So after getting XM radio when I bought a new car (see my trip report) I have discovered I really like country. But not just country, Old School Western Country. The only artists in this genre I know are Merl Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie, Hank Sr., alittle Kenny Rogers, and that about ends it for me. Please peoples, recommend me some good music. I like the soulful almost depressing pure country sound.

I don't really like any new "country", but some of the better "newer" stuff is Dwight Yoakam, The Mavericks, The Derailers, Steve Earle, and Jesse Dayton.

For some real old school you might want to try Woody Guthrie (most famous for "This Land Is Your Land", but quite a few lyrics have been deleted in the elementary school version.
