Alt-Country |
Remember when Mandy Moore came around after Britney and Christina? Well, this is just like that, but with a bland country twist. Pretty indistinguishable stuff.

Greg Brown |
|
Your Town Now |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
This gentle country/folk package comes wrapped in a rough-hewn vocal tied with wry lyrics and keen social commentary. The unpretentious Brown strums a jangly, uptempo melody that compliments his sensitive baritone with ease.

I'll Hold You in My Heart (If I Can't Hold You in My Arms) |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
Texas traditionalist Don Walser yodels his way through a dusty little ditty that will only appeal to hardcore country fans and the Tejano folk set. This slow-pokin’, horn-laden cactus cocktail is an acquired taste, best taken in small sips.

|
Alt-Country |
Soul music in its purest form from alt-country's "bad-girl-done-good." Praise the Lord, this girl can sing!

|
Alt-Country |
Good ol' noise from some good ol' boys who don't screw around with that country crossover crap. Slide right back into the past for a slice of downhome country twang served up by the specter of Hank Sr., himself.

A bittersweet piece of pure brilliance from the legendary country crooner. It's hard to imagine how such a bad ass, good ol' boy can write such beautiful stuff. Genius.

Someone To Talk With |

|
Alt-Country |
You know the cosmos is working correctly when Mark Olson & Victoria Williams find each other and end up working together. And it’s good for you, ‘cause that way you can avoid two grating, reedy voices all at once!

Alt-Country |
Rest easy – the first family of bluegrass draws upon a deep well of country soul in this beautiful and sorrowful updated version of an old standard.

This deeply felt duet between Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch evokes an authentic sense of time and place, as only the reigning queen of contemporary bluegrass can.
