Country Rock

[schmeankman]

You folks is the beans, so they tells me. So riddle me this, for the lack of a less Aragahy term. In yet another one of my world famous genre suggestion threads, I come to you now looking for "country/folk rock". :eek: Heavy, eh? Might want to take a minute to cool off. After that answer my questions, lazy buttoxesses!

What are some album suggestions and similar artist for the following plethera of country rock zenithicity:

Brewer & Shipley
Poco (besides A Good Feelin' & Indian Summer)
Loggins & Messina (besides s.t.'d and Full Sail)
Pure Prarie League
The New Riders of the Purple Sage
Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I don't claim to know about official genres, but in my own mind I've always referred to Blue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewbpc7vvAC8) Rodeo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crfpN3n8lR0) as "country rock."

Anyway, even if I'm wrong they're a really good band that not many people would know outside Canada, that's probably at least similar to what you're looking for.

(ignore the video for the first one, it's the only example I could find on youtube of one of my favorite songs)

The Beau Brummels (Triangle and Bradley's Barn specifically)

The Byrds (Sweethearts of the Rodeo.)

The Flying Burrito Brothers

Gram Parsons (check out G.P. and Grievous Angel)

[ArmsAreLoud]

Aren't the Eagles considered country rock? If so... yeah.

[OldFogey]

The Byrds (Sweethearts of the Rodeo.)

The Flying Burrito Brothers

Gram Parsons (check out G.P. and Grievous Angel)

These!

Any Byrds album with Clarence White should be on your list.

More recently I think Wilco would fit the bill.

Buffalo Springfield was actually a pioneer of this sound -- check out "Go and Say Goodbye" from their debut album.

I love Buffalo Springfield, I have their last two albums on vinyl. :)

And I do have the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man", and I'm somewhat familiar with their other work. I'm yet to check out Gram and The Burritos though.




@Armsareloud: I'm going to see them here on the 17th, so you can color me knowledgeable on their part.

@Gowie: That was awesome.

@Rainbow: Kinda neato. I shall look farther into them.

I always loved The Goose, one of my dad's favorite bands and one of my gems now.

Country Rock is a weird sub-genre since Rockabilly is highly country influenced. In the 60's with the rock changing it morphed into a different style which became Country Rock. Here are some early examples.

Yes to Blitzen Trapper.

I recently decided to check these guys out after hearing Furr on a college radio station, I definitely like what I've heard so far.
