Alt Country
SeanBateman:
I am a fan of this genre of Music. I have trouble encountering other people who are. Are any of you?
Praeserpium Machinarum:
only Will Oldham really, I have heard good things about The Willard Grant Conspiracy and the Handsome Family but I haven't really heard them...
StrikeThePostman:
Will Oldham is great; "I See a Darkness" is a fantastic record. I don't really know much of anything else about the genre though.
Gryff:
Definitely, but I always have trouble categorising stuff as alt-country... I tend to have a vague concept of alt-county that encompasses the folky stuff and rocky stuff on either side as well.
Some artists that I dig, whether they're technically alt-country or not: Ryan Adams, Kathleen Edwards, Bright Eyes (on "I'm Wide Awake..."), Sun Kil Moon, American Music Club, Loretta Lynn's latest album, the Pernice Brothers, Uncle Tupelo, Silver Jews.
Willard Grant Conspiracy is good too. And anything Will Oldham.
Inlander:
Big fan - of alt country, and of real country also (not Nash-trash). I am the proud owner of pretty much every album Will Oldham's put out, a couple of Silver Jews albums, both The Early Year and Massachusetts by the Scud Mountain Boys (as well as a coulpe of Pernice Brothers albums - but I wouldn't really call them alt country) - Uncle Tupelo, of course . . . Bunch of other stuff.
