Johnny Cash is incredible. And his stuff can fall into a number of different genres, especially considering he had like a 40 year career.

 

Earlier stuff = Country

Most Recent Stuff = Folk

 

There's the occasional bluegrass/gospel sound in the midst of everything as well.

I've grown up on country....I love Garth Brooks above all, but lately I've really been enjoying Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley. They're all pretty good, Tim McGraw is a great songwriter, and Brad Paisley just loves to have fun in his music. It's great.

ps, Cash was rock/country when he first started, I mean, he toured with Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley in the beginnings of their careers.

I would class Johnny Cash as folk.

Tim Mcgraw is actually a really good songwriter, he has some good lyrics.

What about Dixie chicks.. they did a good cover of Landslide by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Mrs. Jesus, I have to agree with you. I seriously thought that everyone knew it was a Fleetwood Mac song, sung by the great Stevie Nicks who also wrote it.

 

I may love the Smashing Pumpkins, but their cover is SHIT.

Tim McGraw is a talentless hack. It must be so luxurious to have someone write a song for you about your own Dad dying. His wife is equally appalling, as she doesn't bring anything interesting to the table either. I think the two of them should perhaps die in a nice plane crash together simply for having the nerve to classify themselves as "The new Johnny and June."

 

Johnny Cash is a definition of country. He has cowritten songs with Bob Dylan for one of his many theme albums throughout the sixties and seventies, but even those could easily be classified as country and not folk. If you'd like to say his first two albums under the Sun label were rockabilly, I could agree, but with over 100 albums of material that have been highly influential in not only country music but music as a whole, saying he's folk is off. However, pick up "Songs of Our Soil" to come close.

 

When it comes to artists who are still alive, Dwight Yoakum has been fairly solid his whole career and is faithful to the roots of country music. The same can also be said of Brad Paisley, though he normally takes advantange of the novelty song. Nickel Creek is also a favorite. Their recording quality and playing ability is excellent.

 

My wife enjoys the Dixie Chicks, but I find them above average at this point. I'm a sucker for anything Willie Nelson touches because is voice is like water and that sounds great on my system.

He also did a cover of "When The Stars Go Blue" which adds nothing new to the song and was already covered by The Corrs (with Bono). And Faith Hill did that horrible Janis Joplin cover...it goes on and on.

 

Oh, this thread's about favorite country artists...crap.
