    My kind of country music:

    “There’s a gateway in our minds That leads somewhere out there, far beyond this plane Where reptile aliens made of light Cut you open and pull out all your pain Tell me how you make illegal Something that we all make in our brain Some say you might go crazy But then again, it might make you go sane”

        Sturgill Simpson! Song is called Turtles all the way down and the music video is also pretty epic.

            I checked it out. Damn that’s cool. Sound reminds me of vintage country like maybe Glenn Campbell. Love the topic. Thanks!

              I’m so glad you enjoy!

              Shooter Jennings is another you may enjoy, very alt-country southern rockish.

              Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real is a great band that is also alt-country but more like indie-ish beach rockish bluesyness. It’s hard to define lol.

              Enjoy your adventures into alt-country and if you want more recommends hit me up!
