I haven't written anything I think is good in a long time; and all of my old experimental music pretty much sucks.

Will give your tunes a listen, though. Avoid mine if you get the chance.

Oh, also, I'm in a band. Forgot to mention that in the original post.

I'm in a band and we have an EP out and it's free if you want it

True. I could definitely see them as alt-country.

Ah, well I should be more specific. I LOVE Alison Kraus and everything she's ever been involved in (though I consider her more bluegrass. Guess it's really just semantics). I saw her live with Robert Plant and it was incredible.

As for the others, I am a fan of Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams. I also like Zac Brown Band (they sound like older country to me) and Loretta Lynn, especially that album she did with Jack White producing. Heck, I even like a little Vince Gil here and there (dude's a great guitarist).

Essentially, I'm not a fan of the every-song-is-about-beer-and-tractors type country. The Toby Keith/Trace Adkins/Eric Church type.

Also, side note: would you classify Wilco as country? Never thought of them before like that.

Only Wilco's first few albums; they incorporated a lot more indie rock aesthetic later and moved away from their alternative country roots.

Quoting just so this isn't buried. This is highly recommended to most anyone.

EDIT: you could also consider it Cowpunk.

What I meant was I have to many thoughts about rock in my head that all thoughts of country are blocked out... Anyway, I'll try to find a Nelson album on YT tomorrow. I may not have time today.

Essentially. What the band Alabama started is basically what I can't really get into. The Toby Keith's, the Keith Urban's, the Eric Church's. Not that I have something against them, I've just never really been able to get into the music. I like older country, I'm a big fan of Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, and I love bluegrass too, but I've never been able to get into the pop country.

And thanks for the welcome by the way!

I assume you mean the GAC/CMT pop-country trend that's been circulating since the late 1980s? I think I could help you with modern country if your up for it.

Also welcome to this wonderful place, I'm fairly new as well!
