My parents wonder why I don't like country...
Inlander:
Ooh! Ooh! I just thought of another one! "The Mountain" by Steve Earle. If you don't like the title track from that album, then there's a good chance that country's just not for you.
j7:
new country is crap-tastic. johnny has been mentioned several times already, so some others to check out:
willie nelson
merle haggard
patsy cline
the carter family (with or without johnny)
carl perkins
marty robbins
etc..
Cpt.Fantastic:
Right, going back to 5, the girl sat next to me is going to beat me up but, feminism is bullshit
KharBevNor:
The problem with feminism is it falls into the trap of every other absolutist philosophy in that it want's to make absolutely everything about itself. This is especially pronounced in feminist criticism, which can reach the same level of absurdity as marxist criticism: Not every book is about male oppression and the female struggle to escape it. Just the same as every book is not about class struggle, or racial war.
Anyway, country!
Pengraffe:
Inlander, I like all of your suggestions, but I must point out that you are blending genres a bit: that particular Dolly Parton album, Allison Krauss and Bill Monroe are all "bluegrass." I personally <3 bluegrass and despise most of what is being produced in Nashville currently. Also, props to you for knowing who Iris Dement is. Steve Earle is known as a badass of southern rock more than country really. And for the person that likes the Carter Family: Check out "The Whites," they are a family with a similar dynamic sound.
edit: I grew up in Tennessee living around bluegrass and country musicians, and Ricky Skaggs is one of the nicest men I've ever met, not to mention the musical godson of Bill Monroe.
