BillyAnchor Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 As an old punk living in the U S and A I have gravitated towards the whole Alt-Country thing. I've seen a lot on this site to suggest there's considerable interest. post away anything relevant. I'll start with this, the cover song that an Alt-Country magazine was named after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Here’s another Australian after the Kasey Chambers/Shane Nicholson. These tracks are from “Fallow”, the CMAA alt-country album of 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 A lot of Alt-Country groups come from very sketchy politic places. Many receive death threats for not getting with the program and when you consider their critics own insane arsenals it's very brave to take a stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) So many I can pick for this from Lambchop, Wilco, Calexico and Okkervil River etc, but I love this song from Sparklehorse in 1995. I remember watching MTV2 at 1am which was called 120 minutes - so many great tunes of music which I was disappointed when they changed MTV2 to some rock shit.

Jimi Shandrix Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 This thread could have been closed after the first post. Uncle Tup are so far ahead of the rest that I feel bad for everybody else. There are very few other records come close to their back cat. The first 3 Son Volt records are big favourites of mine. I'm way more Son Volt than Wilco. The first Sparklehorse album is a tick for me as is "Stranger's Almanac"and "Spoke" by Whiskeytown and Calexico. Off the beaten track a bit, I would recommend "Country Gazette" by World Standard or going back a bit (1978), Robbie Basho's "Visions Of The Country" album as two that may not have been heard as much but definitely deserve to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Probably the one group I never saw that I would like to have most is Uncle Tupelo. I also much prefer Son Volt to Wilco. Sarah Shook came out of Chapel Hill when I lived there, did a few free shows but now is getting national attention here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Tend to listen to the harder end of this genre nowadays, bit of Thrashgrass/Anti-Folk played by smelly crust punks with drug problems. But this is the exception. Fucking love Stick and Poke edit: not these two aren't smelly punks with drug problems. They can just hold a tune Edited July 23, 2022 by AsimButtHitsASix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Probably the group Ive seen the most at least in this century. Great show and if looking for an album too far to care is a great start. In this video I love the guy in the hat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
