Great country recording


Hi all, I am looking for some great country recording albums by various artists. Really like the sound of steel guitar, acoustic guitar, fiddle, and of course vocals. Any recommendations? Thanks

Allison Krauss is always a good bet and her later albums like "So Long So Wrong" are extremely well recorded with very well done arrangements. Agree with the recommendation of Dwight Yoakum, he manages to combine the core of country music's appeal with very sophisticated presentation and exceptional production.
I'm a big Buddy Miller fan, first encountered him when he was, supposedly, the opening act for Emmylou Harris at Benaroya Hall in Seattle. But the show was really the Buddy and Julie Miller show with Emmylou Harris. One of my all time favorite performances, despite less than ideal acoustics. 

If you don't have his "Cayamo Sessions At Sea" album with an amazing collection of collaborators, it's a must. The sonics of all his recordings are exceptional, as well.
