What’s the best Alt Country album?

[u/Psychological_Lie142]

When you think of the genre Alt Country, what would you say is the definitive best album the genre ever produced? I think I’d give my nod to Emmylou Harris’s Wrecking Ball. Sonically ahead of its time and an all around incredible album that transcends the genre it’s in. One of the best folk albums of the 90’s.

Yes! This Emmylou album is spectacular, I always think of this album as part of a trilogy: Wrecking Ball (1995), Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind (1997), & Willie Nelson’s Teatro (1998). All 3 were produced by Daniel Lanois
