FAQ
Q: Who is considered classic country for this sub?
A: Anybody before 1990. The reason for the is the 90's started a fundamental shift that is still affecting country music today.
If you do want to share some 90's country music, I suggest /r/90sCountry.
Q: How about new songs from classic artists?
A: They may be posted, but will be loosely moderated.
Q: How about new country artists with a classic sound (Sturgill Simpson, Luke Bell, Cody Jinks, ect...)?
A: No. If you do want to talk about new classics, I suggest either /r/NeoTraditionalCountry or /r/UndergroundCountry.

I believe I know most of them. All except one or two words. Any help?
what is actually the meaning of the phrase "sold american" from kinky friedman's song?
I got into his music a few months ago, I think he has a great voice and sings heartfelt songs. My favorite from him has to be "More and More", especially now that I just went through a breakup.
But yeah I think he documented his real life experiences with alcoholism. I can tell with songs like "There Stands the Glass" and "Here I Am Drunk Again". What do you think of him?
I'm getting ready to make a series of bootleg cd compilations featuring obscure, quirky, or strange tracks. 'Kountry Moste Qurios'.
Does anyone have anything they think would fit? (I realize some of these are a bit mainstream, but later volumes will have deeper cuts and yet-unknown artists from my collection)
I'd be particularly interested in songs from women, which my list is lacking.
