Great country recording

These lists are a treasure trove of what has become known as Americana. 

Two legends and top-notch remastering:

- Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys: Legends of Country Music compilation 2006; Columbia/Legacy (Sony/BMG); magnificent 4 CD box or single disc The Best Of; Country Music AND Rock and Roll hall of fame inductee.

- Hank Williams: The Ultimate Collection 2002; Mercury Records, division of UMG; 2 CD compilation has all a casual listener would ever want. It's Hank....nuff said.

I've listened to a few releases by those artists and have yet to hear anything rivaling their sound quality.

Porter Wagner
Nancy sinatra "country my way"
Earl Scruggs
Conway twitty ( if not already mentioned, especially duets with Loretta Lynn)
Webb pierce
Stonewall jackson
Hank snow
Don gibson
Little Jimmy Dickens
Bill monroe
Jim reeves
Tanya Tucker
Jessie colter
Jodie Miller
Roy acuff
Dottie west

So many of the artists mentioned are ones I enjoy listening to.  I am impressed that two people mentioned Kasey Chambers.  I enjoy her music, though anyone I have talked to about her said they can’t stand her child-like voice.  That, to me, is part of her charm.  And Emmylou Harris is great to listen to anytime.  

  Pony by Kasey Chambers is one of my fav guilty pleasures... and it sounds damn good too !
