I'm gettin bored of my current music library and can't find any "new" music to add. I need some suggestions. I'm a major country fan and I'll listen to pretty much all country but the pop-like crap like rascal flatts and sugarland. I kinda like rock too, more of the classic rock though. Let the suggestions begin...

 

Some great classics on the soundtrack of American Grafitti (great movie too).

 

Have you tried Sirrus/XM satellite radio or even Directv's radio line up? They have numerous country and rock channels that may have what you're looking for.

 

Try look ing up music by blackfoot I thinj you will like that

 

Jim Croce
REO Speedwagon
Creedence Clearwater Revival
John Foggerty
Blackwater Outlaws
Trailer Choir
Randy Travis
Travis Tritt
Doug Stone
Dwight Yoakam
Brookes & Dunn
David Allan Coe
Steve Earles
Chris Knight

 

I can disagree with none of these choices.

Right now I'm on a Led Zeppelin kick. That seems to be all I'm listening to lately and pretty much every song they have ever done is awesome. IMO.

 

I can 'deal' with Rascal Flatts, and I really enjoy Sugarland.

Well, not necessarily listening to Sugarland. . . . Jennifer Nettles is VERY easy on the eyes.

Hey!! I'm an old fart. . . . cut me some slack.

 

I HATE and distaste this new "Pop" country.....Seems anyone with a cute face, a tiny butt an some hooters can play country.....

Look back 50 years ago.....Country was based on TALENT, and VOCALS.....Because there wasn't MTV crap to sell the sex....JMO

And rock an roll has went to hell in a hand basket with first class seats and peanuts.....Seems everyone wants the LOOK, but don't have the grit in their tiny little feminine crawls to actually DO the whole Sex, Drugs an R&R.........Take 3 bottles of barbituates, and drink a 1/5 of vodka an call me in the morning....After you get your stomache pumped of course....

 

All great singers! I found a few songs to get, thanks.

Those are my thoughts EXACTLY! There are almost no actual country singers left.

 

Anything and everything that is G'n'R from late eighties to early mid nineties. Other then the worst song patience, can't stand that one.

 

I'm not a big country fan too much.
Do like Zack Brown.

Rock:
Soundgarden
Tool
Incubus
Rage Against the Machine
Nickleback
Jackyl
Primus

 

on top of some great suggestions others have made, here are some that i have been listening to alot lately. alot of it pushes the limits of country, but more in the rock direction than the pop direction.

one of my favorite new artist is Brantley Gilbert, has two albums that are worth thier weight in gold. sings country that ranges from serenading to country-rock. jason aldeans "my kind of party" was originally brantley gilberts (he writes his own, a plus in my book), but he just couldn't do it the same (small change in the lyrics too)

eric church is more known, but again, writes his own and its real country

jeff bates has a few songs where he sounds just like conway twitty, even covered one of conways songs.

Matt Kennon is another that writes his own. has only had one song released to radio (the call, a real tear jerker) he has that whiskey burned kinda gravelly voice that can tear clear down to your soul. personal favorites: "ride with me" and "the man I used to be".

and for a more traditional country artist check out Bobby Pinson. I really like his song "ford fairlane"

 

Yeah, he took out the part that mentioned a ford tailgate in it!

 

Steve Wariner - keeps me calm, keeps me from beating the snot out of people on the highway.
