Dwight's good.
I think some of the people in the alt country scene are good. Try Lucinda Williams or Jim White.
Willie Nelson has done some wonderful stuff over the years. So did Johnny Cash.
Of course the best country is old country. Like Hank Williams and Merle Travis and Ernest Tubb.

wow. i didn't think anyone liked country and western music? i just thought it was some conspiracy theory set up by record labels to give people they felt sorry for a job.

Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys will teach you where a lot of rock 'n' roll came from.

oddly for an english guy, I like quite a few country guys, mainly because I'm a guitarist and some of the best guitarists are Nashville session players.
People like james burton, Albert Lee, Brent Mason but they're just guitar.I like a few current guys like Brad Paisley (great guitar player too), vince gill, all pretty cheesy but I respect the musicianship that comes out of nashville. I also like some of the newer bluegrass (or 'nu-grass' as it gets called). People like Nickel Creek can be pretty good. Bela fleck it amazing if you like banjos. Or check out Punch Brothers.
But hey, I'm english, what do I know about country music!

I like a bit of Steve Earl, Jim White, Howe Gelb..... not entirely sure any of them are "country". I find it's pretty loose term. There's really fucking awful music out there labeled as such.... and some great stuff.
