01.18.24 | For sure would check Conway first. Those two albums are great. Merle would be next. Accessibility is easy with the bigger artists. It can go anywhere after that. For Honky Tonk/trucker stuff that Kay Adams album is really good, as well as Charlie Walker. More ballady stuff would be Wilma, Roy Drusky, etc. Texas Troubadours album is great especially if you dig more western and guitar oriented country. My personal favourites on this list are the Hank Jr., Wilma Burgess and Mel Tillis' album right now. |

01.19.24 | get with the times grandpa smh!
this is my favorite era i think, i really like hank but not sure if the pre-50s stuff is rly my thing otherwise. am happy to be proven wrong tho |
nuklearmoose
01.19.24 | Production wise, I fucking love reverb, so the 60s was my time. I have gotten into late 50s stuff, esp honky tonk but 60s era is definitely my jam. Listen to some of these Pitch and lemme know what you think. |
Ryus
01.20.24 | smae i loove the production on most 60s country
this list reminded me of how much i love the genre :] |

01.22.24 | The Bill Phillips record on here is great. I love Marty Robbins, as well, late 50s is usually pretty fine by me! I usually gravitate to the stuff that has minimal or no drums but can go for some of the hammier and overwrought stuff in the 50's and 60's that has fuller arrangements with a full drum kit going (Don Gibson, some of the Marty stuff (think White Sportcoat), Buck Owens, etc - but all of those tend to dip back into the pre-60s era a little) |

01.24.24 | Ryus - Im glad I could help you remind yourself of that!
Pitchfork - Yeah, I love that record too. The Dolly Duet is great too, really pulls you in with the first track and Bill's voice really carries the record. That is an interesting point. I can't fully remember but do you drum in your band? I haven't listened to drums as much, but listen a lot more to steel guitar/rhythm and lead as well as vocal melodies |
