There's some great stuff nowadays that isn't just bro country! It's going to be mostly smaller and all my favorites lean heavily into their bluegrass and folk roots, but there's some great stuff!

I'd check out Tyler Childers or Zach Bryan for something more mainstream. I might get flamed for calling them country, but Poor Man's Poison is fantastic as well!

If you don't love Chris Stapleton after one listen of Tennessee Whiskey, then idk what to tell you

I don't know if remaking a song from 81' counts as modern.

Yes

Tyler Childers

Hayes Carll

Charley Crockett

Jason Isbell (southern rock)

Maren Morris

Sturgill Simpson

There is so much good country music coming out now, and probably always has been, it just doesn't get played on the radio.

I want to take a moment here to mention Dan Tyminski. I know it's not his most recent, but specifically the song Southern Gothic really gave me that "this is what country is supposed to be" feeling I hadn't felt in years.

Surprised to see Yes on that list, but I guess I've only really listened to their 70s albums

Ha! I apologize profusely for the confusion, not Yes the band, Yes there is still good country music being made by modern artists.
