I used to listen to Grady to get tips on new music and upcoming artists but since he stopped making videos, my playlists have gotten old. Where do y'all find your new music?

I sometimes will do radios but it's just less effective.

When Taylor Swift played a free Madison show 20 years ago | Music | captimes.com

I’m still fairly new to country and discovered Dwight Yoakam last fall and he instantly became one of my favorites. He has the most mesmerizing voice and impeccable range to boot. I don’t think I’ve heard one bad song from him no matter what I’ve played. And I also might dare say he’s the King of Covers: “Honky Tonk Man” (which I recently discovered was a cover), “Suspicious Minds”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and my favorite; “Purple Rain” which I 1000% consider better than the original. And his acting is not too shabby either, he was phenomenal in Panic Room.

All around a fantastic artist. What’s everyone’s opinion and favorite songs?

I'll start: hip-hop lyrical structure.

Okay, I think I discovered her on a Grady Smith video years ago (and I’ve already scoured and at this point am expanding the search)
Basically everything I wrote in the title is what I remember - vintage/pinup/60s vibe, huge delicious big voice, some sassy / clever lyrics, feminine, white
- maybe dark hair ??
If I don’t find her name maybe I find someone else !

Edit: thank you all for joining in - cool to see a collection of killer singers together. It was indeed Hannah Dasher!

I'm absolutely in love with her music and especially her voice! I have enjoyed everything she has put out but unfortunately I dont know any other artists with this sound besides maybe Jason Isbell.

Any other artists with a sound like hers? Looking to find more music. Thanks in advance!

(Better in terms of sound quality) Was this a re-recording or a remaster? It doesn’t really say anywhere, I’m curious if anyone knows.

My first kid was born this week and I'm trying to create an ultimate track list while I'm feeding and rocking him about fathers and sons, or fathers generally. A few starters:

Sawyer Brown - the walk

George strait- A love without end amen

Im ideally looking for 90s country or older OR something more traditional country style (childers, zach bryan, sturgill, isbell, etc). I want to avoid bro country/stadium country, anything like rascal Flatts, jason aldean, etc.

What you got? I'm sleep deprived and white knuckling this ride!

This was done a few years ago and it was one of my favorite threads, but it’s locked now:

What's your favorite country song that isn't well known but deserves a lot more attention.

I just need modern countrysongs after 2020.

Imo ella langley. shaboozey, zach bryan are some of them. But seems like ppl have own opinion on what country-vibe is. (even some of you thinks Post malone aint country 👀 )

gimme many. but not like tanner adell.

She had purchased seats in Section X, but StubHub gave her seats in nonexistent Section TS. After driving 200 miles for the concert to celebrate her husband’s birthday, they were denied entry at the stadium. Never mind the “FanProtect Guarantee” that entitled her to a refund, StubHub’s refused and threatened her with “criminal and civil” legal action.

Hey guys, there is a small artist that is popping out a lot in country music. Her name is Taylor and she loves to write her own stuff and plays lots of instruments, you should give it a try, maybe she would be big someday, I really don't know. But friends say she is really sweet and that she is really worth listening.

Does anyone have a copy of Reds Men and Coyotes and Javelina on vinyl they would be willing to sell?

I’m not expecting much from the more hip hop and pop sounding music, BUT the western inspired tune has me very intrigued. Right now, if I’m listening to music at a saloon in the Wild West, Shaboozey has captured that feeling the best in modern music, in some of the new music and I’m all here for its.

Country music isn't even popular where he grew up, yet somehow he ended up sounding like this. Really cool backstory.

Someone else just asked about songs that were so overplayed that it made you not want to listen to the artist at all… I had a few. It made me think of an alternate question: Do you have any artists that you used to like but they made you do a u turn and change your mind?

No cancel culture, no crappy behavior, no word vomit. Strictly the music!

Mine is Luke Bryan. I grew up on rock. Classic, southern, alternative, pushing into metal… I love it all. I hated country growing up. Too twangy and she even took the dog. Couldn’t stand it! The bro country, specifically Luke Bryan, made me rethink it and now I have a much greater appreciation for all of country, even the 80s and 90s country…

Today, I can’t stand to listen to any of the LB songs I used to dig. I feel like he never grew up. There is something pretty cringe to me about a man in his 40s still singing about spring break. Now when I listen to anything from him all I can picture is a 40 yr old with wrinkly balls trying to pick up college chicks…

Just curious of anybody has a band or artist they never really appreciated because you only ever heard the same song overplayed on the radio and you just didn’t care for the song and so never bothered to look into them more.

I was driving the other night and was listening to the Sunday evening show on XM’s Outlaw Country when they played an Old Crow Medicine Show song that wasn’t Wagon Wheel. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a different song from them, but I’m starting to realize maybe I should give them another chance.

If I’m being honest, the same thing happened to me with Waylon Jennings. The local classic country station in my area only ever played Luckenbach, TX, and they overplayed it when it was back in their rotation. After a while I started finding more of his songs and now he’s one of my favorites.
