@reubent, music as good as David Balls’ "Thinkin’ Problem" is what I hope to hear every time I listen to a new supposedly-Country artist. Guys like him don’t show up very often.
@gosta, Rodney Crowell has made a number of great albums in addition to Diamonds & Dirt. I’m partial to his autobiographical The Houston Kid album, and his new Christmas Everywhere album is on its way to me directly from his current label New West Records (home to other superior artists including John Hiatt, Richard Thompson, Steve Earle, and the great Buddy Miller).
