Not quite what I was looking for, but holy shit, Larry McMurtry has a son who makes music? As a lifelong north Texan I appreciate this, thanks for the rec.

I really love this album
shame they went to shit immediately afterwards

Completely forgot to mention that I love Silver Jews, too, and I've heard several others on this chart, so I guess I know more about alt-country than I thought. Still a useful chart, much appreciated.

Hank. Fucking. 3.

Three tracks into the "Magnolia Electric Co" album and I'm already loving this. Exactly what I was looking for.

I first listened to Hank III several years ago and didn't like it at all. Which songs/albums would you recommend?

>>72477498
Just realized I'm retarded and got Molina and Isbell mixed up

>>72477498
Any idea which albums you listened to? His first two are solid albums, but a little too traditional. Damn Right Rebel Proud through Rebel Within is pretty much considered his wheelhouse with the country/metal blend, but I’m partial to Ghost to a Ghost/Gutter Town just because he experiments with a bunch of different stuff I’d never heard before then. I will admit he’s very hard to get into

>>72477748
It was way too long ago to remember and it wasn't an album, it was a handful of YouTube links someone referred me to.

>>72476632
Nigger he plays shows all over Tx, on the reg

>>72477901
Yeah IDK how I've never heard him before, probably because nobody I know IRL is into rootsy music

>>72477748
Lovesick broke and drifting is his most "country" album but agree ghost to a ghost and straight to hell Are good and damn right and. rebel proud

>>72476453
You should check out Gary Stewart

Speaking of some of these guys in the last year I’ve seen Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and the Drive-By Truckers live, and holy shit those are all must-see shows if y’all get the chance

>>72476632
Levelland is his best song, especially if you're a west Texan like myself. His songs tell stories as well as his fathers novels.

>>72477341
Hank 3 is an absolute abortion. Fuck you

Any alt-country with noise rock/shoegaze influences that's not Mazzy Star or Mojave 3?

>>72478791
Sorry, I forgot good country is supposed to be super serious all the time

listen to this op

When did I ever imply good country is supposed to be super serious. I love a goofy country guy like Ray Wylie Hubbard.

But Hank 3's overtly trashy "screamo-core" country is total garbage. Enjoy hanging out with the Whites in West Virginia tonight you hillbilly
