We call back to episode TSC03: Ambient Americana but this time, we’re zooming out on this rich musical subgenre to examine the deeper roots of ambient country music, a subgenre that has evolved into a flourishing scene of diverse artists in recent years. I’m joined by music guru, Bob Holmes, of the superb ambient country group, SUSS, to examine the roots of the “high and lonesome sound”.
Bob conferred with the other SUSS members and takes us through a musical lineage that carves itself through soundtracks, classical music, 70’s rock, krautrock, jazz, country & bluegrass, and modern guitar music to arrive at the current wave of artists who lay down in the bed of cosmic ambient country music.
