When Traditional Country was betrothed to Mother Nashville, Popular Country and Western settled into a home where much affection, pampering, and tender-loving care would be showered upon him. But the red-headed stepson, Alternative Country, suffered a childhood of neglect and abuse, left to roam the highways and make ends meet as best as he could.
Alternative Country is the name most often used to describe a number of music genres, each exhibiting varying amounts of influence by traditional country and/or bluegrass music. A number of monickers have been used synonymously, including Americana, Insurgent Country, Twangcore, Western Beat, and Y'alternative. Genres closely related to Alt. Country and sometimes included under the umbrella are Country Rock, Roots Rock, Cowpunk, Rockabilly, Honky Tonk, and Rig Rock.
