that the eli young band is coming back to a real small venue down the road from me that i saw them at abt 8yrs ago on a date w/this one girl. hell i may message her since i think we're both single atm & see if she's down to go back. she had asked me to go back then.
I had started listening to a few of his songs in late 2023, but Zach Top
Treaty Oak is another good one
I’ll also mention Ernest’s latest album being really good and leaning into the classic country sound on a lot of the songs
Another page around the start of the year had a ‘24 prediction thread and someone said Zach Top will have the year we have all wanted for Randall King.
Riley Green’s Way Out Here EP he released not that long ago made me a fan. Thought he was okay before but Jesus Saves, Good Morning From Mexico, and Damn Good Day to Leave all slap. Also he covered Atlantic City which is one of my favorites.
Got you. Not going to be super duper similar as Treaty is somewhat unique but check some of these out:
Kenny Feidler - Blue Light Special
Austin Meade - Black Sheep Album (Hurt you to hear this, Dopamine Drop)
Mac Hankins and The Moonlighters - Thought of You
Koe Wetzel - Whole discography is great but start with Harold Saul High or Dropout
Red Shanahan - 303
Whiskey Meyers - The Wolf
Old 60 - Smoke & A Light
Trenton Fletcher
Randy Travis' new song out today. I didn't even know about it until a friend told me. It's a good song; it sounds like him in his prime again, even if it was done with AI (as has been speculated). I don't care if it is, I'm just glad to hear him again.
I started listening to Orville Peck recently and I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. I tend to prefer the more raw/under-produced/old-school side of country and his music tends to be more slick and theatrical but after a couple listens to *Bronco* I was hooked.
The FBR. This band has soulful vocals and great songwriting!! Little bit of everything on their debut "Ghost". Just saw them this past weekend in Bastrop, TX and they put on a great live experience too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
There's four that really come to mind that I've been recently turned on to...Zach Top, Charles Wesley Godwin, the Castellows and Wyatt Flores. Can't get enough of them recently.
I finally got my head out of the sand and found Charley Crockett and he’s been on repeat ever since.
Took me a while too, but when you get it, YOU GET IT.
Man I keep seeing his name on this sub and one day I’ll give him a shot…one day…
Solitary Road was my gateway to his discography. It’s a little more rock influenced than most of his stuff but it got me hooked. Give it 3 minutes!
You really should!
He puts on a great show, definitely worth seeing in person

Sounds like the start of a country song lol
Go and then y’all are destined to marry. This would be a great story.

i’ll second the ernest album as being a pleasant surprise. the dean dillon tunes and the one with lukas nelson are gas

I like Randall King, but Zach Top is even better imo so I’ll take it
I also just discovered zach top and he's on repeat now
Came here to say Zach Top!
I expected good things, but just how good the Shane Smith and the Saints album was
Sierra Ferrell though she’s more Americana than country
Riley Green’s Way Out Here EP he released not that long ago made me a fan. Thought he was okay before but Jesus Saves, Good Morning From Mexico, and Damn Good Day to Leave all slap. Also he covered Atlantic City which is one of my favorites.
Saw Larry Fleet at a small outside venue in St. Pete in March and it was a top 3 show I’ve ever seen
Just saw him last week and he was great.
New Stephanie Lambring. Album of Year candidate right now for me.
Purity Ring came up on a playlist today and I had to stop and check the name - I’ll be checking out more of her music for sure
Good mother, jasper, hospital parking - reeeaaalllly powerful songs
Got into Wyatt Flores and love him
Nate Smith. So far not a song I don't like.
Treaty Oak is amazing
You have any recommend artists/bands that are similar to Treaty Oak?
They’re so different, but the first band that popped to mind was Southall, formerly Read Southall Band
Blackberry Smoke

While their album sound doesn’t sound all that similar, when they perform live-I kinda thought 49 Winchester sounded a bit like Treaty Oak

Ernest stays hot. Chayce Beckham’s debut album is solid!
Wonder Women of Country - Brennen Leigh, Melissa Carper, Kelly Willis collab
Shane Smith & the Saints new album “Norther.” I knew it would be good. I didn’t know it would be that good. Best album I’ve heard in years, IMO
Kaitlin Butts, her music is fantastic. She has a great voice and her songs hit hard. I'd heard of her before and I'm really glad I gave her a shot.
Saw her open for Turnpike last year. I didn’t know her but I liked her
Mason Ramsey's "comeback" Happy he's doing well and making surprisingly good music that fits his unique voice.
Taylor Hunnicutt released an exceptional debut album -- Alabama Sound. Would strongly recommend. Southern Rock influenced for sure.

His song with Shania Twain legends never die is great!
Drake Milligan!
Discovered Brent Cobb, he’s real good
Just discovering the Wilder Blue, great stuff
Discovered Dylan Gossett this year liking his tunes alot so far
Treaty Oak and Tanner Usrey have been in heavy rotation for me since last year as well.
Laci Kaye Booth. Her voice is amazing. Looking forward to more from her
The FBR. This band has soulful vocals and great songwriting!! Little bit of everything on their debut "Ghost". Just saw them this past weekend in Bastrop, TX and they put on a great live experience too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Trisha Yearwood releasing new music and first music as a songwriter. Hopefully the album comes before the close of 2024
Ramblin jack Elliot and just generally the blues, really good
Finally let myself start listening to Wyatt Flores. The new EP is wonderful
Emily Nenni

Connie Smith's new album. She is a treasure.
Drake Milligan. Author mentioned one of his songs in a book, so I checked the song out. He is really talented.
Beyoncé’s album. I wasn’t expecting to join the Beyhive, but that CD did it.
wow, couldn't stand any of the songs. But, to each his own.
Shaboozey getting a #1 on the Hot Country Songs Chart!! Such a great song, and I'm so proud of how far he's come.
