Check out the Fervor EP and Lost And Found album by Jason And The Scorchers from the '80s, still sound great. Sort of country/rock/punk

I stumbled across this sad song by accident on iTunes a few months ago. I love the lyrics and the gently falling melody in minor keys:

Here's a short and boisterous instrumental. I think I found this on the Ride the Divide video about riding the great continental divide:

Start by standing in front of a mirror and having a word with yourself. Perhaps a dressing down, and maybe even a slap.

Then carry on with your life.

I started with Steve Earle. Check out Bob Harris on Thurs eve at 7pm. Just sensational. Country music is a very wide genre. Personally I think that Shania Twain and Grath Brooks is NOT true country music. Enjoy

Got those from an excellent compilation album called Country Funk 1969-1975.

It is rather good, isn't it 🙂
Hadn't heard it for years, and it gave me shivers too!
Had a thing about all those American bands at the time- Dream Syndicate, Green On Red, Rain Parade, Giant Sand etc.

Ben kweller is great if you want more modern stuff. Has to qualify as country music too as I always think of canoeing down a river whilst listening.
