According to Brody over at The 9513, our Golden Age of country music counterpart is Waylon Jennings. A fine choice I might add.
Twangville - Waylon Jennings
When Waylon Jennings was fed up with the way Nashville did business he was introduced to Willie Nelson, and together the two began what is now known as Outlaw Country. Today’s country music has spawned new genres for artists who don’t like the mainstream sound. Twangville covers some of these genres like Americana and alt-country as well as other non-country influenced genres. Their coverage of non-traditional country music has earned them the title of Waylon Jennings of the blogosphere. On a side note, I like their guitar pick favicon.
If you’re not familiar with The 9513, its a country music blog run by Jenna, Brody and Brady Vercher. I should also mention its one of the best designed music blogs I’ve seen.
You’ll also want to check out some of the other blogs mentioned in the “Country Music Blogs And Their Golden Age Counterparts” post:
- Country Universe (Roger Miller)
- Big Rock Candy Mountain (Young George Jones)
- Still Is Still Moving (Willie Nelson)
- Search for the Last of the Hard-core Troubadours (Townes Van Zandt)
- City Girl, Country Girl (Dolly Parton)
- Twang Nation (Buck Owens)
Great stuff, Brody. Keep ‘em coming.
