You know, Country & Western!
This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.

Abner Jay - Cocaine Blues
Died in 1993 - what are the chances someone recorded him, but it happened.
Roy Buchanan—“Hey Joe”
Many thanks to countryandwestern for reminding me of one of the greatest bluesman who ever lived. If nothing else, Roy B. taught me, as a 13 year-old, to truly appreciate the righteous noise that a Fender Telecaster makes. Buchanan died under mysterious circumstances in the Fairfax County jail in 1988.
It’s blues, but the twang streetcalledstraight hears is in the Tele. I just picked mine up after about a 6 year absence. Can’t play it for a lick. Yet.
