luci 04.23.18	I rec'd that Panopticon to Boney cause I think he'd genuinely like Disc 2 but he was like "hell no" lol
Drifter 04.23.18	Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs
Dedes 04.23.18	Wovenhand- Blush Music. Same dude from 16 Horsepower actually.
luci 04.23.18	Natalie Hemby - Ferris Wheel Came out last year. She co-wrote 3 songs on Golden Hour, album has a surprisingly similar vibe. Here's a teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBWYvVuJEKQ
ZombieToyDuck 04.23.18	Neil Young-Harvest Dixie Chicks-Fly or Home is great too
BlazinBlitzer 04.23.18	"I rec'd that Panopticon to Boney cause I think he'd genuinely like Disc 2 but he was like 'hell no' lol" Even then, isn't it a little more bluegrass than country? I'm not sure how enthusiastic he would be about that genre. Anyways, Jason Isbell all day, both his latest album and Southeastern are tight.
luci 04.23.18	bluegrass, country, americana.. what's the difference lol
PitchforkArms 04.23.18	TVZ TVZ TVZ TVZ TVZ
PitchforkArms 04.23.18	a bunch of the old cheesy western stuff is great Big Iron by Marty Robbins Riders in the Sky by Vaughn Monroe etc.
BlazinBlitzer 04.23.18	There are apparently some differences in all three, so maybe bluegrass isn't Boney's thing quite as much as country is.
theBoneyKing 04.23.18	People got some good ones already but I’ll throw some in as well: Jason Isbell - Southeastern; a perfect record regardless of genre, check out my review Guy Clark - Old No. 1 Neko Case - Furnace Room Lullaby John Moreland - In the Throes Drive-By Truckers - Decoration Day Turnpike Troubadours - Diamonds and Gasoline Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator) Wilco - Being There Patty Griffin - American Kid
theBoneyKing 04.23.18	“bluegrass, country, americana.. what's the difference lol” Well, Americana is more of an umbrella term for music that combines country with elements of contemporary folk, blues, rock, and other types of roots music. As a term it didn’t really emerge until the late 80s/early 90s so it often gets confused or combined with alt-country (which it often exists alongside but is not quite the same thing as). Bluegrass is much older and is based on a slightly different instrumental background, is usually faster and more improvisational than country and also incorporates more gospel influences a lot of the time. And country is, well, country. So I guess roughly you could consider bluegrass and Americana as subgenres of country, but it’s not quite that clean-cut.
bgillesp 04.23.18	Boney, you'd like the new Steep Canyon Rangers i bet
BigHans 04.23.18	I used to legit have Country as part of my pie chart.
luci 04.23.18	thx boney, pretty clear clarification
Atari 04.23.18	more recs than I was expecting already lol. should keep me busy this week cheers fellas :]
Atari 04.23.18	"with elements of contemporary folk, blues, rock, and other types of roots music" sounds like Caitlin Canty to me, which you still haven't heard I'm assuming smh ;P
luci 04.23.18	the natalie hemby i rec'd actually sounds like golden hour ;)
Rolling Girl 04.23.18	More on the line of folk, but still good. Emmylou Harris - All I intended to Be The Audreys - Sometimes the Stars
Atari 04.23.18	lol Lucid I'll check it out. Like I said before, comparing her to Musgraves was mostly a shameless (and failed) attempt at getting people to check her out due to the popularity of Golden Hour. I just didn't want her album to be completely overlooked due to being released on the same day as such a huge album, but we're past that now, ha... GH is almost "too" poppy at times for me to jam back to back honestly, so I found Motel Bouquet to be a nice, chill break from the more upbeat nature of that album :D
BlazinBlitzer 04.23.18	Oh damn, I just made Boney do all the dirty work lol.
Arcade 04.24.18	Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy best country album ever
theBoneyKing 04.24.18	^ That album is like 70% alt rock and 30% country at best. Great album nonetheless.
DrMaximus 04.24.18	Lee Hazlewood- cowboy in sweden
neekafat 04.24.18	Sturgill Simpson [2] Chris Stapleton - From a Room Dixie Chicks - Fly Dixie Chicks - Home Dixie Chicks - Taking the Long Way (these are all different so if you don't like one you might like the others
Get Low 04.24.18	Definitely listen to Kacey Musgraves' first album if you haven't.
Atari 04.24.18	"70% alt rock and 30% country" recs like this might be ideal honestly, to help ease me in ;]
BigHans 04.24.18	Heres 10 random Country & Western Songs that are absolutely essentials if you haven't already heard them. (Note, this is actual country, not Alt Country, Pop Countyr, etc. Not that those suck. Just is what it is). 1. Country Boy Can Survive - Hank Jr - Best song ever 2. Midnight in Montgomery - Alan Jackson - An awesome ballad about Hank Sr's ghost 3. Cocaine Blues (Live at Folsom Prison) - Johnny Cash. - Best song ever 4. The Thunder Rolls - Garth Brooks - might be the best song ever 5. Coward of the County - Kenny Rogers - a Song about fighting rednecks 6. If Drinking Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will) - George Jones. All you really need to know about this song is it has the lyric "With the blood from my body, I could start my own still). 7. Poncho and Lefty - Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard - probably the best song ever 8. The Ride - David Allen Coe - Yet another song about Hank Sr's ghost 9 . Are You Sure Hank Done It THis Way - Waylon Jennings - Easily the best country song ever. 10. Killing Time - Clint Black - Because its about drinking
Atari 04.29.18	Thx for the additional recs Hans! I’m taking my time but I’ll get to those when I can . Added 8-11 to the list as well, all are very good
theBoneyKing 04.29.18	Good on you checking 11, it’s a beaut. I saw your soundoff - I’m glad Porchlight did it for you but if you still think the album is a bit too country for you you might try some of her later albums; she has actually gotten less and less straight country with each release and is now more in the realm of alt/indie rock, albeit still with country inflections. Plus, she has a new album out in June!
theBoneyKing 04.29.18	Also make sure you don’t overlook Hans’ recs, he’s right that those are much better examples of pure country than maybe anything I gave you, my taste admittedly runs more on the alt-country/Americana end of the spectrum so you’re gonna get that stuff from me (mostly)
Atari 04.29.18	so far I’m thinking I may prefer alt-country/Americana as well but I’ll give a fair shot to as much here as I can :] And yeah I’ll be checking more Neko Case for sure
Cygnatti 04.29.18	cowbow in sweden [2] give gill landry - s/t a listen. slightly mundane but very comforting ^_^
DominionMM1 04.29.18	"2. Midnight in Montgomery - Alan Jackson - An awesome ballad about Hank Sr's ghost" fuck yes "9 . Are You Sure Hank Done It THis Way - Waylon Jennings - Easily the best country song ever." fuuuuuuuuuck yeeeees "10. Killing Time - Clint Black - Because its about drinking" fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
