[Trizm]

Okay Ive been listenin to a lot of muzik and now im trying to get into Country. So Im askin for all da country fans out there ta drop your favorite artists/tracks/albums whatever. As long as its some good stuff.

 

[twosteppin]

I would recommend

Pat Green, album: Three Days
Dwight Yoakam, album: This Time

My dad loves Marty Stuart's Tempted. I haven't heard much of it myself, but the one song I heard, tempted, is good.

 

[Breetai]

Garth Brooks - The Thunder Rolls

listen to the live version

 

[traingosorry]

Anything by Hank Williams Jr. ( note the JUNIOR part)

 

[Redneck]

For a start, list to 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' or 'The Legend of Wooley Swamp' by The Charlie Daniels Band

Anything by Hank Williams Jr. ( note the JUNIOR part)

Bocephus!

I'd also recommend artists like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, or Merle Haggard, from the 70s.

 

[traingosorry]

but it's close... and you'll probably like it.

Wilco and Billy Bragg got together to put music behind Wooody Guthrie's words - they came up with 'Mermaid Avenue I & II '
It's a mix-up of alt.rock, folk and country - good stuff

 

[Sors]

Willie Nelson....only country you will ever need.

 

[blackwasp]

Chet Atkins...if you consider that country.

 

[Redneck]

Willie Nelson....only country you will ever need.

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again...

Does Willie put vitamin C in his weed now?

 

[all2elohim]

I love some old Tom T. Hall myself.
And any George Strait is always a safe bet.

 

[Breetai]

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again...

Why would anyone ever do that?

it's not every day you meet someone who's "trying to get into country". Most country fans are just naturally in love with it, or they were raised on it.


it takes all kinds; that's what i always said.

We learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town...

 

[thewinterofourdiscontent]

Johnny Cash. Some kind of greatest hits would probably be the best. The man had a lot of albums. There's a live album called "At Folsom Prison" that's really good.

Then there's some good alt-country stuff.

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (i've heard one of their earlier albums is moreso, but i haven't heard anything bt YHF)
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Damien Jurado - Where Shall You Take Me

 

[prettyrose436]

people! what about new stuff! lol... Faith Hill, Deana Carter, Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, John Michael Montgomery (sp?).. that's all i can think of for now but I'll get back to ya on some others

 

[thewinterofourdiscontent]

there's a reason i didn't mention any new stuff...it's horrible. honestly old country and alt-country are where it's at.

 

[theFijian]

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy aka Will Oldham - alt country. Also any of his recordings under his 'Palace' pseudonym. Very very good.

 

[traingosorry]

I would suggest:

Toby Keith's Greatest Hits Vol or Shock'n Y'all. 2
Tim McGraw's Live Like You Were Dying or Set this Circus Down
Chely Wright's Let Me In or Wright in the Middle of It
Just about anything by Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr., Patsy Cline,
Garth Brooks's Double Live or his last CD (not sure what it's called)
Kenny Chesney's No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem,
Alabama's Greatest Hits Vol 2.

There's a few more I can't think of the artists' names but basically I don't like country but I do like all those CDs for the most part.
