Description

No-frills music with straight-ahead lyrics, bands like the BoDeans, the Blasters, and Jason and the Scorchers found varying mainstream acceptance for their rural rock. The most recognizable Roots influence in contemporary music can be found in groups Counting Crows and Wilco. Arguably, the Alt-Country movement is a descendant of this form.
