I realize the 2010s are almost upon us and at some point I may make a best of 2009 compilation, but tonight's post is devoted to alternative country from the 1990s - specifically, the alt-country artists and bands from the 90s that didn't receive the attention of Wilco, Whiskeytown, Old 97s, etc.

ooooh. Thanks for the tasty bites.
Thank you for the 90`s alt country mixes - not easy being a dude in the UK !
@auk - And sometimes it's not so easy in the U.S. either> :)
Two of my faves on this comp: Paul Kelly and Bap Kennedy. I wouldn't call either of them alt-country tho. But that's OK, just glad you're spreading the word.
I'll give you Paul Kelly as a stretch, but Bap - at least his first three albums - belongs in the alt-country tent. After all, his second album was a bunch of Hank Williams covers. But always trying to spread the gospel of Paul Kelly and Bap and always happy to preach to that gospel. :)
