My Morning Jacket.
An amazing, underrated and commercially ignored band that mix country/southern rock with pretty much every other genre going. The lead singer Jim James has an absolutely stunning voice, and is also a "weird crush" of mine... http://www.google.com/imgres?q=jim+j...w=1280&bih=636 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=jim+j...w=1280&bih=636 Some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFsNePTw29I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybC1Dh4Jxw0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEgkgCgRFII http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol2XM8RQi_Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohE3Dm9H0_g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnOa4...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OMpaFvTOFk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHkfMpOQfBc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1NaC1SsCPo Just some of their best, but they have many many more amazing songs. Hope this helps

Carrie Underwood is a treat.
The Band Perry's album is awesome. If I die young is such a beautiful song. |

I recommend Revolution by Miranda Lambert. Its an excellent album, very accessible. Also Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party. A couple of my favourite albums of the last couple of years Easton Corbins debut album and the last Billy Currington album.

Another overlooked artist who is very talented is Matraca Berg often a session songwriter for others but she does have a few albums of her own, her new album The Dreaming Fields is really good. My hubby is in the music industry and he was lucky enough to work with her some years back.

Patsy Cline
Considered a Legend among the Country music world. Sadly she died very young at age 30 |
