Alt-Country (or whatever you want to call it) *Mostly* from the 90's

Hey there, Last month's trip down the Southern Rawk trail, led me to this month's "Alt-Country" bender. I've been on a *mostly* 90's Alt-Country kick over the last couple weeks, which led to this 229 track (and counting) playlist. I tried not to double up artists unless there were separate song-writers in the band (IE: Uncle Tupelo). Not all the artists here would be considered "Alt-Country" but I think these all fit (there might be a few strays). This is a work in progress, as I'm still adding to it. If you are up for it take a look at the playlist and feel free to recommend any artist or track I may have missed. I'm especially looking for tracks by artists who aren't associated with the genre. Much like Frank Black's wonderful duet with Marty Brown, "Dirty Old Town".

Happy Listening!

Southern Rawk!

I've been feeling nostalgic for one of the most popular sub-genres of Rock in my neck of the woods (The South). I know Southern Rock is not everyone's cuppa, but there are some really great tunes out there if you give it a chance.

Grunge Revisited Vol. 2

Another 25 tracks a few artists doubled up from Vol.1. It clocks in at a little less than 85 minutes. Happy Listening!

Grunge Revisited!

"Grunge". If you lived through the 90's, this word probably has a very specific meaning for you. It was inescapable to be sure. You probably either embraced it or you hated it. I think it gets a bit of bad rap amongst music snobs. There were certainly some artists that cashed in on the phenomenon, but there were also some really great acts. The fact that some of these really great acts made boatloads of money, probably rubbed some people the wrong way. I know I got tired of a lot of these bands. Recentely, I decided to revisit some of these albums, and I found myself enjoying the music way more than I expected. I decided to make and share this playlist. Hopefully you already own or are at least familiar with the genre defining Singles Soundtrack. This playlist works as a nice companion piece. Many of the same artists but none of the same songs. Happy listening!
