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

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.

Kinda sorta. They really write U2 lite pop tunes though, just with more "folk" instrumentation. If you want music similar to Mumford, Avett, Lumineers, etc. but much much better I'd try Trampled by Turtles or Old Crow Medicine Show.

But thank you for those!

It's all good; personally I hate trying to squeeze things into certain genres/microgenres so I completely understand.

These have some great stuff on them and everyone should listen.

Holy shit, here's something I never thought I'd see on this site! Blue Mountain are great. I used to live ~15 min from the town they're named after up in northern MS haha

For sure. Saw them at Doubledecker Fest up in Oxford ages ago. I adore this song:

Honestly I don't recall. I mean yeah all three of the genres in the title definitely should have their own thread but I'm not sure it's justified on this site I'm afraid. Not enough interest, particularly in the music forum.
