"Alt-country" is a term commonly used to describe music that's more like "Southern rock" - and is rarely as country as it is alternative. Country roots are relatively rare in the modern indie scene, which is why Deportees' new album, Damaged Goods, is a tribute to the term, and is actually a legit 50/50 mix of alt and country.
