BTW, have you ever seen "Bob Roberts"? Kelly Willis is "Miss Broken Dove" in the movie...

This guy is just loaded with talent.

I think some of these might border on more of the Rockabilly side:
-- Mike Ness
-- The Rev. Horton Heat
-- Bad Livers
-- Hank Williams III
-- Supersuckers (they're more punk, though)
-- Dusty 45s

Freddy Jones Band has some great albums out. If you want to check them out, go with "Mile High Live", great live cd that gives a good overall impression of their work. I don't know if I consider them alt-country, but based on some of the other bands mentioned in this thread, I think they fit what we're talking about.
