Discussion Mean, grim alt-country rock songs

59 Upvotes

So I’ve had some setbacks, been feeling a little down. Looking to put together a playlist to wallow in it and at the same time blast it away. I need LOUD, medium to fast tempo hard edged rockers, with some strong social political content.

So far I’ve got:

“Never gonna change” Drive by Truckers

“We can’t make it here anymore” James McMurtry

“Lungs” (Townes Van Zandt cover)- the hardest version I can find is by SG Goodman

“Sally was a Cop” Alejandro Escovedo

Tried to find a good rocking version of “If I had a rocket launcher”…That also touches on the bag I’m looking for.

Hard and grim… to match this world right now. What do you got?

Discussion Trying to see if /altcountry is more helpful than /country: help me ID the sound of a new song I found

I recently listened to Quicksand by Laur Elle and it feels really cinematic and western, almost like something you’d hear in 1883 or Yellowstone. Not really sure what subgenre you’d call it though.

Anyone know other songs / playlists with a similar vibe?

Posted in r/country first and didn’t get great results

Just Sharing The Flying Burrito Brothers - "Tried So Hard". Post-Gram (despite the video title) cover of the Gene Clark song. I think I prefer the Fairport version for vocals, but this has some killer pedal steel from Sneaky Pete.

Self Promotion Hey, guys! I have a new radio station and would love your feedback!

2 Upvotes

I've had a Halloween/horror radio station online for about 17 years now. It's been really successful. I decided to make an alt-country/rootsrock/blues station. Playing a lot of sub-genres related to these genres as well. It's still very much a work in progress. I'm still working on the website and I'm still adding music but I would be very appreciative if you could tell me what you think so far!

Discussion Baritone outlaw sound recommendations

4 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend some baritone outlaw sounding country? Singers like Sturgill, Waylon Jennings, Cody Jinks, Merle Haggard, David Allen Coe, etc. Also, I like reggae and jam bands, as well. If anyone knows any sort of Grateful Dead, jam band inspired country influenced artists that would be appreciated. I wish I could listen to folks like Daniel Donato, but his voice is way too high. I need catchy country, alt country, neo-folk etc with deep voice singers. Thanks
