I've been a fan of Earth for a long time (although I wouldn't have made the connection). SUSS and Mute Duo also seem really good.

ambient country sounds interesting, thx for sharing the concept

Sounds fascinating! Knowing nothing about it myself, I just found this.

That's exactly what brought it to my attention!

I have a couple of playlists on Spotify. One mine, one followed. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5S0nypRtrPfuipjbeii240?si=1b47bcc27cc74669 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0RO0GaJCJSw5Gc9M52S4El?si=cda588013215490b There's some crossover and some tracks that don't quite fit the genre for me, but I enjoy them both.

Awesome! Thank you.

This isn't ambient country, but listening to some of the samples on bandcamp made me think of this, which you might like.

Yeah this is pretty cool, thank you!

Ambient country music? After seeing Billy Strings do some amazing psychedelic bluegrass, this sounds promising.

Never heard of this genre label before seeing this post and skimming that Bandcamp article, but the first thing it made me think of was early Godspeed You Black Emperor

The second thing was Merle Hazard's "Ol' Atonal Music", but it's a joke song that only actually does what it says for a little bit of it's runtime

I absolutely love Godspeed and like Earth, I wouldn't have considered it as Ambient Country but now I can definitely see some of that flavour shining through.

I didn't realize that this was a genre, but Daniel Lanois comes to mind.
