Did I Shave My Legs for This?Did I Shave My Legs for This? by Deana Carter
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01
Carter has a beautiful voice and an ear for good songs. My favorite is the smash hit "Strawberry Wine."
Nobody Love, Nobody Gets HurtNobody Love, Nobody Gets Hurt by Suzy Bogguss
Buy used from: $0.71
From longing (Take Me Back) to joy (Just Enough Rope) to pissed-off women (From Where I Stand), this album rocks.
"Toby Keith - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1""Toby Keith - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1" by Toby Keith
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.17
Keith makes some interesting choices (I'm So Happy), as well as some more traditional ones (Should've Been A Cowboy). This is a good record of the early career of a present-day megastar.
Car Wheels on a Gravel RoadCar Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.01
This may have won the Best Folk Album Grammy, but songs like "Concrete and Barbed Wire," "Car Wheels," and "Greenville" are pure country.
Blackhawk - Greatest HitsBlackhawk - Greatest Hits by BlackHawk
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $3.02
Intriguing and underrated band. Listen and see why I think so.
Greatest HitsGreatest Hits by Pam Tillis

In Between Dances is my personal favorite.
Live - It Was Just a Matter of TimeLive - It Was Just a Matter of Time by Randy Travis

A great country artist.
Songbook: A Collection of HitsSongbook: A Collection of Hits by Trisha Yearwood
Buy new: $29.98 / Used from: $11.83
Buy the Import version solely for "You Can Sleep While I Drive." You won't regret it.
The Hits LiveThe Hits Live by Sawyer Brown
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.01
Other than the awful, trite "800 Pound Jesus," this is an often rocking, equally moving album of good, unoriginal music.
Out With a BangOut With a Bang by David Lee Murphy
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.48
Country rock with brains.
