Thanks for posting that. I'd not heard of her before but I really like her voice.
This thread is full of awesome. I'm usually not much for country music, "but, but, Utah!" Anyway, I try to keep an open mind and so far I've not been disappointed.
Man this thread makes me smile. There is so much cool stuff going on in underground/roots country-or whatever it's called.
-Colter Wall sold his soul for that voice
-Jason Isbel's last album started with a song about his friend dying of cancer and the whole album got sadder from there
-Justin Townes Earle is more talented than his father (fight me)
-Tyler Childers is Eastern Kentucky's answer to Kurt Cobain-that guy has the fury in his heart
-Sturgill is turning into a chameleon. First album sounded like Waylon Jennings, last album sounds like Floyd.
-Someday David Rawlings is going to go electric and everybody will figure out just how good he is
In reply to ScottyB :
If Jason Isbell hits you that hard, never EVER listen to Ian Noe. He makes Isbell sound like happy Saturday morning cartoon themes songs.
In reply to barefootskater :
That's because I bet most of what you have been exposed to as "country" music is Nashville-produced commodity product meant as filler between commercial breaks on CMT and your local megawatt hick-40 station.
FYI: Volume 1 of Cuttin' Grass was released last month. The Ryman concert (linked above) is amazing stuff. I tend to prefer live recordings over studio recordings when it comes to bluegrass...but the album is very well done. Who knows when Volume 2 will be released, but Volume 1 is available.
The "sound and Fury" album he did ismy number one on repeat for 2020. Not his usual stuff but man can he rock hard.
I was supposed to see Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers for my birthday this year. Thanks covid.
Whiskey Myers is a solid listen too. And Chris Stapleton dropped a new album a couple days ago. It's great. He also did a really good job fronting the Steeldrivers.
