I've been listening to a lot of what I consider seems like 'old-fashioned country' which from my perspective is the 1970's, which I suppose is more like folk music than country music.
It's not about pickup trucks, cowboy hats, horses, and so it - it's about people. The lyrics, instruments and style are very accessible, and though they may have been powerfully engineered, rigorously produced and then thoroughly digitized, the songs do not feel that way. The songs feel "real".
Check out Neko Case, won't you? I don't love all her stuff, but the songs I do like, I like a lot:
Magpie to the Morning
Things That Scare Me
We've Never Met
Furnace Room Lullaby
Wayfaring Stranger
