I havent listened to any of these other bands mentioned on this thread other than one song by Those Poor Bastards so I have a lot of listening to do.
Hah I use to be the exact same, I'd **** on anything other than Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson. I actually found out about Hank Williams III before Hank Williams Sr. which is a little embarrassing but better late then never.

I'll post some links for mix tapes I've made on the original post to help make it easier for neonates in this genre to find what they like and what they don't.

Quite the feat there, I think I'm up to 70+ files in there, and that doesn't count the stuff in my Megaupload folder. As far as where I get my music from... most of it comes from various sites like Google, Torrents, CD's, and blogs. There's a lot more out there, it's just a matter of knowing how to look for it.

Definitely, be sure to check out the mix tapes on the front page.
