I'm an ignorant northerner. Am I allowed to love Drive-By Truckers, Jason Isbell, Emmylou Harris and Davis Allan Coe or am I an ignorant city boy?

Here's EmmyLou doing Pancho and Lefty: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l3LQeRqTBK4

Here's Nathan Rabin's country column: http://www.avclub.com/search?feature_types=nashville-or-bust

I think my country thread in the Music subforum is still going

You are allowed to like those artists, but the Drive-by Truckers, and Jason Isbell are Americana not country. Americana is what music enthusiasts have taken to calling country music that doesn't suck. Kenny Rogers is country, Johnny Cash is Americana. There is a duality to everything in the south that typically gets lost on us northerners, but for every really lovely, derivative, pop-country star there is someone cranking out music that is all heart.

Some of my favorites are HellBound glory:
