Americana / alt.country thread

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Many of you who are into this type of music may know Old Crow Medicone Show. This song isn't as well known, I don't think but I love it.



This one is more well known. I love it too.

Gillian Welch makes an appearance in that video.

When discussing Jason Isbell the other day someone said we need an Americana / alt.country thread. So, here we go.

To kick things off with a niche suggestion, do we have any fans of Slaid Cleaves here? I bought his 'Wishbones' album years ago, and am just digging through the rest of his discography. His lyrical commentary on the plight of the blue collar worker and the demise of the American working class is right up there with Springsteen and Johnny Cash IMO.

Never heard of the guy, but I like the cut of his jib.
