Free MP3: Derek Hoke, “Sweetheart Letter”
Sep 5, 2012 5:29 PM by Peter Grumbine
Derek Hoke plays unapologetically classic country from the pre-digital, hell, pre-cassette era. Think of it as sort of pensive hillbilly. Derek and his songs aren’t going to lurch forward at you and shout in your face. He’s more the type of guy to lean back and play at his own pace and draw you in on his own terms.

Aug 9, 2012 2:00 PM by Staff
When Nick 13 branched off from his role as lead man in psychobilly stalwarts Tiger Army to pursue a more laid back, old school country solo project, some people scratched their heads, but take one listen to his self-titled solo album, and you’ll agree there is no better way to present these songs.

Matt Stillwell, “Ignition”

A man as hard working as he is talented, Matt Stillwell is making a name for himself the old-fashioned way – one, city, one bar, one crowd at a time.

Colt’s Ford‘s “Answer to No One” could easily be called “Colt’s Manifesto.” Colt’s back to remind us exactly who he is, and we’re not just talking about being the Georgia boy who raps country music– nope, Colt’s digging deeper to show us what makes him tick.

Moot Davis, “Fade to Gold”
Feb 6, 2012 6:00 AM by Will Durkin
New Jersey-based artist Moot Davis undertook quite the journey to complete his newest album, Man About Town, travelling from Auckland to Austin to Nashville, but in the end it was all worth it – he was able to make a album that, in his words “wasn’t altered to suit anybody’s taste but mine.” Check out his smooth new single “Fade to Gold.”
Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, “Far Away”
Jan 31, 2012 6:00 AM by Will Durkin
For over 10 years Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad have been turning out some of highest quality roots reggae this side of the American border. However, their musical interests have led them down a different path for their new album Country - an acoustic country album. Such a shift in style might raise some eyebrows, but once you listen you can quickly tell that this was a move born out of pure inspiration.

It can mean the traditional croon and swoon style of Patsy Cline and Hank Williams (both of whom seem to pop up on everyone’s influence list, even the rock and rollers). “Country” can mean the thumping bass and frantic banjo of bluegrass, the gritty grimy guitar of Neil Young or a classic four chord homage to the working class hero. For this Best of MP3.com 2011 list, we offer 10 Kinds Of Country.
