I've not much of merit to add to this thread [did anyone mention Gene Autry?], but it's a curious phenomenon that I can think of only one country artist who didn't, at some point, churn out dross. That's Hank Williams, whose Luke the Drifter era stands just slightly under the Fall in my estimations of the pinnacle of Western (pop-)art in the 20th-Century.

Dolly has done a handful of pretty good albums after the 70s, by the by. She has done some crippling drivel, but there are glimpses of former glories.

I think the early Sun-era Elvis country sides get unfairly passed over in favour of his 'black' sides.
