Country music you should listen to
MysticalChicken:
Old 97's is my favorite alt-country band, although I only have Too Far to Care and Fight Songs (which is actually pretty good). Next time I go music shopping I'm looking for Wreck Your Life.
I heart Wilco.
There's an americana/alt-country band called The Avett Brothers that I've heard a few songs by, and I'm liking them a lot. I especially love "Die, Die, Die." I think it might be on their MySpace, although I can't remember the URL right off hand.
Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, Neko Case, Ryan Adams, Johnny Cash, and Drive-By Truckers are all good.

The Byrds' album 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo' (1968) is one of my favorite albums. Gram Parsons was a member of the Byrds during this time. Then Gram and Chris Hillman started the Flying Burrito Brothers, another wonderful band that blended country and rock.
Anything by Gram Parsons, Townes van Zandt, or Patsy Cline gets a lot of play from me. Also, the Townes van Zandt movie/documentary 'Be Here to Love Me' is definitely worth renting.

80% of the music in this thread isn't country.
95% of it is really good though, and a very good intro to what country music is.
Whoever said they didn't like John Prine should be banned immediately, however.
Go listen to waylon jennings, guys.
Also, Dough Sahm.

As I was typing that post, this Live Whiskeytown bootleg I am listening to suddenly started playing a version of the Jefferson's Theme.
I love Ryan Adams so hard.
