My favorite mag, Garden & Gun, is calling their latest "The Music Issue." Chris Stapleton is featured on the front and they have a piece on "Country Music's New Outlaws."
There's an interview they did with Merle Haggard, presumably before he died....could have been after. I don't know. I haven't read it yet....and Sturgil Simpson. They do small pieces on the up an coming country acts/writers like Aubrie Sellers, Parker Milsap, Margo Price, Cale Tyson etc. Also lists 6 "Outlaw Albums" that stand the test of time. AU1 would be interested to know that they give big props to Jason Isbell for being the catalyst for starting what they call the outsider country movement.
I just got the issue and haven't had a chance to read but a few of the write-ups, but I'm looking forward to looking them over and checking out some of theses artists' music. It appears the whole jist of the feature is looking at artists, both old and new, that don't fit the bro country mold that's been so prevalent the last few years.
And if you X'rs have never checked out this publication, I highly recommend it.
