You'll find quite a few of the most popular songs are remakes from other current artists or new spin on old songs.
One of my favorite songs is LA County by John D Hale Band....I can't find a good youtube of any quality....but that's a Lyle Lovett Song, and coincidently, Lyle Lovett is sitting in number 1 on the chart with Pat Green today. Alot of these bands are friends, and there are a lot of opportunities to see 2-3-4 of the leads playing accoustic in small venues when they aren't touring, and they'll play each other's songs. Sturgil's version of Medicine Springs is awesome. I can't embed video from ipad or I would. Some of these guys, I much prefer live....prime example is Jason Eady. I enjoy his live stuff much more than the production sound. IF you're wanting to "cruise" Red Dirt songs, do a youtube search of "Music Fog" sessions. |

I ADORE Sturgill's remake of Medicine Springs. One of the few songs where I like the remake better than the original. He is far and away my favorite artist of any genre right now. Has been for months.

You know my opinion on Turnpike Troubadours since you turned me onto them. Probably my favorite band of all time at this point. Spotify is your friend. They pretty much don't have a bad song. If you ever get the opportunity, see them live. They are worth it. Mad reps to Iowanian for turning me onto them. |

Whiskey Myers sings a lot of different kinds of songs, but he's intense man. I like his soulful stuff a little better, but there's a lot of good out there. http://whiskeymyers.com/
Songs I like Ballad of a Southern Man (I usually hate this "type" song) Lonely East Texas Nights Gone Away Summer 2005 Nobody Knows her Name |

I'm not sure if they're still at it but, Randy Rogers Band is good. http://www.randyrogersband.com/
They've got a ton of good songs but some of my favorites are Lost and Found One Thing I know Never Be that High Buy Myself a Chance In My Arms Instead Better off Wrong |

Iowanian mentioned Cody Canada. It's all old, but it broke me into Red Dirt. I'm a big listener of Cross Canadian Ragweed, the band that Cody Canada used to be in.
Other Songs that stand out, but I like pretty much every song by them. Alabama Constantly Cry Lonely 17 Down Wanna Rock and Roll This Time Around |

Holy shit, oh yeah... that Sturgil Simpson mfer is the REAL deal as well, talk about real country... these new pukes like Aldean and Chesney couldnt hold a candle to him.
That guy is the white Muddy Waters, such a powerful and authentic voice... wow. |

Cory Morrow has some pretty respectable music out there. His beat is not really very country, but I really like his stuff.
Probably my favorite song of his.... Another good one. |

I live in the heart of Red Dirt country and the hometown of Cody Canada, but I'm criminally out of touch with the genre. I'm a Rock/Rap guy but I'm mildly interested in learning more about RD music. I don't know if he's lumped in with other RD artists, but I'm a big fan of Robert Earl Keen.

Aaron Watson is pretty decent. He's got kind of an old school sound to him. There is some of his stuff that doesn't resonate with me, but he's definitely good for a listen.
Other Songs I like: Raise your bottle Barbed Wire Halo Next to Heaven Whiskey on the Fire |
