Gibson Guitars Top 10 Alt-Country Guitarists

June 8th 2008 in alt.country

Gibson Guitars blog continue their survey of random alt.country categorization (see Top 5 Essential Alt-Country Albums , 3 Great Alt-Country Obscurities and a nice write up on the Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers and Uncle Tupelo pedal steel player Sneaky Pete Kleinow) with the excellent addition of the Top 10 Alt-Country Guitarists. Just one question, where the heck is Kenny Vaughn (Lucinda Williams, Marty Stuart) on this list?

Totally agree! Where is Vaughn? Otherwise, I’m okay with the list. Great post!

So the other night I sat down with a bag of pork rinds and a six pack of high-end suds (with a loaded .45, in case things got real bad) and forced myself to watch the NBC premier of (but sixth season overall) of “Nashville Star.” For those of you with a life and no desire to care (how I envy you) “”Nashville Star” does for country music what “American Idol” does for pop.
