Not a bad list at all, but there are Lots of albums that would nudge these for me. Oddly enough, for sheer joy, the best Johnny Cash album I've heard is the promo train-song DESTINATION VICTORIA STATION, put out for the reataurant chain by CBS Special Products, with a fleshed-out, decommercialized version of the jingle the only less than brilliant song and it not too bad. I'd suggest that unless they chose to retag this the Top C...from the last decade or so, they are missing a Whole Hell of a lot of stuff, ranging from Doc Watson to the Statler Bros. to Patsy Kline to Maggie and Terre Roche to some guy named Williams (and you know I don't mean Bocephus) to Bob Wills to Mr. Ray Charles. Just to suggest a range, mind you.

I own the Dixie Chicks and Allison Krauss CDs. I can recommend them wholeheartedly. The others I'm not too sure about.
I own the Emmylou CD. But then I own a lot of Emmylou CDs.
I have the Johnny Cash. I do have other Emmylou Harris and Dixie Chicks but not these.
A few of these I've never heard of, which shows you how often I listen to country these days.

There were a couple I'd never heard of. I listened to a few albums on Rhapsody this morning. They weren't bad. I like Joe Nichols.
