Because there is tons of good country and we never talk about it.

I like
Hank Williams Sr.
Patsy Cline
Johnny Cash

and some of the Mekons country type stuff is awesome, like their cover of Sin City

All of the early Palace/Will Oldham stuff is great on the post-punk side of things. I'm also a big fan of the Violent Femmes second album Hallowed Ground, which is very country influenced (obviously most especially "Country Death Song") and considerably darker than anything else they did. Of course the first three or so Meat Puppets records are classic cow punk too.

I love old Dolly Parton songs (nothing after the '70s of course.)

Kenny Rogers first band Kenny Rogers and the New Edition were actually an awesome country psych rock band. Suprisingly heavy stuff.

Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are great country swing from far enough back that it doesn't suck.

Ray Charles did some incredible blues/soul crossover stuff in the '60s.

Chet Atkins is deservedly considered one of the best guitarists in any genre.

Hank Williams Sr is classic stuff!

How about Sweetheart of the Rodeo by the Byrds? Or something by the Flying Burrito Brothers? Those would have a bit of a rock edge.

No mention yet of Wanda Jackson, her first couple of albums had a good mix of country and rockabilly, but this is a great album for the country stuff:

Well, as you know, it isn't a party until someone mentions Wanda Jackson.

i've been meaning to check out some of that 20-30's bluegrass though, so i'll second fugazifan's request.

Amazing, you're actually clarifying rather than just contradicting.

Thing is, while the first album was more hardcore than country, and II met both genres half way, the country kernel really was there from the beginning ("Tumblin' Tumbleweeds" being the obvious track) even if it didn't pop quite as loud until later.

And, yeah, they weren't as "cow punk" by definition as say Rank and File, that's probably mostly because they didn't fit very neatly in any genre. Sure they came out of hardcore, but that hardly means they sounded much like the Germs or DOA either.

In the end, all I'm doing is saying that a Sonic Youth fan who wants to check out some country music, has a very probable chance of getting into the early Meat Puppets records - and the first one is likely included in that.
