Thanks!

To be clear: I like classic country a lot. I don't like overly slick and generic and simplistic modern country I often hear. I've definitely come across good modern country acts but they usually aren't also the popular country radio stars. Looking forward to diving in here.

Malcolm Holcombe's new album flew under the radar but was one of my favorite country releases of the year

At the risk of pedantry, I don't see how this thread is different from the rolling country threads...? We always discuss and recommend good shit in it.
