So I've always been a house music person in recent years but grew up on garage but also love George Micheal, Elton John - all the people my parents played when young.
Anyway, have recently re-discovered Alanis Morrisette Jagged Little Pill and am going to her concert this year. I guess she is country? Angry country? No idea as I'm not a music buff. But whatever, I love Jagged Little Pill and my husband is slowly getting used to her being played in the house. Then I watched A Star is Born last night with my bestie. Plus every time I see a US film with those old country bars and a country singer in, I love it!
I need to discover some good country music. I've googled and you tubed but it keeps coming up with almost r'nb style videos and beats.
I am new to country genre but love the feeling of it...... what can I listen to?!

Some days, I just love country music and use Absolute Country radio to get ideas of who I like to listen to. Or ask Amazon prime to do a playlist. If I am feeling the need for something a bit edgier, I like Yelawolf's earlier country style.

Wonderful suggestions thank you! I may also investigate alt rock too. Looking forward to having something apart from house and my husbands old school rnb to listen to. Feeling ready for a new music phase!

I'm a similar age! I'm not sure how I discovered it but it's almost all I listen to now and really enjoy it
My whole music on my phone is like this now

My favourite genres are country and rock. Nothing better.

I love Ward Thomas, The Wandering Hearts (who I discovered when they supported Ward Thomas) and Demi Marriner (who I discovered when she supported The Wandering Hearts)

I went to see Luke Combs in Glasgow on Friday - amazing! Was worth the six hour round trip to see him, hoping he does a tour next year.

Nathaniel Rateliffe and the Night Sweats - Never Get Old is a good song to start with
Lukas Nelson (son of Willie) - Just outside of Austin is a lovely song
The Avett Brothers - I and Love and you
Chris Stapleton - Tennessee whiskey

I'm Texan and I personally love the King of Texas Country music, George Strait and the sophisticated country swing of Lyle Lovett (he was the guy briefly married to Julia Roberts).

I am partial to Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Charlie Pride, Gary P Nunn.

Being Texan and from "the border", my favorite is Tejano which has elements of country with a bit more flavor. My favorite song of the genre is the blues-inspired ballad, "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" by Freddie Fender.

Enjoy your discovery of music.
