If you like Alison Krauss you may like to try this:

Western (Texas) Swing with a dash of the Hot Club of France.

 

They are regular visitors to the UK.

Good fusion jazz, if you are not annoyed about the very prominent drummer Dave Weckl

Or slither along the underbelly of the Western US desert alt-country with other frequent visitors to the UK:

 

Richmond Fontaine

"Post To Wire"     (2004)     mp3

The main man Willy also writes novels, and his lyrical style is very similar to that.  But the short "stories" are unique.  Love the pedal-steel guitar.

Seen them on TV a few times and always intended to buy an album or two. What two albums would you recommend.

Michael Wollny has been recommended before in this thread so thought I should give this album a listen:

Streaming on Spotify Premium.

Vinyl

Or try an alt country/bluegrass hybrid like:

 

Steve Earle and the Del Mccoury Band

"Mountain"

 

If you have Tidal or the dreaded Spotify (or a library or YouTube), the world is your musical oyster.  Enjoy exploring.

Krystian Zimerman, disc #100 of the 20th century great pianists series. So far I have ten of these double albums, all of them containing great performances and very good sound. Here we have the pianist playing a Scherzo and the second piano concerto of Brahms, a Ballade and a Fantasy by Chopin, Preludes of Debussy and LIszt's Funerailles and Danse Macabre. The recordings were made between1981 and 1994. A must for any Zimerman fan (EJ?).
