    Ive always been more of a Patty Griffin fan than Neko Case. Its not really “new” country but Ryan Adams Cold Roses record is one of the best ever made. Peak junkie Ryan Adams was unbelievable.

    Cold Roses was a great record.
    In all honesty I think Ryan Adams and Paul Simon are the best singer-songwriters the USA has produced. Townes is in the convo.
    I'd actually go with Carole King in the white people division and Smokey Robinson in the black folks portion.

    The music snobs would say Bob Dylan - though I think he pretty well sucks. Just don't like his tunes.

    Eastern WA gonna Eastern WA. Let us music snobs make the call here.
    I'd take Bruce over Bob Dylan as an appeasementcandidate so the music snobs can maintain their snobbiness.

    At least he had hot chicks in his videos.


    I’d dance in the dark with Ms Cox.

    Also Sturgill Simpson is the most original artist and songwriter in decades. Love how he views Nashville.

    “If the ACM wants to actually celebrate the legacy and music of Merle Haggard,” Simpson wrote in a thousand-word Facebook post, “they should drop all the formulaic cannon-fodder bullshit they’ve been pumping down rural America’s throat for the last 30 years along with all the high school pageantry, meat parade award show bullshit, and start dedicating their programs to more actual country music.”

    Simpson’s tirade hit Nashville like a tornado. Reactions varied from shock to outrage to avid support. Simpson predicted he’d be blackballed from the industry. “That’s perfectly fine with me,” he wrote later. “I’m not sure how you can blackball somebody you don’t acknowledge in the first place.”

    Sturgill nailed it with this tirade.

    Meh, I guess there is some ok stuff here, but I still think New Country is for hot chicks in the videos and not listening to.

    Well I noticed hardly any new country but lots of older country...

    good new country is not played on a radio and you have to hunt it out (I am old fashioned and still listen to the radio)

    You won’t hear any of these tracks on the local Mabel country station.

    actually there is a good classic country station in Hoquiam/southbend 94.7/106.1 - I barely get it at the house but when I have to go to town I be foot stomping to old cuntry
