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 Highwaymen

the ultimate country supergroup: Johnny, Willie, Waylon, and Kris. Highly recommend their live album, American Outlaws .

John R. Miller

his newest album, Heat Comes Down, is maybe a little less straight-up country, but it is excellent songwriting.

Colter Wall

Western Swing & Waltzes; Little Songs

Wilco - in the early years, they had some more "traditional" country sounds A.M.

As others have said, you can't go wrong with John Prine or Townes van Zandt.

Bonus NRPS, Gram Parsons, and Merle Haggard
