I really dislike the new country or pop country as I sometimes call it. I do really enjoy bands like the Avett Brothers, The Civil Wars and Old Crow Medicine Show. Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Even if it's something from the past.

No I don't think of her as country but yes, some people do that's why I used the term 'alternative country' thanks for the recommendations guys
