This is what Country music should sound like.
No. Any fool knows that “Real Country Music” has dirt backroads, pickup trucks, and tight miniskirts.
Outlaw country.
Meta modern got me interested in Sturgill, “you can have the crown” sold me on him. By far my favorite song of his.
Oh lewronggeneration always out in force on the weekends. How many octaves could Freddy Mercury sing? And what was it that Trent Reznor said about Johnny Cash singing “Hurt”? And which is better hip hop dancing or swing dancing?
Its not the end of the world that people like things you might not. Not caring about the fact that they do makes life a whole lot more fun to live.
Thanks for showing me this, it’s a great song. I’ve been listening to a lot of bluegrass lately because nothing else I’ve come across comes close, but this is awesome.
But this is country music… so this *is* what country sounds like.
What’s with the pickup on his guitar? Why does it cover the hole?

This is what a commercial looks like.
It’s kinda cool seeing both a Telecaster and a Stratocaster being used in exactly the context they were designed for specifically. We tend to relate those guitars with rock, punk, etc, but that came after.
But he didn’t say anything about mamma, trains, trucks, prison, or getting drunk.
You mean how it used to sound?
I mean country pop sucks but evolution to something else is inevitable, we still get some good country music.
Canadian country.

Another country recommendation with a female singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtxUDSRfmto
This is the perfect country & western song.

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song and he told me it was the perfect country & western song. I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country & western song because he hadn’t said anything at all about mama, Or trains, Or trucks, Or prison, Or getting’ drunk.
Well he sat down and wrote another verse to the song, and he sent it to me, and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written the perfect, Country & western song.

This is country music.
You’re probably thinking of “hat pop” – Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, et al.
Modern country music (radio country) is almost literally just top 40 pop music with a banjo/fiddle, a vague southern accent, and a slightly different backbeat. They can take any top 40 pop song, throw in a few elements, and it’s a “country” song.
This is classic country music, which is mostly speeded up blues with more arpeggiated “stuff” going on in between beats.
They’re just two different genres at this point. Country & Blues and Pop Country, and so I don’t think there’s much reason to say one should sound like the other…they’re not both under the same umbrella of “country” anymore.
If you want more music like this, search for Honky-tonk when looking through country music.
This still sounds rubbish to me, sorry mate.
https://youtu.be/6gBV-Nzq7Pg he’s got a great song about psychedelics
I’ll follow this up with a guy called Colter Wall. Fantastic songwriting and just great songs.

[Canadian country](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAp7FvZ5Opw) hasn’t been overly Nashvilled : )
we play both kinds of music Country AND Western.
The thumbnail is silent, so yeah, that’s pretty much perfect country music.
Shout out to my work for being awesome.
Sturgill is a defibrillator for modern country. Listen up.
Sturgill Simpson is one of the best songwriters and performers working today. Period.
Featuring Johnny Depp on the bass guitar
Forecastle!
If you say you don’t like country you should give this guy a try: I highly recommend his song Welcome To Earth (Pollywog), I couldn’t even classify it into a genre when I first heard it.
What?! [I thought this was what *real* country sounded like.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzz4sZ0UZvw&index=14&list=PLOGlUTs2CNW0v6jMTtOyBXVKJ5gQ62xA8)
Best live show i’ve ever been to. Saw him in Portland in November
You might like Hank Williams III
This just really makes me want a beer. Marketing = SUCCESS.
I love seeing the sun king shows on here, nice find!
Eh. I always thought that Ryan Bingham, or Turnpike Troubadors, or Drive By Truckers were always closer to what I thought of as “real” country, but it’s a diverse genre.
Country singer that’s using his actual voice? Wow!! I was actually able to listen to this. The regular country music makes me want to cut me wrists.
Or you could, you know, let people create the music they want to create. You little turd.
JRE!!
I first discovered Sturgil on Joe Rogan’s podcast a couple years ago. This is my favorite song of his…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMOVkSspiWg
[Chris Stapleton](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgKyPtvIHbw).
This song isn’t necessarily country but he’s insanely good, and many of his song are “real” country.
You goddamn right
Sturgill is the fucking man. I celebrate his entire catalog. If you get a chance, his SNL performance was also fucking awesome.
Now this is Pod Racing with Beer and Country music
What the fuck rhymes with Bronco?
there’s not enough pedal steel in this.
i’d also like to suggest neko case and holly golightly for good modern country.
I LIKE TO DO THE CHUNKY DUNKY
Oozesa they ooozes on my toes.
