JamieTwort 04.26.17	Townes Van Zandt - Townes Van Zandt is one of the greatest albums of any genre ever.
Grimlin 04.26.17	Those Poor Bastards
theBoneyKing 04.26.17	Country is actually the greatest genre and if you disagree you just haven't listened to enough of it yet. Lots of good recs here already (except Cyg's...wyd buddy stop it with the bro-country) but I'll throw a few in myself Willie Nelson - Phases and Stages Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co Steve Earle - El Corazon Lambchop - Is A Woman Uncle Tupelo - No Depression Whiskeytown - Stranger's Almanac Wilco - Being There
Dylan620 04.26.17	Oooooooh good call on the Is a Woman rec, Boney; I was gonna hold off on that one because I don't really think of country when I listen to it, but I probably prefer it over the four albums I listed

Cygnatti 04.26.17	this is the greatest country song btw, jam it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ais2uSUwIuY
danielito19 04.26.17	boney country is nowhere near the best genre.... its simplicity is too limiting
TheTripP 04.26.17	Man yall are giving me a lot to start with thanks! KILL that probably would have been a smarter idea I honestly have never used that. But I like all of your thoughts and recs
theBoneyKing 04.26.17	danielito the fact that you say that just proves my point
Cygnatti 04.26.17	"danielito the fact that you say that just proves my point" not a good argument fam. basically saying: "if you agree with me, ty for proving my point; if you don't, ty for proving my point."
Sevengill 04.26.17	Costa Rica is my favorite country
theBoneyKing 04.26.17	Well my original point wasn't 100% serious first of all. That said, his saying that country's simplicity is too limiting shows that he does not have much experience in the genre as there is plenty of country that is not "simple". Regardless of that, what he said rests on the assumption that complex music is better than simple music, or at least that the best music is complex - an assumption that I very much disagree with.
TheTripP 04.26.17	all music is subjective anywho no matter the genre, I just want more knowledge in country because I am curious to actually find some good stuff plus not being the "fuck all country music" douche
butcherboy 04.26.17	tim hardin.. gram parsons.. tim rose.. did anyone say karen dalton yet? she's amazing..
theBoneyKing 04.26.17	I'm glad you have an open mind about the genre AaroN! I mean even as a big country fan I agree that there is some absolute trash that's come out of country, but that's true of every genre, really.
dbizzles 04.26.17	Uncle Tupelo is such a dope name that I might just check that out ASAP.
bgillesp 04.26.17	Not too country, but Casualties of Cool- S/t is pretty amazing
bgillesp 04.26.17	It's ambient country I guess. Also Sturgill Simpson [2]
TheTripP 04.26.17	thanks for the recs butcher do you have preferable albums to those artists? and thank ya Boney I agree with shit in each genre as well as believe in great treasures in each genre as well
butcherboy 04.26.17	karen dalton - in my own time.. a phenomenal record.. Tim hardin - tim hardin 2 both are more folksy than square country, but both are also staples of Americana music..
TheTripP 04.26.17	awesome appreciate it yall are just so kind to lil ole me
ZombieToyDuck 04.26.17	These aren't all standard country per say but definitely worth checking out Johnny Cash- all the american recording albums are great Neil Young- Harvest (his old stuff in general is best) Crosby, Still, Nash and Young- Self titled and Deja Vu Dixie Chicks-Home Rascal Flatts-Unstoppable Grew up hearing my dad play a bunch of neil young on guitar so definitely high recommendation to listen to harvest

LeftyMcRighty 04.28.17	AaroN - Some GREAT selections here! Also some great recs from others. Wil Oldham, Those Poor Bastards, Sturgill, Townes Van Zandt. I'll throw out a couple more- Trampled By Turtles - Songs From A Ghost Town (but any album is really good) .357 String Band - Fire and Hail The Devil Makes Three - Devil Makes Three Old Crow Medicine Show - OCMS Sean Rowe - The Salesman and the Shark Deer Tick - War Elephant
LeftyMcRighty 04.28.17	And whoever said "Florida Georgia Line", NO. Just no. That represents everything that is wrong with country pop bullshit. Shame on you.
Deathconscious 04.28.17	I mostly only like country when its mixed with other genres. The Handsome Family - Singing Bones The Coffinshakers - The Coffinshakers Amigo the Devil - Manimal The Goddamn Gallows - The Maker Murder by Death - Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon
Deathconscious 04.28.17	I really wish southern gothic/gothic country/whatever was a bigger genre. I think country is a great sound to mix with dark elements.
TheTripP 04.28.17	thanks Lefty and Adolf, gothic country sounds pretty awesome actually
guitarded_chuck 04.28.17	Richmond Fontaine
theBoneyKing 04.28.17	I should check some gothic country one of these days, I've heard really good things about 16 Horsepower and Jay Munly
LeftyMcRighty 04.29.17	check out Handsome Family, for sure!
LeftyMcRighty 04.29.17	Didn't even realize you updated your list. Nice!

