Alt-country

“Alternative country” can refer to several ideas. Most generally, any musician who plays a type of country music different from the prevailing trend can be said to play “alternative country”. By this standard, for example, the Bakersfield sound was alternative in the 1950s, and the Lubbock, Texas musicians were alternative in the 1960s. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Silver Jews

Hi guys, I'm really not into this kind of practice but i would really like to ask you for checking out first single from my upcoming debut album on my youtube channel. I'm young singer-songwriter and I really want to be able to continue making what makes me most happy - and that is music. So if you have some time, please feel free to rate and comment on that song of mine. It will mean a lot to me : ) http://www.youtube.com/user/stefander777
