I think punk music and country are one and the same, essentially. So my recommendations are a bit more eclectic:
The Sadies
Ernest Tubb
Mike Ness
Two Cow Garage
Brown Bird
Junior Brown - (a veritable guitar demon)
Me First & the Gimme Gimme's record, "Love their Country" - a mix of classic country covers.
Hank III's record "Ghost to a Ghost" can be strange to someone unfamiliar with his work but it's well worth the listen if you like your country with the requisite twang.
"We have both kinds of music; County and Western!"

For mainstream country, I would recommend Dwight Yoakum.
If you want to get a little deeper though, try on some Split Lip Rayfield.
