I ran into him yesterday, laid back guy, he was very playful with my two boys.
Best country music you will not hear on the radio?

As (Eastern) Kentuckians we should be proud and thankful for these two. Middle length videos but worth listening to.
Some lesser known Kentucky bluegrass guys. Great band.

Ray Wylie Hubbard...just saw him a week ago in Cincy.
I've been enjoying these guys lately, they are from Northern Ky.
Prine should be in this thread, all of his stuff actually. This one hits home because I lost someone to it. But you won't hear it, even though it's Prine.
Blackberry Smoke and Whitey Morgan are solid, but neither are "country" in regards to the defining aspect of that genre.
This is the best thread ever..... I have learned a couple of things.....
1.... There is always somebody you never heard of that you dig musically.
2.... I am pretty sure I have been to some of the same damn shows as pygmy sasquatch.....

3.... Lots of us like Americana music the bastard child of country and folk.
David Allan Coe has the perfect country and western song about mama, trains, trucks and gettin drunk.
He's coming to the Steam Engine Pub in Irvine soon.
He's coming to Stage AE in Pittsburgh in a week or so and I may go see him there. Would like that show in Irvine though.
I got Jim Beam on my breath and I love you on my mind...what a lyric. Love Cody Jink's music and he put on a hell of a show in Pittsburgh. And I am not a fan of Pittsburgh....
Yes, great band. But you have to give us a link brother. Otherwise it's like when I told you I outran the KSP in the DBNF, right?
1) Merle Haggard
2) Waylon Jennings

Going really old school, Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys. Love that old stuff.
Someone mentioned them earlier, but the Turnpike Troubadours are the best act in country music right now. Superb songwriting, perfect blend of traditional and modern sounds, just an all-around great band.
The top 4 plus Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys, Loretta Lynn, Willy Nelson, Don Williams, Buck Owens & Johnny Cash are exactly why I have Sirius XM- so I can listen to channel 59- Willy's Roadhouse.
Only a handful of today's country singers I can listen to:
Sturgill Simpson and Dwight Yoakum being the the two best IMO
Man I'm telling you I love your list. I really like Don William's, love to hear him on Amanda. Buck Owens Tiger By The Tail, and Loves Gonna Live Here are some of my favorites. I'm 45 and grew up listening to this music because that's what Dad always listened to. I only listen to that old stuff now.
Can't believe it took that long for someone to mention John Prine. Rolling Stone magazine ranked his new album "The Tree of Forgiveness" the 22nd best album of the year, regardless of genre.
