Audiophile grade country

I have several Dwight Yoakam CD's and they're all very well recorded. He moves among several styles of country but some of it is definitely honky-tonk.

Nottinhillbillies the country project of Mark Knophler on CD. Expencive rarity though...

Wayne "The Train" Hancock has a really well recorded live album titled "Swing Time". If you haven't heard his stuff, I highly recommend it.

A lot of Merle Haggards stuff is well recorded and he has always had a great band.

I like many well recorded Americana albums that have wonderful soundstaging and beautiful seperation of vocals and instruments. I can highly recommend CDs and LPs
by Dave Alvin (Ashgrove), Lucinda Williams (her last five albums are brilliant), Jenny Lewis (Acid Tongue), Ryan Adams (Cold Roses), Neko Case (Cyclone) Steve Earle (Jerusalem), Willie Nelson (Teatro).
