He's the guitarist for Big Thief but his solo albums are some of the best country I've heard in a long time. And free from the toxicity of modern country (as far as I can tell)

Holy shit Buck Meek and Big Thief are so good. Definitely more on the indie folk side of country but I'd be lying if I said Dragon New Warm Mountain wasn't my favorite album of last year

The full version of "This Land Is Your Land" is actually cool and good. Check it out sometime.

There was a big, high wall there that tried to stop me A sign was painted said "Private Property" But on the backside, it didn't say nothing This land was made for you and me

Pink Williams - Commie Cowboy

Thanks for the suggestion! I would consider this more folk punk than country, but it's got a Johnny Cash vibe to it for sure. I like it.

I would like to add The Devil Makes Three to the list of redeemable country music. I guess they are more bluegrass/folk punk, but they shred and the lyrics are good.
