Another country music fan checking in.
I can't believe this thread has reached over 100 posts without any mention of Emmylou Harris. She is one of my favorite creative/performing artists of any kind. Her voice is amazing--beautiful in a heartbreaking way. I love virtually everything she's ever done--she's remade herself artistically more than once--but I like her uber-traditional, Nash Ramblers era recordings the best of all.
Other country favorites of mine: Nanci Griffith, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, Jerry Douglas, Uncle Earl, Alison Krauss, and of course the late Johnny Cash.
