I have been a DY fan from day one and PM was one his finest works. The overblown drama draws me in over and over. I often wonder if he’s laughing to himself as he creates pieces that seem to almost poke fun at his genre. No matter, he is always top of my list. The title track is genius. I was happy to see Darius Rucker’s liner notes give him a shout-out. Underplayed on radio, but well-loved by his die-hard fans.

I too am a Dwight Yoakam fan since the 80′s. Have albums, cds, and a lot of articles on his career. I’m glad to see that he is still getting awards. He deserves them.

CAN’T get enough Dwight, have all his stuff (cd’s,dvd’s,cassettes,LP’s,etc.) Love Patty Loveless !!! …and totally agree with MilkingBull, the Dixie Chicks (a.k.a. DCX) should be high on the list also. Keep doing it guys and we’ll keep listening..thx…your loyal fans = )

I too am pumped for this list. :)

I would have also placed Evans’ Real Fine Place album higher (it’s one of my favorites of all time), but of course, I don’t have as much widespread country music knowledge as these guys. :)

I recently re-listened to Dolly’s Halos & Horns and fell in love with it, it’s AMAZING.

I have the Loveless album on my iTunes, but have yet to listen to it.

I also rented the Clark CD from my library.. waiting on it now. :)

I really like the Loveless, Clark, and Yoakam albums. Looking forward to the rest of this list too.

I forgot to mention another album I consider is top ten material, the soundtrack from Brockeback Mountain.

This is one of the most underrated country albums of the decade maybe because of the movie theme, it’s sad that nobody talked/talks about it.

Argentinian producer/songwriter/musician Gustavo Santaolalla made a true country album, that combines simplicity with strength in a beautiful way.

Please listen Emmylou Harris’ “A Love That Will Never Grow Old” or Mary McBride’s “No One’s Gonna Love You Like Me”. The Willie Nelson rendition of “He Was A Friend Of Mine” it’s outstanding too and the score composed by Santaolalla it’s pure country, it won him his first academy award.

I hope you consider it, even if the list is already done.

You’ll have to come back and see. Dwight is definitely not underrated here.
