I've been broadening my horizons a bit and getting back into a bit more of a folk/country vibe with my solo songwriting and been working on improving my fingerpicking techniques that I've neglected badly for the last 20 years
![Cheesy :D](./images/smilies/cheesy.gif)
I tend to prefer the 50's/early 60's style, often with that 'Western Swing' vibe. Honky tonk and Boogie I like too. I know a bunch of the usual suspects like Willie Nelson, Dixie Rogers, Johnny Cash, Don Williams, Hank Williams etc but looking for some more recommendations and a deeper dive.
Stuff with pedal steel, washboard/brushed snare etc. Not really looking for that late-60's/70's exaggeration of the style.
Thank you in advance.
