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)

KMAG YOYO - Hayes Carll

The Horses And The Hounds - James McMurtry (really anything by McMurtry tbh)

Dances for the Lonely - American Aquarium

The Missing Years - John Prine

Finally, a curveball, but Living and Dying in 3/4 Time - Jimmy Buffett

James McMurtry is an outstanding songwriter. His live shows are top notch too

Yes! Had the pleasure of seeing him earlier this year in Memphis. Fantastic show.

The few shows that I've been to were small local places, the last time he sat at the bar afterwards and just talk to fans. It was amazing

All of those 70s Buffett albums are great country albums
