It's time for an Arfcom Alt-Country thread. I don't think there has been one yet, but I've seen some good songs posted in other threads.
What do you all listen to? I need to find some new bands.

Uncle Tupelo-Graveyard Shift
Hard to believe this CD is over 20 years old... |

No time to look up videos right now but look up Glossary: "Gasoline Soaked Heart" and "Shout it From the Rooftops." Hella awesome very independent band from TN. Checkin them out now. I like it. I need to listen to more Uncle Tupelo. I always liked "Moonshiner" I like some Deer Tick songs pretty well. I like this live version a lot.

I do love me some Corb Lund! I had never heard of him before today, but he popped up on my Pandora. I've been rockin that song on repeat all evening. Check out some his other stuff too. I like his Horse Soldier album a lot. I've got his Hair in my Eyes, Horse Soldier, and Losin' Lately Gambler albums. He's a pretty cool guy. Edit: If you like Truth Comes Out, go listen to This is my Prairie.

Quoted: Old 97s! Great band. Seen them a bunch of times in NYC.Not bad Deej. The video threw me off at first lol. "Time Bomb" - Old 97s (Live) Some great bands came out of alt-county/"No Depression" movement in the 90s. Uncle Tupelo would spawn Son Volt and Wilco. "Punch Drunk" - Uncle Tupelo (Album: "Still Feel Gone," 1991) |

FYI there are two free albums, Southern Independence, that you can download for free. Some of the songs posted here are on them. http://www.givememyxxx.com/ Ok, that URL looks shady. You can click to it from Shooter Jenning's page if you don't trust it. |

I wish they'd hurry up and confirm my acct. so I can download those. Have you listened to the Black Ribbons album? I liked it. I don't even know what kind of music it would classify as.

I ended up drinking beer for a while with one of the guys from Those Poor Bastards at their show with Hank III a couple years ago. |

Choctaw Bingo was written by James McMurtry....i cant post from where I m at.
James McMurtry has tons of great stuff...His Dad wrote the Lonesome Dove series. Charlie Robison Ray Wylie Hubbard Cory Morrow Robert Earl Keen I ll think of more....there is a ton of great alternative (closer to country as it should be) |
