles in any direction, and a lot of roots is a snapshot of basically any rural, racially/ideologically homogenous area.
I fucking hate hat acts and I hate what they've done to country.
Parker Evans
Brian Fallons (of the Gaslight Anthem) solo album Painkillers is pretty good heartland rock too...

Jackson Hall
I grew up in Atlanta, but spent plenty of time out in the sticks and boonies of the Appalachians and down in the plains/swamp area.
I agree man.
Gabriel Powell
Huh. Wouldn't have ever heard this.
Thanks for the rec.

Mr. '59 Sound himself.
That one was a nice surprise and just different enough to stand out in a bountiful year of great roots music.
Zachary Cook
Johnny Cash is really underrated as a concept album artist and his 70s-80s albums, while maybe not as honed as both some of his earlier and later works, are worth a few listens.

he always kept it interesting, even in the fallows of his career. restless creativity will drain you dry but he always managed to strike a balance.

I've listened to Bottomless Hole like 400 times but man I can't really get into The Handsome Family. There's like 5-6 songs of theirs I like.
Asher Lopez

they could stand a bit more pizzazz but then i've been listening to this stuff for awhile now so i'm not objective at all.
Luke Wilson
They're more "real" country than Jason Aldean and co.
