Uncle Tupelo (sadly defunct as of 1994). Many of the alt.country/americana bands -- like some of those mentioned above -- owe a great deal to them. UT included Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) and Jay Farrar (Son Volt); in my estimation, their subsequent stuff has not been as inspiring.

For "newest and up and coming," try Two Cow Garage, out of Columbus Ohio. Pretty recently formed, on their third disc, and among the best working bands in America.

Bongofury:

If you like Earle, and haven't already, try Hayes Carll, "Trouble in Mind." Like the earlier Earle, maybe better.