JWT155 05.19.17	Chris Stapleton is great
WatchItExplode 05.19.17	Save a horse, ride a cowboy! Say hey pretty lady won't you give me a sign? Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee it gets hotter than a hoochie coochie that's probably good enough for now
TheTripP 05.23.17	Thank you Explode
TheTripP 04.04.18	Coming back to this here and there, been real busy. Still a great looking list
bgillesp 04.05.18	I forgot about this but will probably use it this summer after I catch up on 2018 stuff. Needs Blackberry Smoke- Whippoorwill btw and White Buffalo- Darkest Darks...
DominionMM1 04.05.18	need some 80s country up in here
theBoneyKing 04.05.18	Not really, as with every other genre the 80s were pretty dismal for country outside of a few artists, such as Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, and Rodney Crowell (who would all go on to do even better things in the 90s or later). Probably some others I’m forgetting or not aware of but 90s 70s and 00s are really the way to go for country.
SandwichBubble 04.05.18	You have 1 rating from 1980 boney, where is this talk coming from
theBoneyKing 04.05.18	Well, some stuff I haven’t heard closely or recently enough to rate, others I’m aware of songs just not albums. I’m always open to hearing more stuff of course, but in my investigations I just have not found much terribly worthwhile country from the 80s.
theBoneyKing 04.05.18	For example while I haven’t any stuff rated by them I’ve heard a decent amount of stuff by artists such as George Strait, Garth Brooks and Randy Travis as well - enough to say I don’t find them terribly impressive. Off the top of my head I can’t think of other popular acts of the 80s who didn’t have greater success in other decades.
SandwichBubble 04.05.18	Sounds like a case of major label syndrome. Try digging a bit in the independent 80s scene.
theBoneyKing 04.05.18	Recs? I do like some of The Mekons and Jason and the Scorchers, but they’re more crossover cowpunk than pure country. I’ve got that Songs From Suicide Bridge album I know you love already too. Idk man, every new 80s album I check further confirms my belief that the entire decade was a mistake, music-wise :-/
combustion07 04.05.18	Waylon Jennings all day "if ya wanna get to Heaven gotta d-i-e, gotta put on ya suit and t-i-e" make a cold motion like a d-o-g and check it
neekafat 04.05.18	Check Dixie chicks first (;
DominionMM1 04.05.18	"Not really, as with every other genre the 80s were pretty dismal for country" what other genres, exactly? and to dismiss an entire decade of country as not worthwhile is disingenuous at best
theBoneyKing 04.05.18	Imo the 80s were the worst decade for music, at least since music “got good” in the 50s/60s. I’m being a bit reductive just because I like to shit on the 80s, of course there were good artists in country in the 80s as in other genres, it’s just that in my experience those artists weren’t that good or as I said did better things in other decades (and hence I wouldn’t really characterize them as truly 80s acts).
TheTripP 04.05.18	Yeah the 80's SUCK! Jk I have no idea... I have been coming back to this here and there then get lost in new music. But I still am enjoying this list a lot. I keep coming back to Deer Tick and Sturgill Simpson quite often!
DominionMM1 04.05.18	the 80s saw the introduction and popularization of neotraditional country which featured a sound and style akin to the honky tonk country of the late 40s/50s with tinges of bluegrass thrown in (e.g. george strait, randy travis, dwight yoakam, etc). then of course you had the "class of '89" when clint black, garth brooks, and alan jackson all had major breakout hits in that year. it may not be for everybody but it's a huge part in the history of country music.
theBoneyKing 04.05.18	That’s certainly a relevant movement, I’ll give you that (indeed I mentioned all those artists above myself) I just don’t think it resulted in much good music. The rise of alt-country and Americana in the late 80s/90s really revitalized the genre as a whole.
DominionMM1 04.05.18	in terms of popularity it was those 80s artists who really brought country music back to relevancy
bgillesp 04.11.18	The new Steep Canyon Rangers is real good
Papa Universe 04.11.18	Canada is a good country for idiots...
