    There’s so much great music everywhere, and I truly enjoy nearly all music. But if you listen to FM radio it’s a damn shame that almost all of it is just the stale, overplayed, corporate safe stuff. THAT is the country most people dislike

    Newer bands I can think of with an old school country feel are First Aid Kit, Gregory Alan Isakov, Secret Sisters etc. And the new Hunger Games movie soundtrack is a great sampler of slow and fast folk/bluegrass vibes

      Local radio station plays Isakov, I wouldn’t have labeled him country, but I like him a lot.

        That’s fair the acoustic indie/folk/country categories blur together in my head
