    I've only recently gotten to really like Justin Townes Earle as well — man he was good. So sad.

    Some country/Americana realm stuff that I regularly go to:

    Tyler Childers
    Tyler Ramsey (loaded with Tylers!)
    Hiss Golden Messenger
    Dylan Leblanc
    Cut Worms
    Paul Cauthen

    And yes, most of what's out there is shit. I feel like country is the most nearly ruined by mainstream variety of music, pretty much.

      I also recently discovered JTE for myself. The news of his death pointed me in his direction and I couldn’t believe what I had been missing.  Apparently he frequented the Imogene + Willie shop in Nashville and was good friends with them. They posted about him dropping by to hang out and talk about clothes on IG when he died.

        Ah yeah! I've seen him in their pics over the years along with a couple other musicians (Butch Walker is the main one I can remember at the moment).

          Unrelated musically but nonetheless great, a really awesome post punk / new wave-y album from last year that I was just reminded of:

            Yes @Matt he is excellent! We're lucky to have what I believe to be a golden age of such artists. I believe we had that in the seventies with outlaw country too. Too many great contemporary country artists to name– @popvulture just named a bunch of great ones. Did we get Colter Wall yet?

            Or how about Dave Cobb's cousin Brent? Caught his band in a shoebox-sized venue, helluva show.

            These artists still usually don't probably get a Florida Georgia Line (ick) level of recognition, but there are the occasional chart-toppers… I really was astounded when Jason Isbell did so. As long as they can be successful on their own terms and satisfied with their careers, I don't much care about that or industry awards though.

            And I agree with the sentiments about the talent and tragedy of Justin Townes Earle, Steve Earle's son, named for the great Townes van Zant (had our daughter come out male, she would have carried the middle name Townes too).

            Think it, be it.

              Townes would be a fine name for a girl.  I’ve seen Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson as well as Willie, Neko Case, Band of Horses, Tyler Ramsey, and all other manner of county and countryish artists. They always bring it live.

                Seen all of them but Neko and Ramsey and can’t disagree. Another one I love is Larry McMurtry’s son James McMurtry. A great sardonic wit, brilliant social commentary, and amazing compositions. Edited to add him and his guitar (he's terrific with his band and easy to catch in Austin and does tour as well):

                Think it, be it.

                  @popvulture are you familiar with scott hirsch? If not, give a listen. He’s a founding member of hiss golden messenger and has a new album coming out later this year. jj cale vibe.

                  i’ve been spinning the new hiss record a lot. lateness of dancers is my favorite album but they’re all very good.

                  we’re trying our best

                      @Kirk Lateness of Dancers is my fave too! Also like Haw a lot (and all of them, really).

                      I’ve checked out Scott Hirsch’s stuff just a little and dug it, should def give it a deeper listen. He was playing bass with em one of the last couple times I saw Hiss. Love that band.

                            I thought I would dip my toe in the water here. First something new from OTPMD (and they don't even mention spending too much on IH  ;)):

                            And so you don't end up feeling too guilty something (coincidentally also from Switzerland) that always make me happy. Who hasn't wondered what would happen if a hyena walked into a guitar shop?

                              I know I’m old but I got high and watched Lil Nas X on SNL last night and now I’m hooked.

                                Since y'all mentioned Athens I will take the opportunity to give a shout out to my BIL's band The Futurebirds. Hope ya dig em!!

                                That's so funny. One of my friends is in with them and I think has shot some videos. I recorded one of their shows a few years ago and posted it on my silly little blog I contribute to: https://www.nyctaper.com/2015/12/futurebirds-november-12-2015-bowery-ballroom/

                                        Awesome! Glad you like it. It's a labor of love. Hopefully now that live music is coming back we should have stuff to post more often.
