What kind of music/artists do you think epitomizes "our lifestyles"....?

[Everymanalion]

The nomadic, voluntarily "poor"(money wise) and constantly on the move social rebelliousness.... I would have to say folk/bluegrass/outlaw country. Something about the fiddle and banjo just feels so....genuine...just like life on the road. I feel most artists of these genres have at least a couple songs I can relate to what I go through when traveling....What about you?

i love all the genres youve mention, i would also add punk and roots reggae to my list of great "poor mans" music.

 

[zephyr23]

i would say a lot of old jug bands.....old blues like lead belly....and people like woody guthrie. that the music that makes me the happyest when i am on the road

the main reason i ever left home was the song America by Simon and Garfunkel :')

but as far as the original question goes, i think artists like Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam and Hank Sr are the epitome of our lifestyle. "Branded Man" still makes me tear up to this day.
