I like the Dixie Chicks' latest CD, but haven't purchased it yet. Haven't heard much of their other stuff.

Is Pat Green country?

I don't have much Texas swing, something I will remedy someday. Do have some "Asleep At The Wheel", but I can't remember if they're considered Texas swing or something else!

Tim McGraw...like most of his songs, don't like his voice. And after his latest hit...well, it bothers me. So...not sure I'd purchase something of his, though I do admire him as a song writer.

Thanks for the tips! I'll keep an eye out for Ricky Calmbach.

My general tastes (besides Celtic) run to stuff that's is what I think of as folk but that other people lump in with bluegrass or old time - Norman Blake, Doc Watson, and Allison Krauss who I would call bluegrass but who hardcore 'grassers call country. I'm so confoooosed!

Uhm, well, he's Texas country, which is different than Nashville country. You can sample some of his songs right here. My favorite is "Carry On".

Yes, they do a lot of Texas swing. Ricky Calmbach is very new, no big contract yet. Here's his website; you can hear samples of his music too. (Ain't the web wonderful?)

Which Tim McGraw song didn't you like? His CD "Everywhere" was from a few years ago, now. Have you heard any of Alan Jackson's songs? His latest CD "Drive" is really good!

I like old timey country & bluegrass best of all, although I'm more familiar with country than bluegrass...

Why, you could say I'm positively steeped in old-timey!

Sir SuziQ came home from the grocery store one night with their new CD for me. It is called "Home" and it is VERY good! Of course, I haven't had it in my CD player since that first night. First our daughter absconded with it, then he took it up to HIS office in the attic. He's gonna just have to burn a copy for me!
