I was looking for a challenge and beej's listing of artists sure is it. I won't pick every one--my taste/choices kick in here somewhere.
Austin Lucas You'll forget he ain't a pretty boy about 4 bars into the first song...Modern topics poetically sung in traditional style. Let the Counter-Revolution begin! I'll let all them others capture the word "Country" and they can do what they want with it--but don't touch "Americana", "rural" or "roots" I mean "true roots". Here's his Site: http://www.austinlucasmusic.com/ << On one of the best labels going--New West. Here's a review of his newest which is also a capsule bio: http://www.allmusic.com/album/stay-reckl...0002562393 << citizen reviewer fans at the Usual Suspect are especially swoony about this--his 3 CDs in 5 years showed great growth. May this gem not get highly polished and never sugar-coat the truths told.
Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9T3OUKXbnw << Got you already, doesn't he?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNcIY5_hH9o << Another back-seat number << sometimes darkness is a blessing...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFK9zkLQ1Eo << Any excuse or no excuse at all to break out the guitar and have at it...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s10bKv2D8qk << He has a deep affection for Prague, Czech Republic, having lived there and toured around Europe from there for 5 years. Remarkable gent.

A man accustomed to hear only the echo of his own sentiments, soon bars all the common avenues of delight, and has no part in the general gratification of mankind--Dr. Johnson
