Someone mentioned Dwight Yoakam. I'll put in that list. Just saw him and his band two weeks ago with Chris Stapleton. Yoakam blew the roof off the place. He has wrote a lot of songs and that dude delivers.
Dwight puts on one of the best C&W concerts I’ve ever seen. And his band is phenomenal!
And he played one hell of a asswhole bad guy in the movie Sling Blade with ole Billy Bob Thornton.
