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?

Monsters of Folk perhaps. Not sure I consider Wilco Alt-Country.
