well to me
LadiesMan has a good list (via Sawmill apparently).
I saw Marty does also, and gets a thumbs up just for mentioning Wayne Raney!!!
Some more recent (80s-forward) artists that I highly recommend;
Dwight Yoakum
Dale Watson
The Flatlanders -together and ...
solo.... Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, Butch Hancock
Kelly Willis
Robbie Fulks
BR5-49
Radney Foster
many, many more....
I didn't list songs because these artists make consistently good music and the discovery of what YOU like is half the fun.
If you want real country try: Kevin Fowler, Charlie Robison, Max Stalling, Robert Earl Kenn, Randy Rogers Band, Roger Creager, Jason Allen, Stoney LaRue, Mark McKinney, Jack Ingram, Eli Young Band, Bart Crow Band, Doug Moreland, Drew Kennedy.
What ladyman said, lol, I agree about this new stuff, Bubbly is not country at all.
I have to agree with the long list of songs from the "old" country artists.
well she is like 2% like Taylor Swift (and i think Taylor swift is a-w-e-s-o-m-e!) the singer is Carrie Underwood:
Songs:
Jesus Take the Wheel
Before he Cheats
So small
those r someof her songs u can find more of them on : www.yahoo.com/music
