Others may qualify but the paradigm, the ones who basically started this are Raul Malo and The Mavericks (totally descriptive name). Been doing this for 30 years, Gringo recording history going back 24.

Take a look at this DVD: http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-in-au...0001367507 Raul Malo broke up the band and went solo for 1/2 decade but they are back together now (Mr. Malo's solo stuff: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/raul-malo...iscography << Look at his critical/fan ratings!).
