Thanks. I do have "The Lonesome Song" CD, and it's great too. To clarify, I'm looking for the following qualities:
Authentic Country
Singer/Songwriter
Deep Voice
Attention to song craft--this is one of the things I love about Johnson. He pays attention to song beginnings and endings, and really builds the drama. His word choice is original, his phrasing and timing help to tell the story.
I'm pretty sure Waylon Jennings should be on my list. David Allan Cohe (sp?) as well. If you could just suggest the best Jennings, Hank Jr., Cohe, I'd probably be on the right track. Thanks again, guys.
