Any of yall ever listened to Sturgill Simpson? Man, as I drove back to east tn this past weekend to get ready for opening day I was listening to this radio app on my phone and he came on and Ive been jamming to him ever since. I think him and Jamey Johnson are my two favorite country music artist of this era. Who are yall listening to?
Jamey Johnson and Sturgill Simpson is all I listen to on Pandora. I can't stand the new "bro country" like Luke Bryan. Makes me want to puke just seeing him.

Im with ya buddy. Cody Jinks is pretty good too if you aint heard of him. Im just thinking of what I plan on listening to come early morning opening day. Last year my buddy and I listened to Willie and Merle and we doubled up on opening day but didn't have any luck the rest of the season. Im gonna switch it up this year.
I generally listen to the old stuff..Haggard, Jones, Jennings but I am a fan of Jamey Johnson too.
If it's real country music I'll listen to it, the new stuff... :z-dizzy:

I saw Robert Earl Keen at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, N.C. last Friday 3-12-17. Great show, as usual. I'll go see him anytime he plays within 100 miles of here.

Sturgill Simpson is awesome. His latest album is incredible and the fact that he wrote it for he son is that much better and you can definitely pick that up by listening to the meanings of the songs.
Cody jinks is an awesome up and comer as well. There isn't a bad song on his latest album I'm Not The Devil. Check him out as well. You'll be glad. Oh yeah and I guarantee you Hippies and Cowboys by him will be on repeat, it's on a different album.

Same here but also like Cash, Hank Jr. Conway, and Chrystal Gale not to mention a few. Satellite radio is a good thing.
Now we're talkin' about my kind of music. Most of the crap on the radio today isn't country.
You can add Whitey Morgan and the 78's to that list. Also check out Justin Townes Earle (Steve Earle's son) for a little more country/folk/americana blend.
As I'm reading this one of my favorite tunes just came on the radio. Glorious Day by Casting Crowns
Sturgill is a good guy. I used to go watch him and his band play around Lexington when I was in college. I've also hung around him a few times in social settings. He one of the most down to earth/humble people you will meet and I'm glad he's been successful with his music, especially after giving it up for a while. I like his newest album, but meta-modern sounds is a great one too.
I heard a few songs by Ray Scott and he aint bad either. Check out his song "The Ugly One" had me laughing and made me think of my two buddies back in east tn.
AC/DC,Van Halen,Drowning Pool, 3 Doors Down, Black Sabbath,FFDP, Def Leppard, Ratt, Dokken, Maiden,Fleetwood Mac....etc...That's where it's at fellas...
If you like Sturgill Simpson check out William Elliott Whitmore. More Americana/Folk than country from down in Lee county Iowa. You'll never hear him on commercial radio, but he has a small and loyal following. I've seen him a few times live, always a great show.

Another one of my favorites is Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. If you grew up in the 90's it's basically the Refreshments

My musical tastes run the gamut, name a genre and I can name some songs I like.
Any Hank Jr. and Waylon and I'm good to go.
I like red dirt/Texas country/ classic country. Randy Rogers band, Cody Johnson, turnpike troubadours, Casey donahew band, Aaron Watson , etc, and anything of old country.

Justin Moore! Some of his best songs in my opinion don't even play on the radio.

I figured it would be MC Hammer. Please Hammer don't hurt 'em!
Walt Gabbard is on , mostly to my ears at this time of the year. "Ain't nothin else to give me this thrill" best hunting quote also.

I'm a big fan of Jamie Johnson n his type music. Luke Bryan is more pop than country imo. The lady I'm w likes him n we went last year to see him. It wasn't exactly my kinda music but a good show. May be one of the best I ever saw so it was ok.
4 hours getting out of the Pa lot wasn't fun though. Broke records for attendance so somebody must like em
You're a better man than me. Is my wife would have wanted to go is had to say I'll see ya when you get back. Luckily, she thinks he sucks just as much add I do.

To each his own it coulda been worse. The radio around my parts plays all the poppy stuff. You gotta get CDs if you want anything else. It's not country I'll say that
Can't stomach country music.......... If someone put a gun to my head (and that's what it would take) I could MAAAAAAYYYYYBE listen to some Johnny Cash without hurling........ Maybe.
Cash is classic!
I can listen to other stuff too-Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Marshall Tucker Band, Allman Brothers Band, Alabama, Stoney Larue, Charley Daniels Band, Steve Earle Frank Foster. My all time favorite...Keith Whitely.
