Top 10 Alt-country bands

Attached is an URL for an interesting article in the Dallas paper about the Alt-country sub-genre. I really like most of these bands. If you don't dance to the Gourds, you don't have a spine. I would add Alejandro Escovedo and Steve Earle to this group. Any other alt-country artists of note?

Noted, the reason people have posted for a favorite band, if it belongs on the best ever list or not, is to make others aware of a band they might not know about, so they can pick up that bands music, not to actually ARGUE.

Then you come along and kick everyone in the groin, but have nothing of any value to add to the discussion.

What kind of person acts like that?
You all should listen to The Wood Brothers, all three of their studio albums are awesome !!! Great live band too !! I've seen them twice.
Agree about the Wood Brothers, awesome band for the un-initiated, but I would not consider them "alt- country".
Alternative country is hard to define. Even current Bluegrass could be considered alternative country. When Nashville praises Taylor Swift but considers Rhonda Vincent the red headed stepchild? FWIW I don't consider The Jayhawks or Wilco alt-country!
