Sturgill
Isbell
Jamey Johnson
Stapleton
All produced by Dave Cobb. Just look up the albums he produces. He's the only one that seems to know WTF country music sounds like the past few years.

Real country is the same as it's always been. It's true American music about living and loving and regular people
Amen, brother. Texas checking in here. Real country is about livin' and lovin', drinking with your buddies until closing time, dancing the night away with pretty ladies on the dance floor to your choices of songs & when to ask lovely ladies to dance with you to these songs, enjoying the hell out of all the rest of your non-dance choices, and so much more.
I love real country. It is not officially dead, just not quite connecting at this time with (IMO) old time "real" country.
After all, it's all just a matter of opinion as to what feels good in this category. Thanks for allowing me to play along and express my opinion.

Man,do you think I have time to be on a computer searching for good new music? Most days, I barely have time to play my guitar,or eat.
The way things used to be,the real DJ at the radio station found the best new shite,and played it so that everyone would hear it on the radio,then they bought it. That was a DJ's job. Now you have programmers.
It would be nice if I could just turn on the radio and hear good shite,while I'm driving 800 miles today.

Country radio is dead. Country is far from dead with Sturgill, Isbell, Stapleton, Cody Jinks, Margo Price, Paul Cauthen, and Colter wall.
And even some in the mainstream like Brothers Osborne and Midland prove
That country radio is taking a turn back to traditional and neotraditonal.

Dave Cobb is one of the best things in music right now. Not country, but Lake Street Dive is amazing. Cobb produced as well.

Daniel Romano.
His first 3 albums are great. Songwriting, melodies are very much older, better country.
Daniel Smalley is a local guy that will be headlining in the next few years if he can get a break.

Where Are the Women on Country Radio?
quote:Music industry expert's advice for country radio stations? Play fewer songs by women
Often today, the only women found on mainstream country radio are the ones riding shotgun in a pickup truck. Of course, country women are more than capable of driving their own trucks, writing their own songs and singing about their own experiences — and they are doing just that. But you wouldn’t know it by listening to the average corporate-owned country music station.
Kacey Musgraves, Brandy Clark, Ashley Monroe, Angaleena Presley and Sunny Sweeney have all released critically-acclaimed records only to receive minimal radio play. Lori McKenna and Natalie Hemby, both accomplished hit-making songwriters, recently released stunning albums filled with what would once be radio-ready singles. But if you turn on your local country station, you’re more likely to hear something by Florida Georgia Line featuring the Backstreet Boys.
So what happened? Was ’90s country an anomaly — a golden age for women on country radio? Did public taste change or did radio simply turn its back on female country artists?
quote:
Music industry expert's advice for country radio stations? Play fewer songs by womenRadio consultant Keith Hill brands himself as "the world's leading authority on music scheduling" and he has advice for country radio stations everywhere: Don't play too many songs by female artists.
Seriously, he says – it's bad for ratings and he has the data to back it up.
A bold statement? It might seem that way, especially as gender balance is a lightning-rod topic in the country music industry. At the moment, female singers have an extraordinarily tough time breaking through in Nashville, as radio and sales are regularly dominated by male artists, save for rare exceptions like Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert.
But Hill doesn't see his declaration as controversial at all. To him, it's a data-based fact: The optimal amount of female singers on a country station for "robust" ratings is 15 percent, he's found in his research.
"If you want to make ratings in country radio, take females out," he told industry publication Country Aircheck. The reasoning, Hill says: Women spend more time listening to country radio, and statistics show they enjoy hearing male artists more than women. "Trust me, I play great female records and we've got some right now; they're just not the lettuce in our salad. The lettuce is Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and artists like that. The tomatoes of our salad are the females."
Naturally, Hill's comments set off a firestorm in Nashville, with reactions of disgust from singers including Lambert, Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles and Terri Clark; publications called it #SaladGate; there was outrage on social media.
In the aftermath, Hill doubled down on his remarks, though he also said he was "misunderstood." It's not his job to care if there are an equal amount of male and female artists played, he argues. His job is to help radio stations get more listeners. And by advising them to play fewer songs by women, he says, that's what will happen.
"I'm not advocating less females on the radio," he said in a phone interview, adding: "All I have done is read a dashboard of metrics and read a suggestion to an internal part of the industry." He said it's like he's a radio "doctor," and this is his diagnosis: "If you play more than 15 percent female on (country) radio, your ratings will go down."
