well, you just have to do a little looking beyond the mainstream Country radio & CMT & GAC.

I just posted about this in the Songwriter forum, in fact.

Marty Stuart is putting out incredibly great traditional Country music these days. Check out "Ghost Train", it was recorded in Nashville at Studio B.

Vince Gill plays great great Traditional Country along with the other stuff he does. Its not the rebel side of Country but it is fantastic. Theres an entire CD of it on the 4 CD release "These Days"

Hank 3 (Hank Williams III) has a very dedicated following of fans. Just today he released a 2 CD album of traditional Country music "Ghost to Ghost"

Check out Heybale, thats another truly great Country band.

Theres plenty of it out there and there are very loyal fans of those artists
