I was actually thinking of starting a thread like this myself.

I'd say that along with the Byrds' Sweetheart Of the Rodeo either one of his albums are the best starting point for anyone looking to get into country rock. True, I don't exactly know an awful lot about the stuff, but he's definitely my favourite of the classic country rock bunch (followed closely by Emmylou Harris).

Picking a favourite's difficult, but I'd probably go with Grievous Angel (despite my putting his debut in my top 100). End-to-end great stuff - as you mentioned it's the stylistic variation which keeps you intrigued.
