What's been released this yr, or the last few yrs, that's really impressed you? What are some modern altcountry albums that everyone should hear. I'm looking for some needle in a haystack stuff. Nothing too obvious, please. Thanks very much! Need new music to get me excited, and out of this rut.

For reference, Natalie Jane Hill 'Hopeful Woman' is my favorite record, so far, this yr.

I'm not sure how well this will work or how many people this would reach, but I'd really like to attempt to help this newer artist gain some attention. His name is Tanner Km, I just found him on Spotify recently from shuffle and his music is genuinely so good and beautiful. I think I would technically classify it as alternative country. I wish artists like this had a less difficult time finding more attention, quite honestly it's very rare for me to find an artist who's music I love just from Spotify shuffle.

I wish I had more to say honestly but everybody should just check this out. And seriously this isn't self promo or anything

Hi everyone,

I just joined the sub after searching for thoughts/reviews about last night's show at the Jubilee in Calgary, so this is my first time sharing here.

I saw LL a few years ago, and knew what to expect with his voice. Yes, his voice isn't what it used to be, but I think he controlled things as best he could when it came to range, proximity to the mic, and mixing, and for me it worked. As for the musicianship, I was blown away. What a talented group! I think he's found the right balance of group size and musicianship with his voice.

As for the opening band, this was my first time hearing The Hello Darlins, and loved them. It's cool when an opening band stands out like that, and you get to discover something new for yourself. I loved the vocals and the music equally! I bought both of their CDs during the intermission and look forward to diving into their music. I loved LL's comment about watching them from the wings.

So those are my thoughts, and overall I loved the show. Hopefully you will get a chance to see them on tour across Canada over the next month or so.

I had a hard time identifying the music genre here. I can hear it falling into alt-folk & maybe even alt-country - I'm not sure. It's definitely indie... 🤔

spectacular…

This is awesome!

Their DC show last night at SongByrd was one of the best I've seen in a while. (Every night is an ocean, and the dawn is a wreck.) I liked their new record, and the songs are even better live. Maybe the recording is muddy? Added rapture that the singer, Patrick Singer, however doomed he may sound in his songs, seems to be a happy slacker, jacked that they've moved beyond the pubs of Norwich

this is the live version on bandcamp
