What country music would you recommend to someone who wants to listen to some country that isn't bro/truck country? I know not all country music is Like That but unfortunately at the moment that's most of my experience with the genre and I want to broaden my horizons. Maybe some good gothic country or bluegrass suggestions?

(I am, of course, already familiar with Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. Beyond that feel free to suggest even extremely obvious choices)

The Petersons a very wholsome and talented family blue grass band. They are one of Bransons biggest attractions going. They do their own music , but cover many popular songs across all genres of music on thier youtube channel.

The Girls are all lead vocals, and their brother matt sings lead ocasionally Katy (fiddle), Ellen (banjo), Julianne (mandolin), Matt (guitar, Emmet (dobro), Karen "mom" (Bass).

They are obviously a christain family and sing gospel blue grass, but it was their Cover of The Beatles - Here comes the sun sung by Julianne the youngest daughter that really got me into them. Their music is diverse and targets a wide audience.

Heres a couple of my favs but their entire channel is one of those you'll be compelled to keep clicking through
