What country music would you recommend to someone who wants to listen to some country that isn’t bro/truck country? I know not all country music is Like That but unfortunately at the moment that’s most of my experience with the genre and I want to broaden my horizons. Maybe some good gothic country or bluegrass suggestions?
(I am, of course, already familiar with Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. Beyond that feel free to suggest even extremely obvious choices)
Some of the classics beyond cash and dolly, I’ll exclude the more countrypolitan stuff, these are mostly more honky tonk, also some modern people
Hank williams (all three of 'em) merle haggard, willy nelson, waylon jennings, kris Kristofferson, Buck Owens, wayne hancock, Orville peck, marty robbins, nick shoulders
Bluegrass earl scruggs, osborne brothers, ricky skaggs, billy strings
Gothic? Bridge City sinners, rhiannon Giddens, Amigo the Devil, Shawn James
