Some people call what your describing is "Alt Country".
You would probably like Emmylou Harris. Three to start out with would be:
"All The Road Running" New collaboration w Mark Knopfler. This is an outstanding new release... The proverbial trifecta w great writing, music and sonics.
"Roses in the Snow" This has an appalachian feel that's very melodic.
"Blue Kentucky Girl" A little more country.
You also might like Gram Parsons writing ... also some of Neil Young and early 70's Rolling Stones stuff is of this ilk.
