Odd because Religious music used to be some of the best in the world.

Warren Zeiders, Cody Jinks, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall are all pretty good.

Ignoring the Luke Bryan pop style country, you can find some very good musicians in the genre.

Modern pop country is and has been trash for over 30 years but there's tons of good shit going back to the outlaw days and from the odd person even still. It just isn't what gets traction.

Neko is legitimately one of my all time favorite artists. Probly my absolute fave. But she's not really country.

That said some covers she does are, and furnace room lullabies has strong trad country influences, but overall I wouldn't call her a country artist myself. Maybe sparrow is indie mixed with alt country and just uniquely neko / buffy st marie ubfluence... but As an artist shes more indie by far imo. Esoecially if you consider her work with the new pornographers.

Neko Cases solo albums are definitely country more than anything imo

just the old singer-songwriter style of country doesnt have that much in common with what people call country nowadays

I'd argue its equally folk music.

That said I played her a lot back in ky radio days ans we worked at a country station. When the old music manager retired the owner took that job over and got a few neko songs into the Playlist so I just took thst as an okay to play fucktons of neko songs. Lol.

Partially I agree but I mean I wouldn't call most of the tigers have spoken country music if I had to define it.

Listen to the San Andreas country radio station.

Aside from that, here are some suggestions:

  • Amos Lee - Arms of a Woman
  • Gram Parsons - Return of the Grievous Angel (bonus: there's a cover by Ryan Adam and Emmylou Harris that's a lot slower and more tender)
  • Brandi Carlile - most of the album By the Way, I Forgive You, but also Heart's Content, Turpentine and Until I Die
  • Joy Williams - The Trouble With Wanting
  • Rachael Yamagata - Dealbreaker
  • Dar Williams - Iowa and February
  • Alison Krauss - The Lucky One
You might just not be a fan and that's totally fine, but I used to not really like country music either. I still really dislike bro country and like rap country, i.e. Florida Georgia Line - and while Chicken Fried is an okay song, the fucking out of nowhere nationalistic turn right at the end doesn't sit right with me - but I've connected with more folk-influenced music like The Mountain Goats and a bunch of the twangier picks I recommended above.

I don't like songs about wiping your ass with a corncob and growing taters because you're a Real Country Boy. That shit sucks ass. Country music that exists to validate being a stupid hick is dogshit that's going after the lowest hanging fruit. But I think it's a mistake to think that all country music is like that, or that all southern people who champion country music fits into that mold.

Country and folk music is best when it's telling an emotional story or capturing an emotion. That's Dar Williams in a nutshell, her song February is a masterclass in narrative structure in music - that song is like a Russian nesting doll of sadness, I legitimately wrote an essay about it for fun.

I've ranted and rambled about country and folk music for a while, and I'm sure you weren't asking someone to change your mind. Feel free to dismiss this, you've made your decision and I respect that you feel differently. But I wanted to speak as someone who's slowly come around on country and folk music to say that even if you hate it today, there is so much good music out there that you might one day find something that clicks with you and gives you a taste of something you legitimately enjoy. It's not all Hank Williams and Chad Morgan and Slim Dusty, these repetitive twangers about farming and being from the bush or what have you that drone on and on. There are masterpieces that you may one day come to love. I've been there, and I just want to ask you to keep your mind open to the possibility of finding something you enjoy.

As a last recommendation - which, granted, is solely rooted in "folk" rather than "country" - give If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot a go. It's about a real divorce, and I found the elaboration about how it feels to cope with a failing marriage and struggle with understanding what went wrong to be incredibly insightful. It's slightly bitter, but it's a man coming to terms with the end of his marriage and it's an absolute masterpiece. If you don't listen to any of the songs I've recommended, it'd be fantastic if you at least considered this song a listen.

It's your call, though - I respect that you feel differently.

The vast majority of genres are dead to the mainstream. Zoomers have literally zero exposure to music outside the norm which is why they don't argue about it. Remember when kids thought fucking Master of Puppets was some lost gem released from the vaults because of stranger things? They don't shit on music because they don't know anything besides their dad gum beep boop music.
