14 (more) candidates for the Alt.Country Breakup Club

Respond quickly if you can. When do you know you’re listening to a real alternative country gem?

a) when the tears starts to flow

b) when the heart squeezes

c) when you realize you need to order one more beer

d) all of the above answers

Well, if you answered (d), congratulations. You are close to understanding what an alt.rock ballad means to someone who has learned to listen to music as a kind of second language. To make this list, I couldn’t resist a sneaky new “play” on each of the tracks and, I must say, it moved me a lot, as it will move you. Grab your beer and let’s go.
