Am I late to the Zac Brown & Jamey Johnson party?



Having recently discovered a few ‘new to me’ performers, I thought to enter them here and see of these if anyone can suggest other similarly related musicians, song writers, or bands, performing now.

Those I have run across and liked enough to buy a few of their individual CDs are Jamey Johnson “That Lonesome Song”… Zac Brown Band “The Foundation” & “You Get What You Give”… Reina Collins “Austin to Boston” & “Saltwater Soul”.

Each of these are IMHO related and separate. Gems in their own rights. All completely enjoyable and satisfying.

I’m most curious to find out other bands akin to the Zac Brown, ‘roadhouse’ genre, that are as accomplished and as tight a sound as ZBB has to offer…. ZBB is definitely on time and unquestionably professional with their sound and abilities..

Thanks

Suggestions…???

Zacs been so overexposed its pathetic. I have albums from both and Zacs guitar playing live is something you should go see if you have a chance but his POP stardom is just too much too quick and its turning off many people (Imus included).
Johnson however is IMO the real deal and worth the price of admission, his songs for the most part have a heart and soul that is for the most part sincere and his style of country would serve us much better than the bubblegum water dilluted crap that fills the country airwaves.
Imus has a "aquired" taste in music IMO, his music is like Scotch.......there is no half way liking it.
