LeazesMag 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 can anybody recommend some for me ? Don't particularly want cowboy sort of shite, but people like Glen Campbell.......I like odd tracks by the likes of John Denver, Nanci Griffith, Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson. That sort of thing.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Never listen to any of those. And definitions of country might vary but I like Jenny Lewis, Jolie Holland, Loretta Lynn and Buck 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Six Organs of Admittance if your happy to go folky If you've not heard the Robert Plant Alison Krauss album it's good too. Neko Case is superb too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniffer 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Toby Keith. Tim McGraw. Jerry Jeff Walker. Garth Brooks. Faith Hill. Loads of them out there just depends what type of country you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14000 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Ryan Adams and the Cardinals do some good country stuff. Jacksonville city nights is a class album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4256 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Emmylou Harris - the pure bluegrass is a bit too much for me but some of her later stuff is quality. If you want to stretch the definition then two massive favourites of mine are Mazzy Star and Rilo Kiley - not strictly country but tinged with a bit.

sniffer 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 If you want to stretch the definition that far then........Jimi Hendrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Is it just me or was the best radio station on GTA San Andreas, K-Rose? That and the DUST I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I can't speak highly enough of Teddy Thompsons 'Up Front and Down Low' album. Y'all hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'd strongly recommend 'Nebraska' by Bruce Springsteen. Pure class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to stretch the definition then two massive favourites of mine are Mazzy Star and Rilo Kiley - not strictly country but tinged with a bit. I'd agree about reccomending Mazzy Star, particularly for Hope Sandoval's voice, not as country mind (though on the odd song i can perhaps see what you mean, the odd one is bluesey as well, but definitely worth a listen!

Sonatine 11121 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Mojave 3 are class, more alt country though. Can't go wrong with a bit of Gram Parsons either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually categorised as "dream pop" which also covers other bands I adore like Belly. However I think Mazzy Star fall into my particular take on country although admittedly with a bluesy touch as well - a niche also occupied in my tastes by early Texas. Of course Hope also occupies a place in my pantheon of Godesses as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15115 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I live in a household that hears an awful lot of the Dixie Chicks, Patty Loveless, Reba McEntire, Gretchen Peters, Trisha Yearwood and so on, so if it's the girly end of the market you're after, I could recommend stuff all night. Two recent albums I'd definitely suggest you check out are "Rattlin' Bones" by Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson (even though they're Aussies - hey, who says it has to be authentic Nashville?) and "Coal" by Kathy Mattea, which - for all it's inspired by the hills of Kentucky - should strike a chord with anyone with Tyneside roots. I'll ask the better half for some more blokey recommendations at some point. Brad Paisley springs to mind, but don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cid_MCDP 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Dude, download "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" from American IV by Johnny Cash. It came up on my shuffle playlist today. Duet with Nick Cave. Brilliant stuff. "Carmelita" by GG Allin isn't bad either. Obviously, he's not exactly known for his country songs, but it's pretty fantastic.

Meenzer 15115 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 If you've not heard the Robert Plant Alison Krauss album it's good too. Aye. Her "A Hundred Miles Or More" compilation is a decent starting point and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Why not go right back to where it all started and get The Carter Family album. A bit ropey in the recording (understandably so, given the age) , but it has tunes that stick in your heed, make no mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
