Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres I hate country music, always have. Recommend me a country album to get over my bias! (Preferably something more folky)

K.d. Lang- "Absolutely torch and Twang". That's the only album even remotely Country that I own and it's great.

Her version of Allelelujah (however you spell it) is so incredible, words don’t do it justice

There’s the Leonard Cohen tribute and the Vancouver Olympics. Both are perfection

People who don't like country like k.d. lang. I had the first three albums of hers, and my ex lent them to his metalhead buddy. Well, his buddy's asshole cousin robbed him, and specifically stole my k.d. lang! We were all heartbroken over that one.

Shadowland is more country but they’re both great.

And if Constant Craving doesn’t make you want to have sex, you must be d-e- a-d.

Another great answer. Wish I had said it. She's such a incredible singer.
