alt country -
Son Volt's Trace is awesome. So is the Uncle Tupelo Anthology, though you probably know of them...
Vigilantes of Love - particularly Audible Sigh and To The Roof of The Sky - (may be available from his site at
www.billmallonee.net)
I see Holly Williams has an album out I wanna check that sounds ok - the Granddaughter of Hank Williams...
Whiskeytown's last album, Pnumenonia (I took my handle from them)
more will come to mind...

On an off note, my favorite musician is an English Folk Singer named Kate Rusby...anyone who buys her album 10 will probably fall in love with her... - hell, you can download it on her site
