He's the guitarist for Big Thief but his solo albums are some of the best country I've heard in a long time. And free from the toxicity of modern country (as far as I can tell)

Holy shit Buck Meek and Big Thief are so good. Definitely more on the indie folk side of country but I'd be lying if I said Dragon New Warm Mountain wasn't my favorite album of last year

Pink Williams - Commie Cowboy

Thanks for the suggestion! I would consider this more folk punk than country, but it's got a Johnny Cash vibe to it for sure. I like it.

I would like to add The Devil Makes Three to the list of redeemable country music. I guess they are more bluegrass/folk punk, but they shred and the lyrics are good.
