Some of the music i have listened to more recently (within the past three or four years) has been slightly influence by the southern, "country"-ish sound
some of it is delicious, others are good for a while but then they get old
as does most everything
i think you could call it folk-y
if you wanted to
Tracy Chapman
okay so Tracy Chapman is very "folk"
Neko Case - fantastic, haven't become bored yet
Rilo Kiley - good, but i've become bored
Bright Eyes - okay so like really good five years ago, but now im bored
my favorites
Trespassers William have a little bit of a southern sound sometimes - obviously i am still in love
this might be a stretch, but there are some songs by
Now It's Overhead that have a southern-y sound to them - very very good, not tired of them yet
there are others but im afraid i would be shot down if i tried to link them to this kind of sound, though i would say there is certainly a heavy influence (and a lot of them are more than a few years old (at least in terms of when started listening))
Andrew Bird,
Calexico,
Cat Power,
Loney, Dear,
Sufjan Stevens(though with him i think it's the point, to be influenced by the state he's in),
The Good Life,
Cursive,
Son, Ambulance,
Desaparecidos,
Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins,
A.C. Newman,
Earlimart,
Tilly and the Wall,
The Elected,
Born Ruffians,
Modest Mouse,
Franz Ferdinand,
Peter Bjorn and John
and yeah... there are others but i think the stretch is farther still
