Originally posted by Frank TJ Mackey In my meaningless opinion, Ryan Adams is the king of alternative country. This guy is just loaded with talent. |
I think some of these might border on more of the Rockabilly side:
-- Mike Ness -- The Rev. Horton Heat -- Bad Livers -- Hank Williams III -- Supersuckers (they're more punk, though) -- Dusty 45s |
Freddy Jones Band has some great albums out. If you want to check them out, go with "Mile High Live", great live cd that gives a good overall impression of their work. I don't know if I consider them alt-country, but based on some of the other bands mentioned in this thread, I think they fit what we're talking about.
