I would definitely choose Amazing Rhythm Aces. But a particular favourite of mine was the classic Joe Ely Band    -   with Ponty Bone
(accordion), Jesse "Guitar" Taylor (lead-guitar), Lloyd Maines (steel)
-   with wonderful songs by Ely, Butch Hancock and Jimmy Dale Gilmore.
I still play the first four albums (on vinyl) by that line-up - just sad I never got to hear them in the flesh
