1. George Strait- The man hasn't made a bad song or album yet.

2. Dwight Yoakim- The champion of Buck Owens and the Bakersfield Sound.

3. Alan Jackson- Keepin' Honky Tonk alive.

4. Ricky Skaggs-There isn't any area of country music this guy hasn't
covered or can't do well.

5. Tracy Lawrence-A perfect blend of traditional and contemporary styles.

I'm bored, so here's my updated list...

Gram Parsons
Possibly my favourite country singer-songwriter ever, he's been involved with some of the best albums of all time and been partly responsible for the directions that outlaw/alternate country took.

Emmylou Harris
My favourite 'country lady' who boasts a great voice and a good know-how of how to write effective, stylistically varied country rock tunes. Wrecking Ball is a top album too.

Gene Clark
One of the main songwriters behind the classic Byrds lineup. He has this interesting, Dylanesque (very lyric-centric and folky) slant on the country style he opts for. White Light's a classic album as well.

Guy Clark
More traditional than what I usually listen to, but that approach lets the lyrics grab your attention more which, given his knack for such things, is a great thing. His grainy kinda voice gives them that much more edge as well.

Townes Van Zandt
From what I've heard of him, his style is very similar to early Cohen and John Wesley Harding-era Dylan with more of a country vibe about it. Sounds a lot like most of the modern alternate country I've heard, which is quite something seeing as his debut came out in '69.

Thinking classic country artists (and not people like Mark Knopfler), my list looks like :

Jerry Reed
Earl Scruggs
Johnny Cash
Willie Nelson

aaand ..

Hank Williams Sr.

I think that's the way it goes, at least at the moment.

I absolutely love Emmylou Harris! I don't take to a female country voice too often, but I make an exception for her. There is this song by Emmylou that I am HOOKED on right now. If you haven't heard it, put this on your list. Its off of the album "Honeysuckle Rose" (an album I've been meaning to review for sometime) and its called "So You Think You're A Cowboy".

Some stellar choices there Tore. I'm impressed.
