I love Family Guy and the cutaways are fantastic but when Louis was having a go at Peter and they went to a cutaway which I believe was this clip it lasted to long for me
agree with many if the recommendations above. Also some of Emmylou Harris's recent stuff. All I intended to be is a great album and not at all cheesy. Travis Tritt can be great. Check out his live stuff on YouTube. Richard Murray (no not our Richard Murray) - two great albums. Desert wind and borealis.
Oops. Forgot to mention Glen Campbell's see you there album. Put together after his Alzheimer's kicked in using vocals recorded during his last recording sessions. Some really poignant versions of his hits. A very different and tear jerking version of rhinestone cowboy.
Got into the whole Alt:country thing when I saw "come down from the mountain" the documentry film of the concert from the stars of "oh Brother where art thou".
That made me seek out the film of "oh brother" which is of course brilliant.

Knew you were a man of taste
Of course, you've met me : - )
For some current UK Alt:country check out Danny and the Champions of the world and Grand Drive.
It's the biggest and most popular music genre every free up with CM bing played in my house everyday My dad was/is one of the top country music journos sold his magazine rights a couple of years ago still takes tours out to the UsA and still in touch with willie Nelson Dr Hook Kenny Rogers Merle Haggerd etc. Funnily enough I don't listen to CM these days!!
This is a great, great series of CDs - epxensive over here at $25 a pop - so I am building my collection slowly. Well worth checking out if you are interested in the evolution of the genre year by year. Best liner notes ever as well
I have never given country music much notice personally. However I have been trying to change that cos most country songs that I have listen to I have liked. still haven't got round to buying much apart from hank Williams and johnny cash.
I have however given gospel/bluegrass music a lot of notice over the last couple of years and have bought some pretty good albums in those two genres.
