    Living in Nashville, the difficult part is wading through all the people using the country sound as a prop for bad pop music, and those who know and tap into the true soul of what country is meant to be.

    I don't listen to a lot of country but I do love Willie and I like the classic stuff. I really enjoyed Joshua Hedley's album Mr. Jukebox from last year. An unapologetic classic country/Marty Robbins-ish sound that was one of my faves of 2018.

    A lot of non-traditional country fans & hipsters really seem to like Sturgill Simpson. I can't get into his affected voice which at times sounds like someone singing mock opera but I do like his song Welcome to Earth.

    Listening to Red Headed Stranger atm. Love the sound of his guitar. I can hear a bit of the Django influence.

    Watch Sturgill's Tiny Desk if you want to see what he's about. The dude is genuine and very talented. There's a reason the country music industry despises him.

    Margo Price is also great. Old school vocals with modern themes.

    My dad was in country radio from the late 60's to the early 2000's, so I grew up with country music. Not a fan, but this series is enjoyable as all get out.

    I seem to be most drawn to TX & Bakersfield Honky Tonk, amongst other variants, just not a fan of the Nashville sound as described in the doc.. Eyes red and leaking with Vince Gill's Go Rest High On That Mountain.

    And some of those old RCA and Decca songs from the 60's are some amazing sounding recordings.

    I don't have time to watch TV these days, but I'll add it to my queue. I'm not generally a fan of country, but there are some nuggets that I love. I highly recommend the Revisionist History podcast episode on Bobby Braddock, "The King of Tears". Great stuff.
