Kirky Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Someone mentioned Vincent Gill -check out The Time Jumpers featuring him and Dawn Sears and lots of other great players. Their song "Faint of Heart" is one of the best new songs I've heard in years. I also agree with those who say lol to the past - Hank Williams wrote some absolute classics.

davidpike Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks all for your suggestions. My ipod is now stacked with a real mix of stuff to listen to in the car (I spent nearly 5 hours in the car today!) and I'm getting a fairly broad (if shallow) country education. A special thanks to JapanAxe for his suggestion to listen to Bob Harris' radio 2 show. Iplayer, here we come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassnut62 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I was allergic to country for 30 years too; but it won me over eventually....through funk, strangely enough... Check out an obscure funk artist called Bad Bascomb and a 7" called Funk City (b/w Crocodile) - it has country in it, which blew the gates off the hinges for me at the time Nobody seems to have mentioned Johnny Cash yet....his Live at Folsom Prison LP is a great piece of country blues. I think George Jones's guitar playing is overlooked sometimes too....what he can do with a Tele is damn cool. Of course Glen Campbell is a killer guitarist too and some of the songs are great, if you can hear past the schmalz. Kris Kristofferson is a great country writer and artist too.
