Deadstring Brothers – Sacred Heart

From the album “Starving Winter Report”. They have kind of a Whiskeytown/Stones sound. Entire CD is great.

Son Volt on Austin City Limits

Good sound and video.

Man, that was hard putting them in alphabetical order. This is by no means a “Best Of” list. Some of these might not even be Alternative Country. I’ve got more CD’s I could have grabbed but these made the cut. I’ve got a lot of listening to do. Excuse me while I slip on my headphones.
