aight so since I bought my truck a few weeks ago, I've magically just started to like country music. must be some weird phenomenon among trucks. anyway, anyone got any good country? lookin to throw some on my ipod
Cross Canadian Ragweed (alt country) Hank Williams, Hank Williams III (maybe jr too if your into that Hank III does alot of diff genre stuff running the gamut of metal to oldd school country) David Allan Coe Wilco (kinda alt country, newer shit) Wayne Hancock Billy Joe shaver Waylon Jennings Cowboy Junkies (oddly enough canadians like yourself ) Willie Nelson For more singer songwriter stuff: Townes Van Zandt (most underrated songwriter of all time, honestly his shit makes bob dylan look like an amateur) Guy Clark Steve Earle James McMurtry For more goofy but still talented musicians check out: Junior Brown (made his own guitar/steel guitar hybrid and fucking tears it up) Unknown Hinson (motherfucker made the squidbillies theme, nuff said) Roger Allan Wade (prolific songwriter but mostly does goofy shit for his own recordings) Shel Silverstein (yes THAT shel silverstein) Depending on the different types of subgenres you like i could suggest more, "country" on the radio isnt country at all 99% of the time, not sure if your topic is serious but to anyone reading i suggest you check out some of the bands listed and listen to some real country before generalizing the genre based on shitty radio stuff and stereotypes. EDIT: Kenny Chesney sucks dick.
thanks everyone my topic is serious lol. for the longest time i though country was garbage but i decided to give it a chance and i love it. thanks for all the great stuff buddy

Wanted to throw that out there, hes got some great shit. Mix between folk, country, blues and flat out rock. I feel its pretty accessible for fans of any of those genres. Great lyrics too man
