As the value of sterling against the dollar continues to topple, the attraction of visiting - or spending in - the USA is dwindling daily. But some things you simply cannot get over here are still worth hunting out. Obscure country music for one. And the Ernest Tubb shop is the place to find it.
Though the website isn't the greatest, it is a fantastic source of names that you can then paste into Google and listen and discover. There's all kinds of stuff from Dan Paisley and the Southern Grass (Warning: sound on!) to the man responsible for rescuing country music from the doldrums all those years ago: Waylon Jennings (pictured below). It's a brilliant way to waste a lunchtime - and it's all free, including the mail order catalogue, which is definitely worth getting your hands on. Get your free copy here.
