Ray Wylie Hubbard is an excellent artist and clever lyricist. Billy Joe Shaver was an incredible songwriter. His son Eddy was his guitarist until he died of an OD. Eddy was a blistering guitarist and had a helluva bright future in front of him. He was trained by Dickie Betts.If we're going back farther Billy Joe Shaver, Steve Earle, David Allen Coe. Edited to add Ray Wylie Hubbard.
I was on high school in the 90's and country music was pretty good. Went downhill after I think. The best years were Waylon, willie, coe cash, etc. Don Edwards, r.w., Ian Tyson, ledoux are all fantastic as well.Love all the classic and original outlaw guys and gals. 80's and 90's country was pretty good and all around fun music. Since then it is very spotty. There are some good new guys if you look at their entire catalog but sometimes what gets played on the radio isn't indicative of there entire work. Even most people that say they like Waylon, Willie, Merle, Hank Jr etc. Like their most popular songs. Like when Johnny Cash died and 90% of people played 3 songs on a loop: Ring of Fire, Folsom Prison, and Boy Named Sue and couldn't name another one.
I'll lump Western Music in with it...
Don Edwards
Jarrod Morris
Dave Starney
Chris Ledoux
Ned Ledoux
Ed Bruce
Red Steagall
R.W. Hampton
some love for the gals also:
Hailey Whitters
Sierra Ferrell
Ashley Mcbryde
Suzy Boggus
Lainey Wilson
Just as well add Florida Georgia Line. Lots of sarcasm by the way.No Eric Church fans on here?
I always found it interesting that a lot of country artists don't write their own songs. Willie, Dolly and Hank Sr. made a ton of money off of songs that they never recorded.I have a good friend whose son has written a ton of songs for a lot of the artists on this list, whether they be ones you guys love or hate. I have to laugh when everyone cracks on Eric Church, he's made my friend's son a ton of money over the years.

Florida George Line and Cardi B have also made other people lots of money... Doesn't mean I like their songs.I have a good friend whose son has written a ton of songs for a lot of the artists on this list, whether they be ones you guys love or hate.
