Most of country I like is second hand thru rock groups like The Allman Brothers, Richard Thompson or The Doobie Brothers.
Still I like Buddy and Julie Miller, Earl Scruggs, Jerry Reed (though by seventies he had a bit of funk influence which made it much easier to listen to him),and Doc Watson. Basically anything that's got some swing to it.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
