I've got the Deadstring Bros record.
I'm not too keen. It's much more pop & polished than what you get with most of the bands mentioned above.

Also delve into the Bloodhot Records catalog:
http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/catalog/ They've got some great collections. I can't say it any better than they do:

If you've thought Bloodshot rocked you before, brother, you ain't heard nothing yet. This behemoth jumps on your ass with two CDs (over TWO HOURS OF MUSIC), holds you down and pours 40 new and unreleased tracks right down your gullet. You'll be bloating up with music from EVERY SINGLE artist on our much ballyhooed/oft-maligned roster, including Ryan Adams, Neko Case, Robbie Fulks, Alejandro Escovedo, Old 97's, Graham Parker and the Waco Brothers. You'll try to push yourself away, but not before our friends like Johnny Dowd, the Hollisters, Anna Fermin, Caitlin Cary (ex-Whiskeytown), Hazeldine, Bare Jr, Mike Ireland, Supersuckers, Giant Sand, the Handsome Family and more burst your buttons and leave you crying for mercy. To top it all off, we've packaged it up with a full color 20-page booklet. The critics already hate it!
"This collection does illustrate the basic truth about Bloodshot: of every four releases, one is marvelous, one is dreadful and the others just clutter up an already overcrowded market." John Conquest, Third Coast Music
But do the math my friends. If you will accept this critical opinion there are still no less than 10 "marvelous" songs. That's more marvelous songs than contained on Led Zeppelin IV, the greatest record ever. And with 10 "dreadful" songs we deliver more than Yes could muster on Tales From Topographic Oceans. Everyone wins!
