Country Music anyone? Country Music Awards?

I have slowly been getting into American country music or the borderline stuff, many the female vocalist, I think I’m a sucker for that southern draw blonde haired singer!

Just wondering if anyone else is that way inclined so to speak? Anyone see the Country music awards on late last night? Sheryl Crow performed a duet with a guy at the end of the night which I really enjoyed not sure who he was and what the song was, anyone know?

A bit of googling suggests the song was 'Building Bridges' with Vince Gill

i'm really into Ryan Adams he did 2 country style albums last year and i guess that got me started with Jonny Cash, just listen to 'The Wreckers' album which is pretty good... gonna give a few artists a blast

You should check out Gram Parsons (if you haven't already), he pretty much defined Adams' style of alt-country. Also Sweetheart of the Rodeo by the Byrds (when Parsons was a member).

I am a big fan of The Be Good Tanyas, who are another alt-country/folk group you may like.

For more purist country stuff check out Keith Urban and Willie Nelson

edit: You might also like to check out Brooks & Dunn who did the original Building Bridges

thanks mate, yeah quite like Gram Parsons, and just got the Willie Nelson album he did with Ryan Adams, saw Ryan Adams 5 times this year and def have the taste for alt country! cheers for the tips i will check them out, can you recommend a good gram parsons album? i have his best off, but would like a good album

cheers again Jim

the GP/Grievous Angel double album is his best imo ($1000 wedding, and Love Hurts being the best tracks for my money)
