******************** THE ORIGIN & HISTORY OF ALT COUNTRY MUSIC ********************

Alternative country (sometimes just alt-country), insurgent country, or Americana, is a sub-category of country music that is loosely defined, and includes groups and artists that vary considerably in terms of style, from mainstream or pop country music. Alternative country music defines country music artists and bands that have infused influences ranging from bluegrass, rockabilly, roots rock, honky-tonk, folk rock, alternative rock, and at times even punk.

Jason and the Scorchers and Long Ryders (of the 1980s Southern Californian cowpunk scene) were widely regarded as pioneers in taking a stab at fusing punk with country music. The group Uncle Tupelo showcased the two music styles fully merged in his 1990’s LP, No Depression. This LP album was then recognized as the first "alt-country" album.

Eventually, Uncle Tupelo members formed three distinct major bands in the Alternative country music genre: Son Volt, Bottle Rockets, and Wilco. Other prominent bands in the alternative country music scene include Whiskeytown, Blue Mountain, Blood Oranges and Drive-By Truckers. Some alt-country songs have been successful crossover hits, like Ryan Adams's "When The Stars Go Blue" which was performed by Tim McGraw.
