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?

The recommendations keep coming. As I mentioned before, this genre is pretty broad. I really like the new disc from the Tim Lee 3- Devil's Rope. Tim Lee is 1/2 of the 80's band the Windbreakers. The Tim Lee 3 is Tim, his wife Susan, and a drummer. They are based in Tennessee and their sound is country/garage rock with great harmonies and a jangly Rickenbaker lead guitar. Samples available on amazon or their website.

Shovel and Rope are an awesome duo. Check them out on YouTube. My wife and I saw them in concert a few months back and they blew the entire crowd away!
