/cmg/ Country Music General

[Xavier Reed]

I rarely see a decent thread that's open to discussion of country music, so I'm going to try and make this a thing throughout the next days. I just want to talk about my favorite genre and share good old tunes. Here's a few artists to get this started:

Townes Van Zandt (the best of 'em all)
Gram Parsons (a close second)
Kris Kristofferson
Guy Clark
The Felice Brothers
Steve Young
Karen Dalton
Richard Dobson
...and the obvious classics:

Hank Williams Jr.
Waylon Jennings
George Jones
Merle Haggard
Willie Nelson

For those who still haven't dug deep into country yet., the movie "Heartworn Highways" is a good starting point.

Damn, I meant Hank >Sr.
Junior is crap.

[Andrew Robinson]

Found out about this guy from tales from the tour bus show, I recommend that show if you like country or even if you don't

Blaze is great too, forgot to add him there. On par with all the ones on the list.

Never expected to see Rodney Crowell on here, much less in a threadstarting post. The Houston Kid is GOAT.

I have never listened entire albums of George Jones. Merely loose songs. Which albums post rock and roll could should I hear?

I've only just started to get into Rodney after a long time of just knowing 'Bluebird Wine'. Should I start with a proper full listen of THK?
Ha! I can certainly enjoy a wet brain, like Coe or Paycheck, but I could never swallow Bocephus for some reason.
