I actually love the sound of a steel guitar but it seems like the only country music that features steel guitar heavily is the kind with insipid lyrics.

If anyone could make any recommendations on that front, I'd be happy to receive them.

May I introduce you to countrycore

I never knew I needed this in my life, and they are amazing live too.

That's it, I'm trading in my lucky strikes for a corncob pipe.

I respect your opinion

But my ear bud can never be trusted again after what it just produced

It seems like the interesting parts of country music got kicked out by gate-keeping corporate assholes. Americana seems to have collected a lot of the exiles, i.e. Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Jason Isbell, Allison Russell, Gillian Welch, Maren Morris, etc.

I guess Chris Stapleton hasn't been kicked out of country yet, and he's pretty good. I thought "White Horse" was an absolute jam.

I'm generally not a country music fan, although I love any well composed and performed music, regardless of genre. Chris Stapleton is as good as a musician gets. He's a first rate composer, and an excellent singer/ guitarist/performer.

The fact that he exists, puts every one of the rest of those lightweight State Fair acts to shame. I would be ashamed to put out so much of that insipid nonsense, knowing it's going up against masterful work like Stapleton's. He's easily the best thing happening in Country Music these days.

In the Orchard by Tiger Army

It's really good and has steel slide guitar.

Charlie Crockett, he has a real old school sound and southern twang. He cranks out music like crazy, too!

Crucified Son Kentucky Too Long

Both of those songs are my favorite from him.

Check out Red Sparowes, it's instrumental progressive metal (I guess it's metal) that heavily features steel guitar. Very big sound, it's like listening to a landscape or dramatic weather.

I've seen this band described as ambient Americana, very spacey but it's a vibe and there is a good amount of steel guitar - https://suss.bandcamp.com/album/counting-sunsets
