David Allen Coe. His underground mixtapes are the soundtrack to this bored.
"Loudmouth in the corner's gettin' to me
Talkin bout my earring and my hair
Guess he ain't sern the signs, that say I been to prison
Someone better tell em 'for I knock him off his chair"
===÷÷==
Not the aforementioned mix tape, but it has the country sound and trashy dive bar attitude
I'd have loved to see prison era Coe beat the fuck out of faggot posers like Kenny Chesney
Waylon's "Are You Sure Hank Done Em This Way" and Merle's "Mama Tried" are as good as it gets...Hank Sr for overall writing
"Are you sure Hank" is one of may all time favorites...basic as hell with 2 chords, but super cool phaser effect on Waylon's tele. The lyrics are tuff as fuck too.
I think there have been plenty of good to great country artists over the past 20 years, especially of the alt country variety, but "faggot posers" is what I was getting at with the "new" country option.
Some honorable mentions for me on this topic...
Jerry Jeff Walker Kristofferson Don Gibson Roger Miller Gram Parsons (although he's more for the country rock poll) Guy Clark Steve Earl Towns Van Zandt I love the Tuckers and Jay Farrar's stuff, but they fall more into the alt country rock genre.

But as a fuck buddy, it's hard to beat Shania.
Though I'd have to think a Fireball loaded Miranda Lambert would be a crazy ass ride in the sack.

I would be perfectly fine if she wanted to shake it off on the Throbber.
What's especially funny is the music is such traditional shitkicker country, you'd think the band was backing up Hank Sr on one of his classics
Which generally is batshit wild sex.
