I am not a C&W fan at all, but if I had to choose an artist that appeals to me it probably would be Johnny Cash. I would most familiar with his hits that crossed over to the R&R charts.
I never bought any of his music but I did like his deep, clear voice and some of his music. I remember the Folsom prison album which was a big hit and then of course "A Boy Named Sue" was hilarious.

San Quentin is probably the best live album in my opinion, amazing..
The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers. First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves. It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.
Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared
"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"
The Johnny Cash Show had some great guests....Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt. Johnny was under-appreciated for his songs of social commentary; The Man in Black, Sunday Morning, Ira Hayes (forgive me if the titles are not quite right)

Also, "What Is Truth?" and "Singin' in Vietnam Talkin' Blues." Great songs.
"All of these men were good listeners; patient men."
