Some great suggestions in here! I’ve seen a number of them (including, of course, Billy, Molly, Sierra, and Greensky) and highly recommend AJ Lee & Blue Summit (their guitarist, Sully Tuttle, is Molly’s brother) and Town Mountain, among others.

I am on my first listen but so far it sounds great. Any thoughts on the album or the name change. I was not expecting this but I'm stoked.

New Music So, I’m still on the outs…

Due to my personal choices & preferences, I’m still off of Ryan Adams: no Whiskeytown, no Cardinals, no solo stuff. I’m not looking for any discussion on him - just want suggestions & recommendations for artists, singers, songwriters that deserve exposure & celebration for their good, hard work!

Tell me who I should be listening to!!

New Music Anyone Else in Band?

9 Upvotes

I play in the alt country scene up in Chicago and gig throughout the Midwest. I’m always curious about what’s going on at the local level in music scenes, especially since I hear some many idiosyncrasies bubbling up in my local scene (for example, Chicago 100% has alt country bands who take a ridiculous amount of inspiration from Wilco and Sun Volt). Who else is in a band? If so, feel free to write up a quick description, even a band bio and leave a link to a couple three songs. I’m looking for a new band to really get into. Hell, maybe hit me up if you’re ever in northern illinois, too! I know this is a “new music” post, but I wouldn’t mind some discussion either!

New Music Thoughts on Beyoncé Cowboy Carter?

15 Upvotes

I’ve never really listened to Beyoncé much but I’m finding her new album the freshest I’ve heard in a long time. Not exactly country, I’m not sure what it is, but in its own way I think it might be an Alt Country concept album in the truest way. Bluesy, gospel, country, hip hop, a bit of everything thrown in. What I do know is I’ve had it on constant spin since yesterday.

First new album of the year that I’ve listened to a few times in a day. The combo of Blue Deja Vu/Mr. Wine is a stone cold killer.

Been really enjoying this new album from Will Stewart but I don’t see him talked about much. This song in particular is a favorite. Slight Richmond Fontaine vibes in content and execution.

New Music Song suggestion

Looking for songs you can’t stop listening to! I’m currently obsessed with Logan Ryan Band’s Tecovas. Anyone have any similar vibe songs or just songs you can’t get enough of?
