I'm not sure who or how much alt-country you've heard, but it's not all glorified indie-rock like you say. And I also maintain that country as it once was is dead. When Willy Nelson does a duet with a teenage pop singer and Dwight Yoakum stars in Gap commercials then something has gone horribly horribly wrong! I mean, stop the madness already. Sorry to get so far off topic by the way! waikiki
