The Band of Heathens from Austin, TX is a band I was just introduced to even though they have been receiving accolades for some time now. Their mix of blues, rock, country and folk give a great alternative to the country music that mainstream Nashville has been producing. Their self-titled album produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard should be a must have for any claim-to-be southerner as their music ranges from southern-fried gospel blues to a lazy New Orleans drawl to radio-ready alternative country. A few personal favorites from this compact disc would be "Heart on my Sleeve", "Second Line", and "Nine Steps Down"
Check them out at their website.
