Townes Van Zandt |
|
Cocaine Blues |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
A solid, but uninspired version of this WWI-era folk tune from alt-country's great poet-laureate.
|
Lila McCann |
|
Come A Little Closer |
LiquidAudio |
|
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.
|
The Riptones |
|
Crazy Charlie |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country, Rock |
Chicago's premier roots-rock combo serves up a twangy, warm-hearted study of a toupee-wearin', goat-draggin' weirdo.
|
The Backsliders |
|
Cross Your Heart (Live) |
WinMedia |
|
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.
|
The Carter Family |
|
Diamonds In The Rough |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
Country music's First Family take us to church with a rough-hewn diamond of gospel glory.

Buddy Miller |
|
Does My Ring Burn Your Finger |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
An Alt-Country hero serves up a chilling end-of-the-realtionship lament. And you thought Marilyn Manson was scary!
|
Lucinda Williams |
|
Essence |
LiquidAudio |
|
Alt-Country |
Tripped-out stalker anthem is sultry and swampy; kind of demented and a little scary. Lucinda wants your “essence,” man. I'd give it up, if I were you.
|
Bad Livers |
|
Farther Along |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
Their livers may be bad, but their soft, easy goin’ acoustic pickin’ is, as Andy Griffith would say, “Goooooood.”
|
Wayne Hancock |
|
Flat Land Boogie |
WinMedia |
|
Alt-Country |
"Wayne The Train" lets his band take center-stage for this modern "boogiebilly" classic. Sounds like 1954 all over again!
|
Uncle Kracker |
|
Follow Me |
LiquidAudio |
|
Alt-Country |
Here's a nice little slice of country twang dipped in chunky hip-hop beats from Uncle Kracker. Not a bad first-at-bat from the Kid Rock deputy and card-carrying white-trasher. Check it out if you're feeling like somethin' down home.
