two recent finds of mine
The Dixie BeeLiners
http://www.myspace.com/thedixiebeeliners
they have a great rustic sound, have a bit of a celtic sound


Hillbilly Gypsies
http://www.myspace.com/thehillbillygypsies
their sound is very 'old-timey', rather than polished and pop-country-fied, they have some great videos on youtube. They perform around one mike, the old-fashioned way, and their live performances look electric. Doing Muleskinner Blues
