Alt-Country Primer

Published: June 20, 2023, 10 p.m.

In this episode Nate and Kyle, well... mostly Kyle discusses all things alt country. These are the songs that Kyle feels best represent the alt country vibe. The songs and artists on this playlist are ones that don't fit into your precious genre boxes or your succinct synopses and certainly don't want your country radio airplay, or your increased exposure... or your fandom... or your... money... um... where was I? Listen as at least one of the hosts heaps mounds of love on these beloved songs and is grateful that they chose to follow their muse instead of suckling at the teats of big music and selling out.
