Skip past all the “pop” country; the “bro” country; and there’s a lot of good country artists. Artists that have real songs and stories to tell. Not just jeans, pick up trucks, and being “southern”. But are actually sorrowful, thoughtful, and sometimes, extremely progressive.
- Lost Dog Street Band / Benjamin Tod
- Sturgill Simpson
- Amigo the Devil
- Tyler Childers
- IV and The Strange Band
and so many others, Matt Heckler, Dead South, Colter Wall… go listen to real country, indie country. Not corpo country.

Need Hank Williams (the og, not ii or iii), Johnny Cash, merl haggard, Waylon Jennings on that list, to name a few.
And thanks for the recommendations, will have to check them out

Oh yeah, for sure. I was just trying to think up modern artists to illustrate that good country music is still being made today. Otherwise I’d add people like Willie Nelson, Woodie Gunthrie, Johnny Paycheck, etc etc etc… and the list would be eternally long.
