this and johnny cash - with his hot and blue guitar are the best country albums

Chet Atkins - Guitar Legend: The RCA Years

Don't be averse to compilations. A lot of the very best stuff was produced before the AOR format took hold

don't bother. I made a thread yesterday asking for recs in this vein and got nothing but a torrent of abuse from autistic chavs who seem inherently offended by the prospect of asking for music recs on a music discussion board. apparently the MD culture of 'sharing the love' that we've been pounded with by the degenerate media for the last 20+ years is nothing more than a phoney lie - in reality these are bitter, lonely individuals. they don't want to share anything - they wear their musical taste as a fashion accessory, little more than a trophy... a monument to their wasted years of subhuman behaviour. they are vile, nasty vindictive scum. oxygen thieves, every last one of them.

the reality of course is that they realise their genre is on surface deep - the reason they can't provide more obscure recs is that there is nothing else of worth to discover. just keep listening to the 10 or 20 albums from this joke genre that well-adjusted humans agree actually matter, safe in the knowledge that you are a vastly superior human with vastly superior tastes

This is a really weird list, why is Nashville Skyline not in "Country Rock," why is Turn! Turn! Turn! the Byrds album being highlighted and the same goes for Music from Big Pink, where's Wilco's AM?

>>72442364
embarrassing

>>72442384
I dunno man, its an old chart someone made, better than nothing i guess.

Also op, listen to all of hank Williams religious, stuff then when you are done with that listen to his grandson, who is a satanist, its pretty lol

American Beauty isn't really country rock. Workingman's Dead is though, and it's their best album

You're mostly gonna want to look at compilations if you're looking for pre-1960s stuff

>>72442235
It kind of loses its effect when there's an obvious snap cap in there.

Is being a heroin addict NOT fucked up?

If by classic country you mean pre-1950 I can compile a list of my favorites and some important singles for you.

>>72445290
No, drugs are good for the soul, man.

>>72445306
I'd love that


thanks in advance

>>72445290
sure it is, but it doesnt give you any depth of character. it was your choice to get addicted to start with. thats just being retarded.

john prine is decent, he's lyrically more clever than a fair share of other country artists

Hoyt Axton

This has heavy psych notes:

also more obvious stuff like live in the old quarter, gunfighter ballads and trail songs etc.

>>72445855
Yo, not this dudebut I just wanted to add, look into old-time music as well. The roots of country even before Jimmie Rodgers (look into him as well).

Eck Robertson is great, Skillet Lickers, Blind Alfred Reed, Burnett and Rutherford, Charlie Poole, Dixon Brothers, Kessinger Brothers.
Also look into Dale Wale Watson for some country in the tradition of Hank Williams. But this list is great.

>>72442364
dude wtf

i lost trad. country but i'm not spoonfeeding or bumping a stealth poppy thread.

>>72445518
I think you're missing the point here, nobody is debating Townes depth of character.
