my mom always told me there’s a song that makes her think of me - it’s not “i loved her first” but it’s about like remembering when i was born and loving me and then loving me after she’s gone… it’s sung by a man, it’s not “holes in the floor of heaven”, but it’s got a similar message and i cannot for the life of me remember the song. anyone have any guesses?? i know ill remember it when i see/hear it but i’ve been stuck on this for days

Are there any new, up and coming independent country artists out there? Would like to hear some names and check them out

Hey!

I’ve been listening to both At Folsom Prison and At San Quentin by Johnny Cash, and wondering what other albums should I listen to?

Preferably by him too, but would love to expand my taste and listen to some other artists from the same time period!

Lmk thanks!

I’m familiar with Ruston Kelly of course but I guess I’m just looking for similar artists. I’m not a huge country fan but lately it’s been growing on me.

I like the vibes of Zach Bryan and Ruston Kelly where it’s definitely country but not too country if that makes sense.

My local radio station is hosting a "secret star" acoustic jam. there will be three country music stars there but we don't know who they are until they come out. They give us 3 clues for each and I'm trying to figure out who it might be if someone can help!*Note: these stars are almost always up and coming artists so the chances of it being a big one like Luke Bryan is rare. past artists have been Chris Janson, Brett Young, Chase Rice, etc.*Star #1 Clues:

1. They have a song that is a couple years old but went viral on TikTok recently for a trend
2. They are not a pirate, olympian or miner but they feel like one since they struck gold in their career recently
3. They are an amazing songwriter but their favorite lyric can't be heard in any of their songs

Star #2 Clues:

1. When they were younger they had dreams of being a hitmaker of a different kind
2. If you see them out they might have you seeing double
3. Their Kids might love the movie "Sing"

Star #3 Clues:

1. They may be retired from the ranch to become a country star
2. They might say you don't need a lot of money to have a good time
3. They write songs for other artists and make you want to fly around in your truck

It’s not Last night by Morgan Wallen. But it has similar lyrics, something like “they tell me let go, but I can’t let her/you go”. It’s a slower song, and I don’t think it came out recently.

I played in rock bands with him my whole life, but now he's doing country music and his songs are amazing. His songs bridge between old and new, its perfect. Take a listen:

Kyle Garrett - Backseat Driver

Mine is I saw God today by George Straight

Hello! I just heard a very good country song I liked but I couldn’t use Shazam. I would really appreciate if you could help me find it.

I only remember one line of the song, I listened: "I won’t leave any country you land". It was repeated so many times throughout the song and it was also said at the end but I’m not sure it was exactly the phrase.

It could also be:

I won’t be any country you are

I won’t be any country you land

I won’t live any country you are

Or some other variation that sounds similar. Maybe I misheard and it’s will instead or won’t, county instead of country or something like that with another word.

It sounded pretty much like Luke Bryan. It could be him but I listened to most of his songs and I couldn’t find the one I’m looking for so maybe it’s somebody else with similar voice.

I would really appreciate your help in case you could recognize the song I’m talking about.

Toby Keith would be my pick

This one is for the Deepest country boys! where can i start my journey on country music?

Any artists id be silly to miss?

Thanks for the tips!! :)

Looking for recommendations. Thanks

My girlfriend is a MASSIVE Cody Johnson fan, and I wanted to ask her to prom with a poster that was cody johnson themed. I wanted to incorporate some of his songs on the poster. Does anybody have any ideas?

I realize this might be a strange questions. Nirvana was heavily inspired by the Beatles. At first glance you might not know it because Nirvana certainly doesnt sound like the beatles but its there.

Im curious of theres any country and western groups out there...maybe from that time period or today that use Nirvana or Kurt as an inspiration to an element of their sound.

Take someone like Hank III who figured out how to mesh Hank Sr and freaking Pantera.

Just wondering if theres any artists out there in the country world that have done that with nirvana.

EDIT:

I really didn't expect the amount of recommendations in this thread. Just want to say I've found some really interesting music I would have not otherwise encountered. Turned into a cool thread!

I’m pretty sure it also starts with someone hitting drumsticks together three times. I’m losing my mind! The intro is fiddles going “bum bum bum we-E we-E bum bum bum bum… ba da da da da da da” and then some guy with a low voice starts talking. Upbeat song, and the beginning sounds a lot like livin on love by Alex Jackson. Please help!!!

I recently started to listen to Zach Bryan, I'm not a big country music fan(love the music). I normally listen to hip hop but I when I found Zach I couldn't go a day without playing his Playlist.I wanted to ask in the country music space how is Zach Bryan view, me personally I haven't heard 1 bad song from him.

I have lyrics for a country outlaw song, inspired by Bryan martins "we ride" looking for a vocal coach to help me sing similar to how he does. Online preferred.

Thanks to the mods for letting me post here. I have a guitar that I am looking to sell, but I am completely in the dark as to its value in the marketplace.

When I was young, I played in a local concert series that featured classic country stars, and I collected some signatures over the course of that year. The guitar itself was $175, so not a ton of value there. The signatures on the guitar include:

Billy Walker, Tommy Cash, Barbara Fairchild, Jody Miller, Stonewall Jackson, Wanda Jackson, Helen Cornelius, Tommy Overstreet, Bobby G. Rice, and Lulu Roman

Before I list it on eBay or another site, I just need to know what a realistic value for an item like this would be.

Anybody know? Or have ideas about where I could inquire?
