Best Country/Rock - Poll


I recently started picking up more and more music I would loosely describe as "country/rock". A couple of recent purchases (namely Jackson Brown "Solo Acoustic", and Gene Clarke & Carla Olson "So Rebelious a Lover") caused me to look for a "Best Country/Rock" thread for more ideas. I couldn't find one, so I'm starting one here.

General guidelines
1) Don't hang up on what is country rock. If you think it is, ok.
2) Identify particularly well recorded , but don't leave anything off if it's good.
3) No limit or minimum - name your favorites.

Here are some of my my favorites in no particular order:
(* = excellent recording)

Gene Clark: "No Other" * and "White Lightening" *
Gene Clarke @ Carla Olson "So Rebelious a Lover"
Jackson Brown "Solo Acoustic" *
Willie Nelson "Stardust" SACD *
Neil Young "Prairie Wind" *
Cowboy Junkies - most all of their stuff, but especially "One Soul Now" , "Lay it Down" , "Mile From Our Home". "Trinity Sessions" *

Haha, didn't notice the date! Oh well, not the dumbest thing I've done by far...
American Flyer is one of my favorites, but it's a little hard to find. I'm pretty sure it was made up of some of the Pure Prairie League guys before they became more well known.
Shurman is good. I agree with Joe Henry. Not sure if Jeff Talmadge is a fit, but I like him. Don Henry is great, too. Turnpike Troubadours, 2 Dollar Pistols, Whitey Morgan, Jason Isbell, Boxmasters, etc.
I saw the Ozark Mountain Daredevils at a high school football field in Ozark in the early 90's. Several member's families were there. They hung around and talked after the show, very nice people, great vibe!

They qualify to me.
Also, David Allen Cole was great to see. I strategically bought some pitchers for tables near me just in case.

The old saying is 'I was at a fight and a DAC concert broke out.'
