I can't listen to 'Flyin' Shoes' without tearing up. Lyle Lovett's cover might even be better than the original.

He is the ex addict dude who helps Bubbles in the Wire. Also had a heroin problem in real life but his music is great.

I only listen to country by chance. I came across him on the tiny desk concerts on YouTube. What do y'all think about him?
Tennessee Whiskey is the truth.

but the bad shit is just so bad that I stay away entirely. People say the same thing about rap though. Its not for me, but I do like being surprised every once in a while.

also, i prefer my guitars electric for the most part, so that acoustic twang is hard to get past after a bit for me personally. (this not to say there's NO electric guitar in country, btw)

well, the Townes is sort of, but in a not-really-country sort of way.

hadn't heard this. Interesting. Based on descriptions I might check out more. But country's not what I would have thought based on this sone.

>Townes Van Zandt - To Live is to Fly

Beautiful song, and you can hear the bones of a country song in it, but that's basically a demo outside of genre.
Townes is one of those country guys though whose sort of more loved by people who don't like country, but like Townes.

That's not country at all, really. Maybe sort of a bit of 'contemporary folk' flair to it, but not country.

Also much more 'contemporary folk' than country (or rock, really).
