So, my main music of choice is metal, but I am looking at indulging my non-metal alter-ego. Favourites include:
- Dire Straits
- Bruce Springsteen
- Neil Young
- Pink Floyd
- Allman Brothers
- Black Crowes
Any recent releases i might like?
Oooo I like that. Do you have much of their stuff?
Yeah, all the albums! My favourites are Decoration Day, The Dirty South and Go-Go Boots.
There are quite a few line-up changes over the years but the two main guys are the same, it means that there are sometimes 3 different singers/songwriters on an album which gives a nice mix.
Used to be a Cop is Patterson Hood, one of the main guys. Never Gonna Change is Jason Isbell who was with them for 3 albums.
Mike Cooley is the other main guy, here's one of his:
Great live too!
I've just downloaded/bought "The Dirty South". I know it doesn't fulfil the "newly released" part of my OP but I listened to a track and liked it. I'll check out their other stuff as well.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Felt bad for leaving out Shonna who plays bass on a few albums and does this awesome cover:
FYI it's all on Spotify. Anyway, enjoy exploring!
Thanks, but I don't do Spotify. I mainly buy stuff digitally off Amazon and store it on my NAS.
You heard War on drugs? Well recommended.
Yeah, saw the first post and was going to recommend The War on drugs
I have checked them out before and it didn't really do anything for me, although I may give them another try.

Good call Lifer: I'm enjoying "The Dirty South" at the moment.
Take your pick 😉
Oh, you said new music - never mind - I enjoyed finding them and listening to them anyway. Soz!
Hahaha don't feel bad, I appreciate your efforts. As it happens I was a huge Gary Moore fan, albeit mainly his rock period. I've never listened to Snowy White so I'll give that a whirl.
Cheers.
I'm actually listening to the STW Spotify playlist at the moment and by pure co-incidence, this came up - thought it might fit the bill....
(no idea how current it is)
The War on Drugs - but I see it's been mentioned above...maybe try the KEXP session,
The Hold Steady -
Titus Andronicus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08fqHr_KGPY - the vocal style puts some people off but if you're coming from metal you won't be fazed. Recommend the album 'The Monitor'.
If you like Springsteen/Young etc for the lyricism then you might also appreciate:
Frightened Rabbit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx7dF89a3z4
The National - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgRsYkKb1eI

My housemate loves War On Drugs, but to me they sound like a load of other people in each song, but don't sound like themselves, if you know what I mean. Don't mind listening to them but wouldn't choose to.

benjamin booker is worth a listen too. more hendrixy
Richard Thompson?
The new Sleater-Kinnney album is really good as is last years Atlas by Real Estate.

Aynsley Lister - this is the title track from his most recent album. Lots of stuff on YouTube to look out. Gets started about 1 minute in.
This may not fit the OP's requirements, but 6Music have been playing this band for a while and I love them to bits, bought the album just after release n'all:
