Country on the edge music

When I think about the EDGE of country music, it's not necessarily rock and roll or blues. It's stuff that a modern country music station would refuse to play. This I think is a perfect example of lyrics that reflect a country lifestyle but the music sounds like something my Grandparents listened to in the 80's.

Here's another one by one of my close friends...Scott Gerber. The only Tri-Lingual Yiddish Socialist cowboys you will ever meet.

The song is original and based on a true story.

Late 80's/Early 90's proto-folk/country alt rock.

There was that magical time when alternative music was really hitting on all strides. From REM's earliest efforts that brought the haze of a humid southern morning to the forefront of the college radio experience, the birth of grunge in the clubs of Seattle and Portland as heavy music clawed back from hair bands and spandex, to folks who really pushed the edge of music genres, blending them into some stuff that just lasts, regardless of the decade.

Like this classic:

"Country on the edge". I'll discard the country music and take one America, the "Country".

America - God Bless... Football (American Football)

Damn good American rough, long time comin'... But I know, Change gonna come. Yes, it will.

And now @Sytes pulls out all the feels. That song gives me goose bumps every time.
