And you know who you are. Fifteen tracks including music by Alison Krauss & Union Station, Emmylou Harris, and Catie Curtis, c. 1 hr. Okay, so some of these are more likely to be categorized as folk, bluegrass, alternative, indie rock or singer/songwriter, but all of them are at least country-ish. Which, as everyone knows, is the gateway drug to liking actual country. Cover art credit: Robert Frank, "Rodeo--New York City," 1954, via http://blog.metmuseum.org/americanstories.
