Sturgill was on the WTF Podcast a few months ago and said that Isbell (or at least his management) submitted his album to the CMAs but they rejected it. Says a lot about an industry where an artist has the #1 album on the BILLBOARD COUNTRY CHARTS but they won't even look at him.

Sturgill Simpson was just nominated for two Grammys, Best Country album and Album of the Year, after being entirely snubbed by the CMAs. The CMAs have never looked more out of touch.

Same for Jason Isbell. I believe I remember Stugil saying on the WTF podcast that Jason submitted his album to the CMAs but they rejected it. This was when Something More Than Free was the #1 Country record on Billboard.

I'm a huge Buck Owens fan. The magic of his early stuff is Don Rich, who sadly passed away in 1974.

The Buckaroos did an entire album of instrumentals and it is worth tracking down. Also look up a song called Buckaroo which is the intro they are playing here

It reminds me a lot of 'I Feel Fine' by the Beatles. Obviously the crossover occured directly with the cover of 'Act Naturally.' I've always been enamored by that small period in the mid-Sixties where pop and rock guitarists took as many cues from country as they did blues. Using chords and double stops to solo, only sparingly reverting to single note lines.

And then Ray Charles comes along and starts recording songs by Eddie Arnold, George Jones and Buck Owens.

There was a recent Carter Family documentary that mentioned how Mother Maybelle wanted to record a cover of One Toke Over The Line until they told her what it actually meant.

plz dont pull out posted:

Somehow I'd gone my whole life without George Jones ever being on my radar. Seeing as how he has about a million albums listed on Spotify, could you guys tell me the essentials to get started and what else to check out after I get through those?

I Am What I Am because it leads off with the song he's most famous for (and also one of the best country songs ever). This was also a bit of a comeback album for him. George didn't really develop is style until around the mid 60s and got better when he married and starting singing duets with Tammy Wynette.

I would just try the Best Of stuff and see what you like. IMHO his best albums are in the 90s but most fell under the radar because of Garth loving Brooks an Shania Twain.

One of my favorite songs I love to hear George sing is the duet with Patty Loveless. No one. NO one can harmonize or "slide" a note like George.

The album he and Merle Haggard made in '06 is a great one.

The saddest thing I have seen or heard was during Jones' televised wake. Vince Gill and Patty Loveless came out to tell a few stories and Sang Go Rest High On That Mountain. Vince is doing everything he can to keep it together but when he sings the line, "Son, your work on Earth is done" he completely loses it and starts ugly crying right there on stage.

I'm actively looking for music like this (I actually posted about Tyler earlier), but I'm having difficulty finding it. Might I suggest Panopticon's Tamarack Gold Returns, it is my favorite laid-back country-ish instrumental so far. There's also good playlist on Spotify called "Zen: Indie Folk for Focus" and it's pretty much filled with things that sound kinda like those artists. John Fahey mentioned earlier is also very good, and kinda fits with what's mentioned, but the style is very different.

If anyone has any more recommendations I'm all ears, as a prog-metal head, these days, I'm growing to like folkier music thanks to these guys. I actually listened to Johnny Cash's (I know, thread title) At Folsom Prison for the first time yesterday and I must say I had an awesome time. It's such a fun album, I need to watch the Walk the Line movie.

You want something mellow or just instrumental? Tommy Emmanuel might be the best guitarist around right now.

Is there any good psychedelic country music? Not psychedelic folk, I know about that stuff. I'm looking for something that sounds like it should be sitar but is really a zither. Ideally from the 60s or 70s, but I won't say no if it's modern, it's just more interesting to me if it came out back when country music was seemingly (not really) less experimental. Somehow I feel like it's going to be Jesus music but that's alright with me.

I don't know if you are looking for an intro or more obscure groups.

The Flying Burrito Brothers which should then lead you to Gram Parsons.
Buffalo Springfield,
Crosby Still and Nash
Grateful Dead (well some songs and albums anyway)

Another request: are there any good streaming radio stations that play not-pop country? Spotify and Pandora are great, but my job has me writing for full days sometimes and I would like a station that has a human DJ so I can hear another voice now and again. I've given up listening to my local country station for obvious reasons.

Its been a while since I subscribed but Outlaw Country and Willie's Roadhouse on Sirus sound pretty good. I'm pretty sure you can sign up for a free trail and stream it for a few days.

Thank you for this. It's a little rough around the edges but he's just starting out. And anybody that can talk about Buck Owens and Don Roch for 3 hour is ok in my book.

The Buck Owens episodes were fantastic. drat that guy wrote some great songs

What always impressed me was how tight the Buckaroos were, no matter what the lineup was. The first two episodes of The Buck Owens show is on YouTube and its quite impressive that the band could play ALL the music for a the entire 30 minutes and not miss a thing.

If you look at performances after Don's passing in 1974, you can see that Buck is simply going through the motions. His eyes tell you everything you need to know.
