Outlaw stuff - the 70s etc update on the honky-tonk sound including people like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson,

Charlie Rich especially the 60s Smash recordings and up to around '72.

Dolly Parton especially the early stuff talking about her poor background.

George Jones in general.

Honkytonk from its original era.

Western Swing Bob Wills, Milton Brown and so on.

Ernest Tubb's voice is a bit of an acquired taste but band is good.

Hank Williams should go without saying and I think the Drifting Cowboys were an archetypal band for what developed into rock.

Marty Robbins' gunfighter ballads and trail Songs. Great guitar throughout.

Jimmie Rodgers the early era#s greatest practitioner possibly, and pretty close to the blues.

Johnny Cash is also great and covers quite a bit of time.

will probably think of others if i put my mind to it
