Jan 13, 2023 · The Music Critic Country and Alternative Country section includes 595 album reviews from the genre. The origins of country music are found in the folk music of working-class Americans and blue-collar life, and it remains very popular in America to this day. Sort by : Release Date | Best New Releases | Best Country of all time | Alphabetically.
- Kacey Musgraves, ‘Star-Crossed’ With a few months perspective, it seems clear that Star-Crossed represents for Kacey Musgraves a much-needed statement of (expensive-sounding) transition.
- Gary Allan, ‘Ruthless’ Gary Allan’s first album in eight years sounds…exactly like Gary Allan. And that’s glorious. At 54, the California native’s reedy tenor is fully intact and his song choices are spot-on.
- Elvie Shane, ‘Backslider’ If you listen to just one major-label debut by a dude this year, consider Elvie Shane’s. Stuffed to the gills with 15 songs — all of them co-written by the Kentucky newcomer — Backslider is a country-rock revelation.
- Dan + Shay, ‘Good Things’ Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney excel at making the kind of melodic, polished pop-country that fits perfectly on radio. Examples on Good Things include the easily digestible hits “Glad You Exist,” “10,000 Hours,” and “Steal My Love.”
- Riley Green, ‘Ain’t My Last Rodeo’ Alabama native Riley Green proves that his very good debut wasn’t a fluke on Ain’t My Last Rodeo, which is as satisfying a set of songs as any to hit the country mainstream this year.
- Turnpike Troubadours, ‘A Cat in the Rain’ After three years lost in the woods on hiatus, the Turnpike Troubadours got their shit together and reunited for A Cat in the Rain, a no-holds-barred comeback record that paired the Red Dirt band with Grammy-winning producer Shooter Jennings.
- Brent Cobb, ‘Southern Star’ Georgia native Brent Cobb continues to stake out the space between mainstream country and mainstream Americana on his sixth album Southern Star, which he self-produced and recorded at Capricorn Studios in Macon.
- The Cadillac Three, ‘The Years Go Fast’ One day, when the Cadillac Three are legit rock stars decamped for L.A. or London, Nashville is going to realize they let their native sons get away.
