The big star Extended universe of influence //

there’s this band called Big Star that started releasing records in 1971 that capture an indie rock/folk sound i think more clearly than any artist had before, but had no real success while they were first active in the 70s. their sound was so undeniable that we start to see a new generation of musicians that discover the band and create music inspired by it with much greater success, an inspiration that can be undoubtedly heard in these musicians’ writing. my favorites of these Big Star Influenced artists: Elliott Smith (and thru him, phoebe bridgers) The Replacements R.E.M Wilco Teenage Fanclub Jeff Buckley (and many more)

SOME ALT COUNTRY I LIKE

Different Stars by Trespassers William It’s somewhere between country and dream pop. Like ambient twangy guitar music Any of Will Oldham’s music He’s got a bunch of different aliases but they’re all good. Days in the wake and viva last blues are my favorite albums. Silver Jews American Water and The Natural Bridge are both really good. Emmylou Harris She’s just goated.
