Chris Stapleton was the musical guest on SNL last night and brought his buddy Sturgill Simpson who is from Jackson, KY with him. They both sang on "Forty Miles to Memphis" and had a guitar duel in the middle of the song. Love the music these guys put out. Them along with Jason Isbell are the new "Outlaws" of the alt-country music scene. Main stream/pop country stations play Stapleton but won't touch Sturgill's or Isbell's music. Sirius radio's Outlaw Country station plays all of their music..

I'm with you, Tsk. I like both of them but neither of those songs are among Stapleton's best, imo.
Why do you call what they play ‘alt country’? I’d say the other junk would be the alternative.
They are both great, Tyler Childers will be there one day.
I hate both guys, and hate the new alt country, but really love both of those songs.
I would say that current country music is also known as pop.
It's pop music with country instruments, lyrics, and vocal phrasing.
Here’s an idea, quit arguing over what’s what and listen to the music you like without worrying if you’re impressing someone or not.
Great performance.
Like both songs and both artists, which is high praise because country isn't really my bag. I liked these two songs, but obviously the metalhead is gonna like the rock-tinged tunes over the more down tempo straight country stuff.
Also, here's modern "bro country" in a nutshell:

In the most boss move ever, Sturgill who was not invited to the CMA's, shows up, sets up outside the arena and gives a free concert before and during the CMA's.
