Being a child of the 90s, my favorites probably fall under "new country" heading. Buuuttt...
Travis Tritt, Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Toby Kieth, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Kieth Urban, Dixie Chicks, Sara Evans, Clay Walker, Blackhawk, Diamond Rio, Alabama, Trisha Yearwood, LeAnn Rhymes, Lee Ann Womack, Jo Dee Messina, Shania Twain, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks... and on and on-- Country was pretty much ALL I willingly listened to until I hit mid-teens. ;)
I love "Devil Went Down to Georgia". And... Great. There was a song by the Nitty Gritty Dirtband that I used to adore but I can't for the life of me remember its name. Oi. It was about a river, I think...? (If you know it, and want to link it for me, please link the lyrics, not a YouTube video; my internet connection is horrid and also massively shared. :P)
I'd like to state that I like pre-mini disappearance & re-appearance as a pop star LeAnn Rhymes. You know, back when she was the pretty teen with the most exquisite voice. :P
As a rule for all genre I listen to (saving, I suppose, instrumental which is just <3), I tend to be partial to music in which the voice(s) can be clearly made out, because I'm mostly deaf but love to pick up lyrics and sing along. Which... probably doesn't explain my love of Japanese pop and rock, but that's a whole 'nother subject. :D
The Dirt Band has a looooooot of songs out, many of them written by other people, and some of them not really country...was it Lost River? Rippling Waters? Fishing in the Dark? (And BTW, their musical version of the Benet poem 'The Mountain Whipporwill' is the precursor to CDB's Devil Went Down...')
