Minor Correction....

Ok, fair enough that digging up a Jeff Tweedy or Ryan Adams mullet shot might take a trip pretty far back in the musical time machine (Tweedy I'm almost sure had some version at one time or another, but - in the case of Adams - it would more likely be some obscure member of his touring band at some point).

But, not to disappoint - one of the most influential people to major players in the genre of alt country (including Tweedy and co-founder of his original band, Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar) - none other than Steve Earle started out with a bit more of a #%*?-kicking country vibe back in the 80's (pretty nice tie-in for our purposes).

No more evidence is needed than this YouTube clip:

Nice Bono reference Ryan - that has to be one of the all-time greats as far as the pop-rock side goes...
