Not sure if this shit fits the genre here or not but these guys are friends of mine and they got a steel guitar but they also play Motorhead type of shit and have hilarious lyrics. They are way better live than on their recordings.

not exactly alt country but i think you would enjoy Wovenhand. Same guy that was in 16 Horsepower.

extremely heavy music without being heavy at all.

I don't like him when he tries to make rock or alt-pop, but Ryan Adam's makes great alt-country:

Califone's cool too. Roots & Crowns is a great album by them. This is pretty adventurous for alt-country, but I think it still qualifies. Their singer has a great, gravelly voice:

Dinosaur Jr. has a great alt-country song on each of their last two albums:

"This is All I Came to Do" off Beyond is the other, but I can't find a youtube clip of the album version.
