Country music isn't the most popular genre of music on the internet, but it has a pretty big real life fan base. Sadly, the real life fan base likes a lot of terrible country music that gives the genre a bad name. It has its fans though, so this thread is for those of us who want to talk about this beautiful form of music.
If you want to drop an album or song review, go for it. You wanna share some news? Do that too. Just wanna talk about your favorite artists? That's welcome as well. Talk about Hank Williams, any of the three of them. Talk about the origins of the genre with the Carter family or Jimmie Rodgers. Talk about Willie, Waylon, and Me and the Outlaws. Talk about the Possum. The ladies of country music, past and present. Maybe you are into the weirder side of alt-country, that's welcome too.
I'll start off with my favorite albums of each year of this decade
2010 - Less Wise (Cody Jinks)
2011 - A New Home in the Old World (Austin Lucas)
2012 - Cabin Fever (Corb Lund)
2013 - High Top Mountain (Sturgill Simpson)
2014 - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music (Sturgill Simpson)
2015 - Traveller (Chris Stapleton)
2016 - I'm Not the Devil (Cody Jinks)
2017 - Wrangled (Angaleena Presley)
2018 - Liberty (Lindi Ortega)
Sturgill Simpson is my favorite current country artist, but I am a big fan of Cody Jinks, Chris Stapleton, Angaleena Presley, Sunny Sweeney, and a lot of others. I also love a lot of classic country too, my all-time favorite country artist might be Merle Haggard.
