I'd really appreciate it if you all could recommend some good country singers/groups, as well as specific albums that stand out above the rest. I want to listen to the good stuff first, so I am able to give the genre the best shot I can.
If possible, I'd prefer newer recommendations, however "Classics" are also fine. Pretty much anything you consider to be good country music, and would recommend to others looking to expose themselves to the genre.
Thanks!

Couple suggestions from a big country fan.
First, start with music that sounds more like what your used to. Go with people/groups like Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt, Pat Green, Brooks & Dunn, and Big & Rich to start. That's what happened to me; my sister hooked me on Garth Brooks and I never looked back.
Try listening to it on the radio first. A lot of it will be crap, but there's some good stuff out there, and it will let you find people you like before you spend money.
