Not a big country fan... but...
The old Lyle lovet (when he played with a big band) and old Dwight Yokum (SP?) [guitars Cadillacs, etc.] and Willy Nelson.
I was channel surfing and caught something on CMT called "country outlaws", it wasn't too bad but it also wasn't country music, more like old rock 'N roll
Just for balance let me say I like Miles Davis and Charley Bird too.
