Country music you should listen to
Inlander:
. . . especially if you think you don't like country music.
Time to get some musical evangelism goin' on. How can we convert the heathen masses to the glory of real country music? Tell everyone about your favourite country albums and artists (Kieffer, I'm looking at you especially here). Link to downloads or youtubes or whatever if you want to! Describe things to people so that this is a bit more interesting than just another list thread. I won't be happy until we get a few more converts around here (and if you don't like country music, keep your mind open and we'll see what we can do).
Go!

God no I need to go to bed.
Hank Williams, Sr and Hank III (I still would like to see the ghost of Hank, Sr and Hank III get together and beat the crap out of Hank, Jr.)
Donnie Walser. He died not too long ago. He used to open down in Austin for the likes of Buddy Holly, but he didn't record his first album until he was in his 60s. He has an amazing yodel and is pure cowboy country. He found a big following in the Austin Punk Scene.
I enjoy a lot of stuff from the late 80s and early 90s like John Anderson and Michael Martin Murphy. I love Iris DeMent.
And you can't have a thread like this without mentioning such classics as Jimmy Dale Gilmore's solo stuff and with The Flatlanders, John Prine, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings.
I could keep going.

Dylan and Ryan Adams have done some amazing country stuff.
And though this may get me raped by two fanbases simultaneously, I think that 'Mama Said' by Metallica is a great country track...
