A Walk in The COUNTRY


I've always liked classic country like Hank and Bob Wills and Ernest Tubb. I also like contemporary "off the charts" country like Big Sandy and Wayne Hancock and Hank III. I've never liked the kind of "new" pop country they play on the radio. Recently I came across a relatively new country singer/songwriter named Jamey Johnson--I LOVE this guy's music!! Got the vinyl and the CD of "Guitar Song" (surprisingly well recorded) and I've been wearing it out! So here's my question: does anyone have any suggestions of country musicians from the 70s to today who sound like Jamey Johnson? It's often pegged as "outlaw" country, AKA Waylon and Hank Jr.. I'd like to build up my collection in this category. Thanks!

I don't know if it is exactly country, but I recommend Ian Tyson's solo efforts.

It is what I would call cowboy music. Try "Cowboyography" for a starter
