The Nashville Scene published a Music Critic’s review of 2006, including this gem from Kent Wolgamott:

I came across one very heartening trend in 2006—at least here in Lincoln, Neb.: the ascendance of what I’ve been calling the next generation of outlaws. Hank III packs local clubs when he plays here, Shooter Jennings tore up an outdoor festival and the Red Dirt acts from Oklahoma—Cross Canadian Ragweed and Jason Boland & the Stragglers—draw as well or better than the new Nashville acts. That may have something to do with Lincoln being a college town, but the music I hear from Shooter, Hank III, Wayne “The Train” Hancock, Dale Watson and The Derailers is what I call country.
