Blue Highway is excellent. I got Candy Coburn's new CD (Texas flavored country) and Gloriana (sort of like Little Big Town and Lady Antebellum). Ashton Shepherd should have a new CD out this year (Alabama twang).

Wait, when exactly are you talking about? Music-Machine-generated country music has been that way for about 20 years, if not 30.

Awesome. Thanks, man. We're on Amazon too, if anybody has gift cards to waste there...
And we're mixing a 4 song EP right now (that may go on a split 10" with us acting as the backing band for another local multi-genre musician) of killer material. So, new stuff from T5 coming down the pike in the next few months.

D'oh! Way to not notice the date. What's with all the gravedigging recently?
bastard sons of johnny cash is also really good. I especially like their album 'walk alone' On pandora, their radio station also brings up quite a few of the bands listed here.

I'm loving new country, it's taking the place of old rock 'n roll.

Funny you should mention. I just came from a thread on sort of a good ol' boys Telecaster forum about Keith Urban's new guitars. Turns out, he's playing a couple custom Teles (one with a shattered mirror top and one covered with LEDs) that pay subtle homage to both Ace and Paul's guitars in the latter era of KISS. Coincidence? Likely not...
Oh, and since this thread has been brought back from the grave, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention, apropos of this thread, that the link to my band's (Trigger 5) live on-air performance from this past Saturday on our awesome local station KDHX can be easily and conveniently found at this very link for your listening pleasure right here!
(I'm not a Canoe, I just play one on the intertubas.)
You're too dorky to be a canoe

As much as I dislike the guys music, Keith Urban is a superb guitarist.

Bulletproof
The stuff I am listening to the most right now is rotating between old punk (the Clash, Sex Pistols, some old Oi! bands), alternative country and bluegrass and the Wu-Tang Clan. I think I might be a bit strange...
The same thing that has happened to every genre of music, it's all turning to E36 M3.
Get off my lawn.
punk.

That is one that I haven't listened to yet (although I've probably heard most of the songs). How is it?
Wait! Since when is bluegrass not considered country music?
That is like saying punk isn't rock and roll.

I like it a lot. There are a number of really good songs on it.

Wu-Tang thugs beez on the swarm

For some reason these lyrics have been playing over and over again in my head for about fourteen years now.
I haven't read the thread, but in response to the question asked, it ran away with her high-school sweetheart, took the dog and keyed his truck.
Jason Boland and the Stragglers just released a new album this month. Listening to it now, haven't heard enough yet to comment, but I do like their stuff.
Edit: Turns out it released today 
Crap. I was hoping this thread came back from the dead to report "What happened to Country Music" was that it's over.
Its not.
I went to an Ag college and watched goat ropers stand in the parking lot roping steer heads and spittin' chaw everywhere while singing more versions of "Your Cheatin' Heart" than I knew you could make of one song so I hated country for the longest.
But when they got progressive I began to listen. Now I listen to the really old stuff and the new stuff and don't care much for all that in between.
But my radio dial has presets for Country, old rock, new rock, Christian, classical and just about everything but rap and I change stations when they get to a commercial I hate. Which means I rotate around a lot.
There ought to be a law that prohibits a business owner from making their own commercials.
