Have you listened to any “y’allternative” music lately? Maybe you have, but you had no idea.
Y’allternative is like a mashup of classic country storytelling with indie rock’s moodiness…and a bit of folk sprinkled in for good measure. It’s actually pretty damn good.
You’ve already got the battle of traditional versus contemporary country. Then there’s alt-country, Americana, and indie folk. So, why not make room for a y’allternative option? Basically…Cross Canadian Ragweed has been doing y’allternative country for years now.
Here are some of the best y’allternative songs:
1. “Fruits of My Labor” by Lucinda Williams
2. “Comin’ Round Again” by Houndmouth
3. “When the Roses Bloom Again” by Wilco
4. “Whiskey” by Trampled by Turtles
5. “Nights Like These” by Lucero
6. “In Dreams” by Sierra Ferrell
