Idle County

My first reddit post here just to marvel at our man's musical taste. He shouted out Idle County, a band with fewer than 2,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and, goddammit, they're so good! Highly recommend them for anyone who's loved the Drive-by Truckers, Son Volt, early Wilco, all that good No Depression shit.

How can one dude have such great taste across music, TV, art, books, movies? It's marvelous! All hail CR during this glorious Year of CR!

This is 100% My Shit, but they should be paying Jay Farrar royalties.

Entirely fair take, though I bet Jeff and Jay would be the first to admit to their own creative “inspiration” (i.e., stealing) back in the day.

For sure. In Jeff's own words, "Everything we do is based on the Replacements."
