Hey /mu/, normie country excluded - what are some decent alt-country or classic country albums I can listen to?

Definitely what I was looking for, thanks.
Your pic is a nice choice. Here are my favorites (putting live albums in here b/c the best country music is live)
Classic Country:
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
Townes Van Zandt - s/t
Waylon Jennings - Waylon Live
John Prine - s/t
Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel
Modern/Alt-Country:
Sixteen Horsepower - Live March 2001
Blaze Foley - Live at the Austin Outhouse
Magnolia Electric Company - s/t
Alison Krauss + Union Station Live
The Jayhawks - Tomorrow the Green Grass
Also that Neko Case record reminds me a lot of Ryan Adams, so listen to Heartbreaker if you haven't already
One of the best I've heard
Wilco - Being There
My Morning Jacket - At Dawn

Old Boots New Dirt is essential listening.
I always like Lambchop for Alt-Country. They were once called the most fucked up band in Nashville (it's a joke) Going from like 20 members to 6 nowadays but still some great stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8qUpq_arik

also blaze foley has a lo-fi album of demos that is really rad. better than any studio thing he put out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL3lZSm_K4o
also bonnie prince billy is rad

Yeah Bonnie Prince Billy is great
I heard this on an old comp I got a few years ago and listen to it pretty regularly.

the album that's from is really good. It's called Thriller. Most of their stuff is downtempo lowkey stuff
