Although not from the old school class I feel compelled to include Alan Jackson (class of circa 1990), in this mix. Specifically his cover album "Under the Influence" which are remakes of some of his favorite inspirations from the old days - hence the tie to this discussion. This album really highlights his abilities as a singer. I also feel it was recorded/mixed very well. There are some who don't really care for him but most of them agree they like him in this album.
A Walk in The COUNTRY
I've always liked classic country like Hank and Bob Wills and Ernest Tubb. I also like contemporary "off the charts" country like Big Sandy and Wayne Hancock and Hank III. I've never liked the kind of "new" pop country they play on the radio. Recently I came across a relatively new country singer/songwriter named Jamey Johnson--I LOVE this guy's music!! Got the vinyl and the CD of "Guitar Song" (surprisingly well recorded) and I've been wearing it out! So here's my question: does anyone have any suggestions of country musicians from the 70s to today who sound like Jamey Johnson? It's often pegged as "outlaw" country, AKA Waylon and Hank Jr.. I'd like to build up my collection in this category. Thanks!
