Haven't been here in a while, good thread. I'd enjoy reading reviews on:
Buck Owens - Discography
Townes Van Zandt - Discography
Waylon Jennings - The Taker/Tulsa or Lonesome, On'ry And Mean
Guy Clark - Old No. 1
David Allan Coe - Once Upon A Rhyme
Emmylou Harris - Elite Hotel
As for recent material, the genre's mainstream branch has essentially become a blend of pop-rock and overly polished country. Far too glossy and soulless for me personally, so the real gems lie in alt-country with acts such as Richard Buckner, Whiskeytown, 16 Horsepower, and so on leading the way.
