Hello everybody. I haven't posted on here in quite awhile. Well I am desperately seeking all kinds of new music so I am posting a thread in each genre asking for your recommendations! Country is a very big thing now a days but I am not looking for that pop country. Alternative Country would be ideal. I know about folk/ rock like 60's folk bands but I would like to broaden that knowledge as well. Also I find world music very intriguing because I love learning about other cultures. Please recommend your favorites. Thank you!
Sometimes I lay under the moon and thank God I'm breathing.
And I pray "Don't take me soon "cause I am here for a reason"
Sometimes in my tears drown but I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds, I know someday, it'll all turn around.

Err I am all too (unfortunately) familiar with Taylor Swift. No offense intended, just not really a fan. I was looking for more traditional country but thank you!

each tot heir own mate,no offence taken...
try Kasey Chambers...Aussie girl,released around eight or nine albums now, mostly traditional country with a splash of Bluegrass thrown in every now and then, very talented gal IMO...
also, try Neil Young's "prarie wind" and "harvest moon" albums, classic folky Mr.Young from the1990s/2000s
