Great country recording


Hi all, I am looking for some great country recording albums by various artists. Really like the sound of steel guitar, acoustic guitar, fiddle, and of course vocals. Any recommendations? Thanks

I am an Emmylou Harris fan first and foremost. I have run into some gems from other artists though. Years ago I bought a Willie Nelson cd "Across The Boarderline". It was  produced by Don Was, Paul Simon, and Roy Halee. It includes songs written by Paul Simon (Graceland), Ry Cooder (Across The Boarderline), John Hiatt ( "Most Unoriginal Sin" ), Peter Gabriel (Don't Give Up), Bob Dylan, ("What Was It You Wanted")  Lyle Lovett "Farther Down the Line" ), and Willie. Decent recording and I think an overlooked cover album. Willie is a unique treasure. 
John Prine's "In Spite of Ourselves" Duet album of classic tunes with many of the greatest female stars

Some great additions above.

Rhonda Vincent is FANTASTIC! I saw her live at the Coachella Music Festival in 2014, I think it was. She’s a fantastic fiddler and singer, with a real fine band. She has albums going back decades, available for peanuts.

I saw Dolly backed by Alison Krauss and Union Station (I lived two blocks from the NBC studio in Burbank, and walked to the taping), so got to hear not only Dolly sing live, but also Alison and Jerry Douglas (her dobro player, and the father of a kid they made together) from only twenty feet away (I was in the balcony directly above the stage).

Alison’s guitarist/mandolin player/harmony singer Dan Tyminski (he sings "Man Of Constant Sorrow" in O Brother Where Art Thou) has a pair of good solo albums.

Wanda Jackson (mentioned in a post of mine above) has a pair of recent albums that may be of interest to you youngins, as they were produced and recorded by Jack White. He also produced a "comeback" album with Loretta Lynn, which I didn’t care for but you may.

Patty Loveless is right at the line where Country and Bluegrass meet. She has great taste in material, is a real good singer, and surrounds herself with the best musicians. Highly recommended!
