I'll have go, saw these last year at Saltaire, wonderful.

Slightly more bluesy and its nearly there..

 

[Boon 51]

Forgot, saw 2 others there too, in fact I saw a lot of C&W in Saltaire, Malcolm Holcombe is very raw and was excellent, worth looking up some Youtube clips, but this woman was just jaw dropping, what a voice!

Superb...

I'll second that..

 

[MontyVeda]

grab yourself a copy of the Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack... that's got some good bluegrass type stuff on it.

My personal favourite is Johnny Paycheck's 60s Little Darlin' recordings but drinking, suicide, murder, world destruction and mental illness aren't everyone's cup of tea, takes all sorts!!!

Impossible to narrow it down but you can't go wrong with these, some modern, some trad...

Hank Williams
George Jones
Faron Young
Dale Watson
Dwight Yoakam

If you want bluegrass try

Flatt and Scruggs
Patty Loveless - Mountain Soul
Carl Jackson/John Starling - Spring Training
The Dillards - Almost Live
Seldom Scene - the anniversary album is a good one.

There's loads of good stuff but tons of shite too...

The good thing about country and western is that bagpipes are not involved.

 

[User169]

Excellent list from 3BM, but don't forget Buck Owens. Telepathic stuff here between Buck and Dangerous Don Rich..

As an aside, that song is v similar in theme to "Seven Drunken Nights"

I guess a lot of music travelled quite organically so I guess that would make sense.
