/r/CountryMusic
A sub about (mostly) independent country music - the good stuff you don't hear on mainstream radio.
Join us for Honky Tonk Saturday Night, Bakersfield Soundday, Blue(s,grass) Monday, and even for some pop country, alt-country, and undefinable country. Stay for posts about country music history, interviews, event announcements, and more.
Share your favorite songs and find some new favorite artists. Grab a seat at the bar, there's a good band playing!
RULES
No bigotry: This includes, but is not limited to, racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.
No NSFW images/videos
No memes or image macros
Link directly to the music, and use the correct title format: i.e. no screenshots of you listening to a song. Use this title format: Artist - Title. Additional song info (like 'Live' or 'Acoustic' or a performance source) can be included in parentheses or brackets after the title. Anything else you want to say can go in a comment after the post is submitted.
No spam: Spam includes using clickbait titles and repeatedly posting/commenting about an artist, account, website, or playlist, whether you are the artist/owner or not. If your post history is nothing but shilling for someone, that is considered spam, not meaningful contributions to the sub.
Playlists and self-promotion: Posting playlists, and/or music self-promo, can be posted up to twice a month. Self-promo must be tagged as such if it is a post submission. Promoting your own podcasts/articles/review videos is welcome, but again, please tag it. Note that sneaking your own material into playlists that you post is considered self-promo leaning on spam.

Trying to find a song
I'm trying to find a country song i heard. It talks about how when a couple breaks up, the guy goes to a bar and hooks up to get the ex off his mind while the girl stays home and does her thing. Anyone know what some this might be?

Bryan Sutton Hurricane Helene fundraiser
This week on my podcast I’m joined by bluegrass legend Bryan Sutton for a very special episode to benefit the IBMA Trust Fund and help people suffering the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
We talk about growing up in Asheville and how important that community was to Bryan’s musical development; about his relationship with Doc Watson and the time he got to spend with him; about how he goes about learning complex music and his thoughts on practice; why learning more than one instrument is a good thing...and his admiration for Metallica’s James Hetfield. We cover a lot of ground!
All the proceeds from this episode will go to the IBMA Trust Fund so please do donate what you can via the GoFundMe link:

Another Blue Monday submission for yet another Tulsa, OK band! This is the Johnny Mullenax Band playing In The Gravel Yard at their Bluegrass Brunch residency at Mercury Lounge Tulsa! They play such an amazing blend of bluegrass, country blues, red dirt, country rock, jazz, funk, etc. Truly amazing.

For Blue Monday, I wanna share with you a great artist from the Tulsa, OK area by the name of Tom Pevear. He plays a lot of old folk / bluegrass stuff, digging deep to play cuts that not many know about. Please enjoy this as much as I have!

Drive (for Daddy Gene) - Abridged version?
Planning to use this Alan Jackson song for my father-daughter dance next month at my wedding. Anyone have an abridged version, and/or one that speaks from a girl’s perspective?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Blue Monday! Bluegrass, country blues, and bluesy country
... Mondays around here might also include old time music and or rockabilly. Maybe even songs about blue, the color, or blue, the emotion...
Please make separate standalone posts for songs you want to share!
