Yes, this is a Country music thread.
Reccomend me some. I hate that I am even doing this thread. But I admit I love Cash, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Etc....
Please reccomend me artists and your fav song by the artist you reccomend.
Thanks.

Cash is all you need.
The country I've heard from Hank III is good if you're looking for something new... definitely old style outlaw country (lyrically updated for today,
but not really musically, and I mean that in a good way)... but I've heard that his "punk" music sucks. Either way, his country is good.
You can always check out some Merle Haggard and Steve Earle.

this would take awhile, so here's a start:
Hank Sr. - You Win Again
Ray Price - Heartaches by the Number
Louvin Brothers - Can't Keep You in Love with Me
Buck Owens - Streets of Bakersfield
Ernest Tubb - Walking the Floor over You
Merle Haggard - Mama Tried
George Jones - Just One More
Wayne Hancock - Thunderstorms and Neon Signs
Fred Eaglesmith - Alcohol and Pills
Johnny Cash - Man in Black
Delmore Bros - Blues Stay away from me
Jimmie Rodgers - Waiting for a Train

fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin

Cash is great, also Hank Sr. and III (never got into Jr.), Ernest Tubb is classic and can't miss, Wayne "The Train" Hancock is a current (and
fantastic) singer who puts his own spin on some old style sounds, I would also recommend Drag The River and Halden Wofford &The Hi-Beams for a couple
more current bands with older sounds.

Not sure if you would consider it country or not but Tom Waits puts out some good shit. James McMurtry is also pretty good. If you can find it check
out "Vietnashville" by Houston Marchman.

Corb Lund band are really good.
Also, try tracking down some Old Crow Medicine Show.
That's newer stuff with an old school sound.

Here's some records I think are essential, most old, a couple newer:
Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes (my favorite country album of all time)
Merle Haggard - Back to the Barrooms
David Allan Coe - Longhaired Redneck
Hank Williams Sr. - just get 'em all (the 10 disc boxset is MORE than worth it at full retail price, but you can usually find it for about half-price
on Ebay, etc.)
Hank III - Straight To Hell
Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger
Johnny Cash - have no clue where to tell you to start, there are pinnacle albums from all eras of his career, from the Sun years through the American
Recordings...
George Jones - Cup of Loneliness compilation (2 disc set of some older stuff - great place to start)
....and I could go on....most of the old-timers listed above have SO many damn albums, I just listed my faves/good starting points in case you have
not heard them....
My favorite country artist is *probably* David Allan Coe, but Waylon Jennings is so close behind I'll call it a tie. Hard to go wrong with any 70's
Coe or Jennings records...

Get all the Highway Men records. It is Cash, Waylon, Nelson and Kris all together. Amazing stuff.
