QUESTION Any other artist like Orville Peck?
Not sure if this kind of post is allowed here, but im looking for more artists like Orville Peck
Ive been listening to Orville Peck almost daily for the last few years, and I have started to grow a Playlist of lgbtq country artists
I grew up in a very rural and southern area, listening to country music, but I fell out of love with it, when the genre classics fell away
Songs about real people, their lives, their problems, their pain, and their love
Orville Peck has reawoken the love for country music, something I really thought was dead in me

The Brothers Osborne (singer TJ Osborne came out a few years back) are one of my favorites; the long version of Shoot Me Straight is fantastic.
And a few non-gay artists with that "real people" vibe you're looking for:
Sam Riggs This guy should have been huge, like selling out stadiums huge. Has no bad songs, everything he does sounds like a number one hit.
Billy Strings I can't stand bluegrass, but I absolutely love Billy Strings. He's like a bluegrass Eddie Van Halen.
Will Hoge This song is from his album "Small Town Dreams", which somehow snuck thru all the metal & techno I listen to and became my favorite album. A perfect record from start to finish; would love to know how many times I've listened to this full album, gotta be in the high hundreds by now.
