Beginner's Guide to Alt. Country



Been kicking around the idea of doing an alternative country guide because there's a lot more stuff out there than just Wilco. This isn't filled with your pop country that plagues the airwaves nor is it my depressing Gothic Country. This is a collection of some old, some new, and some interesting fusions between different genres. It's a rather lengthy playlist, but I decided that the more people could be exposed to, the higher the odds of someone coming across something they liked.
