Top 10 Alt-country bands

http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2013/04/alt_country_best_bands.php

Attached is an URL for an interesting article in the Dallas paper about the Alt-country sub-genre. I really like most of these bands. If you don't dance to the Gourds, you don't have a spine. I would add Alejandro Escovedo and Steve Earle to this group. Any other alt-country artists of note?

Junior Brown is sensational, maybe more "retro" than "alt."
Heybale is also quite good. Amanda Pearcy's second CD, "Royal Street" is very good and worth checking out.
These are all local Austin people and that's all I know much about lately.

I LOVE the Wood Bros., but I also would not have thought of including them in a list of country artists. I'll have to ponder that...
