Music blog Aquarium Drunkard tracks the beginnings and evolution of the alt.country genre and the current correlation of No Depression magazine’s imminent demise and the new release of a deluxe edition of Whiskeytown’s Stranger’s Almanac.

The fine folks at The 9513 have some good taste in country music blogs but somehow they’re also reading mine and for that I’m much obliged. They’ve put together a nice collection of blogs they read and assigned each a country hero personality. They’ve chosen some great site and assigned some true country pioneers so it’s hard to squabble with
Twang Nation being associated with Bakersfield hillbilly rocker  Buck Owens. It’s all just so…damn…give me a moment here folks.

Sites represented:

Big Rock Candy Mountain
Search for the Last of the Hard-core Troubadours
