This style mixes elements of Folk music with often wryly humorous lyrics, echoes of the poetry of lonesome cowboys. Universally sung to guitar accompaniment, Modern Country tends to be about the simple things of life such as love, work, and families. Drinking, cars and trucks also figure heavily in Country lyrics. Popular artists include Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton. Subgenres and related styles include Rockabilly, Bluegrass, and Country-rock.

The Alternative Country music revival began in the early 90's and swept through Nashville's music community when Country radio started playing only Top-40 music and ignored completely the Roots artists that made the genre what it is today. This category is for that special group of labels that pride themselves on being in the "insurgent Country crowd."
