Country music that is good.

Hey everyone. I know I am new and starting a lot of new threads as a new person is generally bad form, but I need a bit of help. Before I started really exploring what the musical world had to offer (that sounded lame but I say it un-ironically) I was into really generic "alt-pop" radio bands. Since then, I've found some bands that I like in almost every genre. I am just starting to like some of the heavier metal, some screamo stuff, and other stuff that isn't traditionally considered easy listening. Currently, I live at college with 3 other guys in my room who are really into country music. I have never enjoyed traditional country music. I lived in a city most of my life, I don't ride tractors, I've never been to a tastee freeze, etc. It is mostly just hard for me to relate to even though it supposedly composed of universal themes.

So as I am sure you have already guessed based on the title of this thread and the previous paragraph, can anyone recommend some country music that is really worth a listen? (Oh Noes a recommendation thread sorry)

I apologize that I can't give more criteria as to why I don't like most country music. It just never hits my ears the right way I guess.

Any explanations? or should I just blindly listen? Not that I won't anyway. Thanks for the suggestions.

I really don't like country, as in CMT, but I am a big fan of Lambchop, which qualifies (I guess) as alt-country. Great lyrics, Kurt Wagner has a great voice, and with 13 musicians you can't go wrong... I guess "How I quit smoking" is my favorite by them, but Nixon, and Woman are also excellent.

If you are looking for something more intimate, there is this guy from Scotland called James Yorkston, he is a  freaking genious.
