Music Recommendations: Blues-ish Country

[SnoopRob]

All of these. I would add Colter Wall to the list. Here's a good one

I like Colter Wall, but I wouldn't have thought of him. But I think that would probably count.

Good call. Reminds me to add Jamey Johnson. Saw him and Lukas with Warren Haynes doing the Last Waltz in Durham a few years back.

Good call on Jamey Johnson, I'll have to be sure to include some of his stuff to the playlist.

I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for, but it's good music. Thanks for sharing!

 

[SnoopRob]

I'm not sure if that's country enough for what I'm looking for.

But, damn, if John Lee Hooker ain't some great blues.

The Mavericks

The Mavericks

I'm gonna have to think about this one.

Good band and song, though.

I have my doubts whether this is either country enough or blues enough to fit your criteria, but posting it anyway:

Say no more, fam. If you've never heard of or listened to them... I envy you.

Behold, I give you The Red Clay Strays

I'm wanting advice on artists/bands I should listen to that play blues-tinged country.

Oh no, now you've done it. Somewhere in the next couple of pages, this will turn into an Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt/Wilco thread. It is law.

You're correct that this isn't really what I'm looking for. But I'm always down for UT/SV/Wilco.

I know this is very unscientific, but RCS is a little too rock for what I'm wanting.

Very good band, though.

 

[SnoopRob]

Nice song.

It feels more blues than blues-ish country, but I definitely liked it.

Of what I've seen on this thread, it seems like Marcus King, Charley Crockett, and some earlier Sturgill probably best fit what you're looking for.

I have so much respect for people who can things like that. I could take lessons for a million years and I’d never come close.

Nikolas Jones ?

Don't know if this'll work, but here's another one with some blues country crossover,

 

[heelinhell]

This is a song written by Danny Flowers, a guy that was in high school with me. He was in Don Williams' band who first recorded this song and covered later by Eric Clapton.

Danny has a cd "Forbidden Fruits and Vegetables" which includes "Tulsa Time"

You might be very well correct. I very much like early Sturgill and I'm certainly going to check out Marcus King & Charley Crockett more.
