Hi all!

I would really love to get some music recommendations from y'all! I feel like I'm at a point where I'm just listening to the same few records/names over and over again, and find my self searching for something that's "same same, but different" :)

These are some of the acts that I like or even love:
Lucinda Williams (LOVE her!), Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Marcus King Band, Doyle Bramhall 2, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, Gregory Alan Isakov, Kathleen Edwards, Bonny Light Horseman, The Band, Neil Young (Harvest and After the Gold Rush), The War on Drugs, Brandi Carlile, John Moreland (first 3 records), Waylon Jennings...

Have been listening to a bit of John Mellencamp's Scarecrow album, and there might be something there...

Haven't really been able to get into Bruce Springsteen, The Jayhawks, Wilco, Drive-By Truckers...but I might be missing something with some of these..?

But I'm sure there a a ton of music, maybe from lesser known names, that I'm missing.

Hit me!

Check this Cd called rig rock truck stop. It is probably what you are looking for.
And most generally the diesel only record company.

You list is conspicuous due to it's lack of Steve Earle. The guy's been releasing albums since 1982 so he's got a huge catalogue for you to browse.

I know - I forgot to mention him, and also his son, on the list of people I have been trying to get into, but that haven't really hit me. Which album would you consider starting with? Guitar Town? El Corazon? I remember seeing them on "Best Americana albums of all time" list...

Yeah, start with Guitar Town. If you don't get that then I guess you don't get him.
