There has traditionally been ''very little'' overlap between the fandoms of mainstream country and alternative country, with the latter being treated closer to AlternativeRock and FolkRock.

Alt-country was pioneered by folk- and punk- influenced singer-songwriters like Lyle Lovett and John Prine in the mid-eighties. Music/TheByrds were another early influence on the genre with their 1968 album, ''Sweetheart of the Rodeo'', which initially sold poorly but would be later VindicatedByHistory as one of the first examples of country rock. Two Byrds members, Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons, would found The Flying Burrito Brothers, with Parsons going on to a brief solo career before his untimely death in 1973 at 26 from a drug overdose. 1970s country rock bands like the Music/{{Eagles}} would also serve as building blocks of the genre. Other early pioneers of the sound were artists in an alt-rock subgenre called "Cowpunk", such as Music/MeatPuppets, Lone Justice and the British group The Mekons. This came to prominence in TheNineties, with artists like Music/SteveEarle, Music/LucindaWilliams and Music/DwightYoakam and bands such as Music/UncleTupelo, Music/SonVolt, and Music/{{Wilco}} (the latter of which quickly moved into more general AlternativeRock) and broke into the rock mainstream in the 2000s with the success of Drive-By Truckers, Music/HankWilliamsIII and Music/RyanAdams.
