Hey All,
Boy am I from the wrong side of the tracks with respect to this topic...
My music is simple, message laden (commonly), singable and danceable - not from high school or college or "high brow".
So a few examples - hope I don't offend...
My all-time favorite band - Reckless Kelly yeah Idaho Boys moved to Austin - now part of that Texas Red Dirt music scene. That is Willie Braun singin...

Ben Bullington - a country doctor from Montana - died of cancer a couple years ago...

I was born in 55 myself.
The Trishas - more Austin texas stuff - each of these women is an outstanding musician in their own right. Kelly Mickwee is lead singer here...

One more - Mandolin Orange - I can listen to Emily and Andrew for hours..

And then there is old country, new country, bluegrass, blues, cajun, rockabilly (yes Lucille!), french canadian, australian country, modern rock and pop creativity so much good stuff - I've no time to live in my past.
