not really, there's that "outlaw country" bullshit but that's just trust fund babies with cowboy hats on trying to sing about someone else's struggles
>>121774598How about guys who stopped being outlaws and became priests? Hehhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXHTem0klwc
>>121774475These niggas from Sweden nailed 50's/60's countryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9UTAEVDpcU&ab_channel=TomPage
>>121774475Johnny Cash sucks ass.
>>121774963>t. only heard Hurt
>>121774761Not bad, has that early Buck Owens sound.
>>121774975wrong
>>121774475>listens to johnny cash and hank nope, you're not going to like any post 80s slop, your best bet is later albums of good artists, see waylon's too dumb for new york city too ugly for L.A. for example
>>121774475Why bother with modern ones when there are enough old ones to listen for a lifetime?
>>121775280Not country per se, but there's plenty of good southern tinged folk and bluegrass which is really where Johnny and Hank come from in the first place. Not that bigger Nashville sound that developed over time.
>>121774598Townes van Zandt was a trust fund baby and he's one of the best to ever do it (his family cut him out though).
>>121775357I've always felt TVZ is country for people who don't really love country
>>121775357Was Townes considered outlaw? I think he has his own category of Burnout Country.
>>121774475Try Drake or Kendrick unc
CHARLEY CROCKETT
>>121775379You'd have to count Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Merle Haggard, Doc Watson, Guy Clark, David Allan Coe, and Steve Earle as people who don't really love country then, because they liked him a lot. He has appeal outside of country music, which annoys trve cvlt covntry "fans", but lots of country music has appeal outside of trve cvlt Coventry, because a lot of it is damned good.

>>121774598Outlaw Country was started by Billy Joe Shaver who was literally as country as it gets.

>>121775357Based. Townes was the greatest.
>>121781737He couldn't sing for shit
>>121774475>>121777978Willie Nelson just released another album this year - the title track is good haven't heard the rest yet. His voice always sounded like an old man so it really hasn't changed over the years.
>>121781948Okay well in that case go listen to Tom Jones and Tony Bennett you fucking pleb.
>>121774761Woah this is pretty good
