My Kind of Country: The Rev Recommends

I got an email earlier tonight asking what should a poor boy, looking to delve into the great river of country music, listen to and I thought, what the hell, let's show him what the real thing sounds like, unplugged.
First off, the man who in my opinion is, along with his cousin Jack, one of the two lost fathers of country music, Woody Guthrie.
Now, the man who first tuned me into Woody, the Boss himself, performing a Johnny Cash favourite.
Now, the Man in Black, performing one of his greatest and darkest songs.
Next, a guy who is one of America's greatest songwriters, John Hiatt.
Finally, a guy who became a hero to me at 14 and remains so decades later, Steve Earle.
Until next time; ride hard, die hard, and keep on twangin'
