The Highwaymen
the ultimate country supergroup: Johnny, Willie, Waylon, and Kris. Highly recommend their live album, American Outlaws .
John R. Miller
his newest album, Heat Comes Down, is maybe a little less straight-up country, but it is excellent songwriting.
Colter Wall
Western Swing & Waltzes; Little Songs
Wilco - in the early years, they had some more "traditional" country sounds A.M.
As others have said, you can't go wrong with John Prine or Townes van Zandt.
Bonus NRPS, Gram Parsons, and Merle Haggard
