The 50 Best Alt-Country Albums of All Time

Alt-country is such a hard genre to define that the wonderful music magazine devoted to it proclaimed itself the "alternative-country (whatever that is) bi-monthly." For our best alt-country albums list, we've chosen to focus on albums with significant country elements operating outside of the mainstream country music industry. So country stars we love like Kacey Musgraves and Chris Stapleton didn't make the cut. Neither did folky Americana acts like Josh Ritter, The Civil Wars or First Aid Kit, though we're huge fans of all three.
