I would quibble with the genres you listed in the title, but it's whatever.

I'm a big fan of TbT, Tallest Man and JTE so I'll check out those other two recs.

Give the fine fellow in my avatar a whirl:

And I'm assuming you're well aware of Mr. Ryan Adams, but just in case you aren't:

Isbell, Adams and Earle are actually all good friends too. Isbell and Adams toured together extensively last year, and Isbell regularly sits in with JTE live. Here's a couple of videos of them together:

And finally, you should definitely check out Night Beds. Debut album came out Tuesday, and they're on Fallon tonight:

Hahaha no, I do see the resemblance though. He also looks a lot like Matt Stafford, the Lions' QB:

No problem, always glad to spread the alt-country love! Also good news is Isbell has a new album coming out this year most likely, and Adams might and JTE probably will.

No I have not, song sounds cool, I'll check him out!

This thread is really amusing and coincidental now given that I was literally just hired by the site today partially to cover alt-country

Haha I think me and you are the only people on this site who are ga-ga over that record man. It's seriously so good though

[Neo Cassady]

Not sure why more people on here aren't talking about it. Seems like it'd be decently up some people's alleys.

Ah well. This dude is pretty legit, too (I think I first heard him from a poster here, but who knows): http://austincraigmusic.com/album/a-country-dark

Changed the thread title to more accurately reflect the music that's been posted in here so far. Hope you don't mind OP. Let's make this thread a thing guys, I'm on a mission to expose more people on this site to this style of music haha.
