Yes, it was me that posted it...
Ah, yes, how jolly confusing 😆
I'm just getting into it. I've found myself listing to German C&W station RPR1 on tunein quite a bit recently - particularly when driving.
Hayseed Dixie are awesome, if you like them have you heard The BossHoss?
I always love this version of John Prine's 'Speed of the sound of loneliness'
Pyro I saw The Dead South couple of weeks ago. Great gig and they’re back in January. I’d also invite Myley Cyrus (sp) to do her campfire songs. Well worth checking out on You Tube.

Also got back into listening to Lone Justice for the cowpunkers scene.
I got kinda into the really trashy stuff ironically at first but now kinda like it.

Edit - how do I embed a video on this forum then?
Can't believe Lucia Williams hasn't been mentioned (sorry, can't post vids)
My wife and I started listening to a bit 3-4 years ago after watching 'Nashville' on TV..
It has escalated a bit from there, and our 11 year old daughter listens to a bit as well now.
We went to the C2C festival at the O2 back in Feb and saw Kacey Musgraves, Sugarland, Luke Combs Kip Moore and a few others.
I really like Ashley McBrides stuff, Sugarland (Jennifer Nettles was amazing at C2C) and a new Irish girl called Catherine McGrath. I'm also quite happy listening to some older stuff.
I'm sure we'll be back at C2C next spring.
I definitely do OP.
Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, bit of a Hank Williams, Carter Family, Waylon Jennings and a few more...
Nothing modern though... Mainstream stuff is too syrupy and derivative.
My other half is big into it ever since we we went to Nashville couple years back. Randomly she also started watching Nashville only to find one of her old school friends is one of the lead actresses.
I’ve been dragged to c2c twice and various other gigs. As a metal fan I’d prob never admit it but a couple shows were good. Zak brown band and brothers osbourne spring to mind
Blaze Biopic out soon..has anyone mentioned Blaze Foley here so far, wrote some great songs.

I like a lot of the highwaymen stuff, I liked a lot of Neil young acoustic stuff which introduced me to a bit of willie nelson, and from there, Johnny cash, etc. Then merle haggard and George Jones
I really love willie nelson and emmy lou Harris in this, not really county I suppose, there is a definite Spanish /Mexican vibe to it but a great song..
And I just love this
And this... I'll stop posting videos now, lol!
I've been to Opryland in Nashville! (now closed). My friend from South Dakota had to explain who everyone was but it was fun. Have also seen the Oakridge Boys live at the Wayne County Fair, just before the tractor pull started.
The local radio show played this every Saturday night:

I think the music resonated with the peoples it often reflected their situation more than the Beetles or the Stones singing songs from and about city life. In a similar way to when Morrissey sang Panic " the music you play says nothing to me about my life" .
When I met my wife her mum was a country music DJ and often traveled to the states to interview C&W music artists.There are still a few pictures of her interviewing Johnny Cash and Chris Kristofferson in the hall. We found an old recording of interviewing Johnny Cash and June Carter, really interesting to hear.
I dont think I really appreciated a lot of the music at the time, as it seemed too old to a younger me, although Johnny often gets played these days.
Recently heard this guy on Bob harries` TV show and really enjoyed the performance and song UK country perhaps....
Robert Vincent Demons
Don't think I really get country but I do like a bit of Bright Eyes - do they count ?

3 pages and no Tay Tay?
Hellyeah are good for some country metal, sweary though
Casey Musgrave's first two albums were fantastic, no so keen on the latest.
