Came out in 1981, but George Strait's first album isn't half bad. And this is coming from someone who despises 99% of country music

Two from the top of my head.

Who else here /laugh/ at non-southern plebs who try to /country/ when they move to the south?

Townes Van Zandt. Top tier songwriter and poet. Like all country of the good variety, full of darkness and sorrow.

Some of his most famous songs:

If it sounds good to you, check out the albums Our Mother the Mountain, Flyin' Shoes and S/T. Really good stuff.

I don't care what anyone says, this is my favorite country song ever.

Little big town - better man
Luke Bryan - fast
Josh Turner - hometown girl

Those three are probably my favorite ones on the radio now.

samefag, i think james taylors earlier shit is pretty decent and much better than the God Bless America/Shoulda Treated You Right/Beer and God/Girl in Pants Painted Blue/Wish I Knew You Before You Got Married bullshit that fills country content these days.

Johnny Cash is the only country artist I can listen to and not cringe.

I know you asked for 1930-1960, but there's non cringe country that's pretty mainstream today such as Chris Stapleton's last album. And then of course you have Casey Musgraves, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Eric Church, Brad Paisley (he's mainly tongue in cheek but if that gets annoying just listen to his instrumental album Play), and Trace Adkins but I don't think he's as popular as he used to be.

Not from that era, but I've been listening to Nikki Lane a lot lately. She just dropped a new album and kicked off a tour. Great live shows.

I mean you could simplify any genre to just a few surface level themes. But I think you can good music about anything if you're creative enough
