I have never been a fan of modern country music. I do like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard, etc., But I just stumbled across this fella, Zach Bryan, and let me tell ya, I'm digging him a whole bunch.

Anybody have any suggestions for similar artists?

Try Travis Tritt & Brooks & Dunn.

That pop country crap these days is pretty bad. 97.3 The Dawg is great with the CCSN LA from 6 to Midnight every Saturday, then they play pretty much garbage the other 162 hours of the week.

Freedom 95.1 is good. It's the same station out of either Rayne or Crowley that was 106.7. KBON 101.1 will play some good country mixed in with their various Cajun, zydeco and swamp pop, even with some new artists that are actually good country music.

The new(ish) artists I find to be good, many of which are local, are:

Freddie Pate
Blaine Roy
Dustin Gaspard
Dustin Sonnier
Jared Layne
Frank Foster
Creed Fisher
Wade Reeves
Kylie Frey

I am currently into acoustic music, especially women who do Texas Fiddle or Western Swing [Quebe Sisters, Purple Hulls] or old school jazz as Western Swing [Quebe Sisters] or Bluegrass [Sierra Hull]

The bro country sounds have definitely taken a turn for the worse in my book. You could say in music, beauty is in the ears of the beholder. IMO, Eric Church's music is pretty rich. Agree, Zach Bryan has it going. Taylor Sheridan featuring his music on Yellowstone was first time I heard Bryan. Last season began showcasing Louisiana native singer Lainey Wilson.

I am in your boat. I always say they quit making country music in the 90s. My kids introduced me to Riley Green last year. He is pretty good and former QB at Jacksonville St in Al.
