Good country music.
Just looking for some more country music, I've been downloading stuff when it comes to mind, but I know there is a lot I am overlooking.
Here's what I have as of now: Toby Keith-Greatest Hits, Vols. I & II Tim McGraw-Greatest Hits, Vols. I & II(Vol. I>>>>Vol. II) Johnny Cash-Every album Garth Brooks-The Hits Dixie Chicks-Home Mostly looking for greatest hits, but other stuff is good too. I was into country when when I was about 6-10, so I know a lot of stuff that is between 5-10 years old. Thanks.

Re: Good country music.
I'm partial to Texas Country. Pat Green is the most mainstream of the bunch, but also look into Jerry Jeff Walker and Robert Earl Keen. I also really like Kevin Fowler, but his twang is so pronounced I can understand others being turned off.

To add to RDH's list - Charlie Robison. I like him alot. Also, check out Shooter Jennings (Waylon's son), he's very good.

[/ QUOTE ] i saw the Rascal Flatts on some award show and my impression was "oh god, it's like a country boy band full of guys who were jocks in high school" of course, that was based solely on about 30 seconds of airtime and could be completely wrong edit: try Kathleen Edward or Steve Earle or any of the old alt.country acts like early Wilco, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, and Whiskeytown

Re: Good country music.
all phonem. acts...
a little more - two of those early influences credit Townes Van Zandt - get a greatest hits album or I'll find one for ya to buy that's good. Hank Williams was country - Jr. is ok too but I get tired of the redneck stuff sometimes rb

Re: Good country music.
a common theme here is - avoid most of the "big" artists on country radio now...it's not real country anymore, it's alot more "adult contemporary". if you want real country check into these great artists - and dig deep, they have alot of great songs that arent all on "greatest hits" packages:
merle haggard waylon jennings george strait willie nelson hank williams jr. dwight yoakam to a lesser extent - by this I mean a greatest hits package will do just fine, but dont think that this means that the quality of the music is less than that of the above list - there's just less of it: joe diffie mark chesnutt billy ray cirus charlie daniels band *edited for clarity
