Oh!  Some Canadian music to check out:

I highly recommend The Be Good Tanyas album Blue hoss.

All of Sarah Harmer's stuff is great (but if you're specifically seeking a country sound vs a folky sound I'm a Mountain is the album to start with).

Also Christine Fellows, though not country, is so good, I must mention her in the company of these other ladys on principal.  One of my best friends is sitting in the front row in this video.

I'm not a big country and western fan but Slim Dusty is an old time aussie classic though most of his stuff that I know doesn't tend towards the dark like, say, Mr. Cash.

I don't know the artist but someone (I'm fairly sure arachnocapitalist) linked to 'Tell the King the Killer's here' a while back and I've been enjoying that one for a while.

That was me, and I love that song.  Saw it at the Woody Guthrie Festival.  He doesn't have to many other good songs though, unfortunately.

I will check out the things which y'all have recommended.
Except Chet Atkins. The first two tracks on his CD made me want to vomit from over-sweetened guitar. Mr Sandman? Oh man, no thanks.

Check some of these out:

or here
this
or this (despite the low audio quality)
or even this

Oh, thanks Dan.

I have

Library of Congress Collection, Vol. 1- Anglo-American Ballads

and

Library of Congress Collection, Vol. 2- Anglo-American Ballads

I thought they might be the same thing, but I am not seeing any cross over.

And the authors, I would definitely appreciate the other two volumes.

please dont edit the code tags. it might be force-of-habit but yousendit had an algorithm implemented that killed off a link once a number of different ip's were referred to it from the same source. this may or may not be true for sendspace, i dunno. but if its true then you'll ruin the fun for everyone else. just copy/paste the link, simple enough :)
