Somebody who never gets enough respect as a country-rock pioneer:

The Monkees - "What Am I Doin' Hangin' 'Round" (1967)

Yes I'm serious -- compare it to this track (featuring Gram Parsons):

The International Submarine Band - "Luxury Liner" (1968)

Ballad of Spider John

Recorded his lone album in '72 - hasn't released one since. Jimmy Buffett does a great cover of this song on his '74 album. He'll also occasionally cover 'Northeast Texas Women' in concert.

Like The Monkees song!

A guy that I don't think gets near enough credit for country rock is Rick Nelson and his Stone Canyon Band. His 1970 slbum 'In Concert at The Troubadour' is damn good. Future Poco and Eagle Randy Meisner on bass and harmony.

Was lucky enough to be backstage at Grand Ole Opry one night when Bobby Hart was introduced (co-wrote Last Train to Clarksburg). Bill Monroe performed that night (way off this topic).
