Top 10 Alt-country bands

http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2013/04/alt_country_best_bands.php

Attached is an URL for an interesting article in the Dallas paper about the Alt-country sub-genre. I really like most of these bands. If you don't dance to the Gourds, you don't have a spine. I would add Alejandro Escovedo and Steve Earle to this group. Any other alt-country artists of note?

Jeffrey Foucault and Cold Satellite are a must ....Stripping Cane and Ghost Repeater would be the two places to begin...

IMHO. that's a very good list. Id say that the Biggest misses are Escovedo, The Delevantes, and The Reivers.

good list. in addition to the others listed above, i'd add lucinda, richard buckner (my fave), blue mountain, driveby truckers, richmond fontaine and handsome family. also jason and the scorchers and foster & lloyd, whose "faster & louder" might be the best record in the whole canon.
