You named almost all of my favorites.
So if'n you don't mind, Im gonna add a few so don't forget: Old Crow Medicine Show, Kyle Park, Reckless Kelly, Micky and the Motorcars, Cory Morrow, Max Stalling, Brandon Rhyder, and this new little band Whiskey Meyers has been owning me lately.

I must say that Whiskey Meyers put on one helluva show at Hurricaine Harry's here in College Station in November! I bought their CD and its kind of crude. I think the next one will be better. They were WAY better live. Check them out!

I have a funny story about good ol Stoney Larue. I used to like him but my perspective has changed since.

Eli Young Band- Mike Eli graduated from my high school two years ahead of me. They are heading in the direction of Nashville. (I grew up off highway 249... listen to the first verse of "always the love songs") They're early stuff was good. CD: Live at the Jolly Fox in Huntsville,TX was probably the best.

Don't know why Ragweed keeps putting out mediocre stuff lately? They used to be my favorite in high school but now...I dunno.

Ray Wylie Hubbard- You aint no kinda Texan unless you know Choctaw Bingo, word for word by memory!

Some of it is more southern rock than country, in my opinion but who's really counting? Its tons better than the **** on the radio. I'm thankful I live in a hick town with several radio stations that stray from playing the mainstream country. **** "Nashville"...It ain't what it used to be.

 

^^^ all those are good...
i listen to a local country station that plays alot of local bands or small bands that are trying to make it big! oh another favorite is Corey Smith! nothing like some good ol country hahaha

 

that guys such a tool in real life.

 

hahaha i know david! but have you been to one of his concerts?! you should... TRUST ME

 

If I'm listening to the radio, it's usually this station. http://kayo.sixradiosites.com/

Click on the 'listen live', this is the music we grew up listening to.

 

Same here! I went home to my parents house over Christmas break and I started looking through all my old CDs that I made and its amazing how different 'county' music is now-a-days.

And whats funny is the younger generation at all the county fairs think their country because they listen to the new pop country.

 

Ragweed's new stuff and their old stuff are world's apart. I encourage you to listen to their old stuff such as Live and Loud at the Wormy Dog (the old one in Stillwater).

Hank III isn't country, at all. That's somebody who is trying to capitalize on the success of previous family members and he's ruining the name, IMO. However, he does sound like Sr. the most. What a waste.

Choctaw Bingo is a James McMurty song although Ray Wylie does cover it. It's actually a pretty geographically correct song about Oklahoma since McMurtry wrote it while basically traveling through Oklahoma.

 

Listening to Jango.com and I have a ton of old country in the playlist and they play Hank III. Song was called Punch Fight **** (P.F.F.) LOL AWESOME!

I can listen to it all (coutnry), but much prefer old cowboy country. I actually like a **** ton of different music. Club/dance, NIN (listening right now), old/new rock, a ton of stuff. Sure, some of it is plain crap and shallow. I mean, what the fug is up with all the Jimmy Buffet copy cats these days. If I hear another "country singer" singing about the islands I am going to poke my ear drums out. Except for Blake Shelton...Some beach. That's funny.

 

WOW!!! Pandora here I come. I've never heard of about 98% of the bands/singers you all listed.

 

double post ftw!
