Alt-Country |
A solid, but uninspired version of this WWI-era folk tune from alt-country's great poet-laureate.

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.

Very Friendly Lighthouses |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
Plaintive acoustic number plays like a private moment; to listen is almost to eavesdrop, as critics’ darling toys with quirky Cat Stevens-inspired vocals and crookedly stacked tracks of off-kilter instrumentation.

Closing In On The Fire |

|
Alt-Country |
The last real outlaw puts the pretenders in their place on this down-home, down 'n dirty rocker.

Burning Memories |

|
Alt-Country |
‘Ol Waylon slips a bit of Outlaw bite into this textbook honkytonk lament – when he let’s that trademark baritone rip, you better believe it burns, baby…

That's What Daddy Wants (Live) |

|
Alt-Country |
A kickback, swingin' take on one of Wayne's signature tunes -- old school flava that tastes great in 2000!

Flat Land Boogie |

|
Alt-Country |
"Wayne The Train" lets his band take center-stage for this modern "boogiebilly" classic. Sounds like 1954 all over again!

The T.B. Is Whipping Me |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
Twangy gee-tar, honky tonk harmonies, and skid-row story combine for a rootsy little number that would sound right at home following Hank Senior at the Ryman Auditorium.

Rainy Day Blues (feat. Jonny Lang) |
WinMedia |
|
Alt-Country |
A rainy day recording session with Uncle Willie starts off laid-back, then gets increasingly mellow and smoke-filled as the day goes on. Special guest Jonny Lang gets to light the bong!

There's a new sheriff in town! Strap on your dancin' shoes and hop into the saddle, Wild Wylie's country western ditties are the "Real McCoy."
