Thanks everybody for responding. I’ll check them all out. I’m 65 and only discovered prine recently. There is a lot of great music out there I haven’t heard. Guys like TVZ, DAC, and JJW are so overlooked. I’d Like to discover unknown music like trampled turtles and James McMurtry

Not country, but if you like Trampled, check out Mumford and Sons.

James McMurtry is the son of Lonesome Dove author Larry McMurtry. Storytelling runs in the family
I love John prine and Townes van zant. Please tell me about guys not well known
If you like Townes Van Zant, you've probably heard of his buddy Blaze Foley. If not, you should check him out, pretty good singer/ song writer.
Lots of more recent singers that are good that dont get mainstream radio play. Hank Williams III, Tyler Childers, Zach Bryan, Sturgill Simpson, Wyatt Flores, Whitey Morgan and the 78s, Turnpike Troubadours, and Jason Boland are some of my faves.
To me, Don Williams, although somewhat famous, was the most underrated country singer of all time. Never got the awards he deserved. Had a ton of hit songs...
The boys are playing as “Reckless Kelly” and “Micky and the Motorcars”.
Plus 1 on the Braun family. We lived in Challis, Idaho, in the 1980's and 1990's. The Braun family lived upriver past Clayton. The boys have done well with their music. Excellent songwriters.
Roy Acuff Jr. The son of Roy Acuff of country and bluegrass music. I have an album of his somewhere. kwg
Roy Acuff, Jr. Biography by AllMusic b. Roy Neill Acuff, 25 July 1943, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. The son of Roy Acuff, at times during his childhood, Roy Jnr. saw little of his father owing to his touring commitments. Initially showing little interest in music, he began to work in the offices at Acuff-Rose Music but in 1963, unbeknown to his father, he learned to sing and play the guitar. In 1965, he was given the opportunity to record for Columbia Records by Wesley Rose and a month later his father introduced him on the Grand Ole Opry. He played various venues in the USA and even toured US military bases in Germany. Occasionally he appeared with his father and in the early 70s, he sang backing vocals on some of his recordings. However, audiences made him nervous and he never enjoyed performing. He was much happier working behind the scenes and by the mid-70s, he had retired as a performer to become an executive of Acuff-Rose. During his brief recording career, he wrote and recorded several of his own songs including ‘Back Down To Atlanta’ and ‘Street Singer’.
mischei; Good afternoon, I hope that the day in your portion of Oklahoma is behaving and you're well.
Some respondents have already mentioned Corb Lund, so here's one of his l like. His music is sorta Alberta oilfield/ranch music truly, not exactly country.
Hayes Carll has also been mentioned, here's one that he helped Corb Lund write.
Colter Wall is the son of the former Premier of Saskatchewan and has a unique voice and style.
Anyways, a couple from the "not so commonly heard" group perhaps?
She headlined at our festival a couple years back, Gov'T Mule is there annually as well.
On the last night they do a Buffalo Mtn Jam consisting of any bands that stayed around after the 5 days. She & they did a helluva set, rivaled only by GM & Billy Strings. The Buffalo Mtn Jam started when Gregg Allman was the scheduled headliner, this was the first show he cancelled the year he died.
Our local radio plays his stuff and he used to play local venues but I haven't seen him lately
When he first started, we got so tired of him playing at the local watering hole that we'd quit going! He definitely got better as time went on. Last time I saw him he was playing the Altenburg fair a few years back. I don't think he plays out like he used to, probably been a year since I saw them advertising a show.
