I'm after bands that kind of straddle the line between straight-forward classic type rock and alt-country. Kind of a "Southern hole in the wall bar band" type sound. I guess the most popular bands of this type would be The Black Crowes, Cracker, Cast Iron Filter, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Wallflowers, Hootie and The Blowfish, The Whigs, mid-period My Morning Jacket, early Kings of Leon, The Rolling Stones, Blitzen Trapper, Reckless Kelly, Cross Canadian Ragweed, The Jayhawks, Deer Tick, etc. I could keep going, but hopefully you get the picture of the type of music I'm looking for.
I know that's a pretty long list, but I wanted to show I'm not necessarily looking for a certain genre, more kind of the borderline artists from a number of genres, and I couldn't really explain what I was looking for without just listing a lot of artists that had that "southern hole in the wall bar band" type sound. Since most music recommendation services are totally genre based and I'm not really looking to expand a particular genre, they're mostly useless.
Anyway, thanks in advance, and I hope this thread helps/entertains more than me.
