Charley Walker
Jim Reeves, the Louvin Brothers, Buck Owens, Flatt & Scruggs, the Browns, Loretta Lynn, Faron Young, Ray Price, and Carl Smith are artists that did varying styles of country music in the 50s and 60s, so I would recommend them to get a good idea of the various styles in the “golden age” of country music.
Anything from Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Jimmy Rogers, Hank Williams Sr., Emmylou Harris (although alot of her stuff is covers), Eddie Rabbit, Johnny Cash, Johnny Paycheck, Porter Wagner, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty, Tanya Tucker (she’s not classic, classic country, but really good, and came out during the 80′s when a lot of people consider classic country to start and count back from it), Anne Murray, Lynn Anderson, T.G. Sheppard, Dottie West, Mel Tillis, Shelly West, Don Williams, Barbara Mandrell, Earl Thomas Conley, Tom T. Hall, Roy Rodgers, Bobby Bare, Roy Acuff, Flatt & Scruggs, Webb Peirce, Buck Owens, Ernest Tubbs, Lefty Frizzell, Eddy Arnold… The list can go on and on, as I think I kind of showed. Even Elvis was considered country.
