An old album cut by Duane Eddy back in 70's featuring Buddy Emmons is an outstanding record. Wish it was on a cd. I can't think of name of the album but is pure country.

Tom Brumley! Lots of videos of him on YouTube, playing with Buck Owens. And this is awesome: https://youtu.be/TFX7GvujvQI

Bud Isaacs! His instrumental stuff is great, as are his sessions for Webb Pierce.
Also Billy Robinson. They both played on some stuff by Red Foley that I dig.

Did anyone mention Jerry Byrd? That's a big one!

I'm not familiar with Apple's content but you can find plenty of great stuff on YouTube. I loved Reece Anderson and for a " little outside of the box" approaches try Julian Tharpe and Dave Easley.

Have fun checking out all of these great recommendations.

The sound of Pure Prairie League's John David (J.D.) Call enticed me to buy a pedal guitar back in the 70's. Check out the album Two Lane Highway on YouTube or Live! Takin' the Stage. My two favorites.
