Not new at all... they've been around for awhile.
My favorite by them is Small Town Kid.
It's just that the mainstream CMT/Top 20 Country stations don't play good country anymore...or country at all. I mean, really, Rascal Flatts is the antithesis of country. So is Keith Urban, Cowboy Troy and all this other trash out there right now.
The real stuff is in alt country or Texas/Red Dirt country, stuff like Kevin Fowler, Cory Morrow, Drive By Truckers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Bleu Edmondson, Aaron Watson, Casey Donahew Band, Randy Rogers Band, and Robert Earl Keen.
Any of the above maybe played on the radio, but I doubt it.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
