Audiophile grade country

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).

Actually quite a bit of country music is well recorded. You probably can't go too far wrong with most. Just pick an artist or three and go for it.

Jamey Johnson "That Lonesome Song" a country concept album of sorts.
