I’ve always had a soft spot for country, mainly via bands with Americana sound like Wilco, early Band of Horses, Jason Molina etc. Plus, I’ve always loved Cash, Nelson et al. Then on the more modern side I’ve enjoyed records by Caitlin Rose and Kacey Musgraves etc. However, I’ve only recently shown an interest in playing country. On the flip side, I have no time for the awful blues rock, boot stomping, flag waving stuff. No offence, but ain’t for me. I’m just all about the heartfelt yearning. 😁 I love the simple root and 5th use of country bass. So here’s my question(s) - what bassists should I be looking to study in the country/alt country scenes? Who else loves a heartfelt country jam? Do all your ex’s live in Texas?

Don’t Ask Me To Dance - Arab Strap

Hot Water Music at the Brude last week. ❤️

Not just basses…sorry

How can that be ergonomic or stable? Don’t do it.
