We appreciate your prompt and thoughtful responses.

Typical.

One of the trifecta - Dog Days (remastered with bonus tracks), Omnibus (a live album), and Midnight in Mississippi. All three are tremendous. I grabbed the latter 2 on eMusic (I rejoined just to get them).

The Who Quadrophenia (twice) Neil Young & Crazy Horse Greendale

A link would be most appreciated.

Nothing wrong with that.

It's rather unfortunate that you gather your knowledge from the internet. You can come up with countless links to prove your point. Townes = country, folk, and blues. The categorization of "alt.country" doesn't fit here. Nice try, but your way off. Throw a 'D' on the beginning of the name too please.

Guys like Waylon, Willie, Johnny, etc. definitely did country music differently that what the Nashville-based studios were mass producing. Just because it was a different or alternative take on the country scene at the time, doesn't make it "alternative country" as it has become to be known as today. I'm sure their music influenced the music of many of the "alt.country" artists of the last few decades. But they (the dudes mentioned in the 1st sentence) are not part of the genre themselves. Just country musicians. And great ones at that.

If it meant more issues pushed or sites visited, he'd jump on in.
