[Music] Favourite Country Song

[Super Steve Earle]

My Achey Breaky Heart is one of the worst songs ever recorded. He shouldn't have been allowed to continue recording or performing after that.

What has Achy Breaky Heart to do with Garth Brooks? I'm not aware he ever sung it nor did he write it.

 

[Zeberdi]

The unmistakable classic sound of Willie Nelson

 

[jakarta]

and speaking of drinking, it reminded me of this next one - not so much ‘country’ but with a distinctly country sound, produced by Elvis Costello

Wonderful, like Talking Heads it proves that 'Rock/Pop' Bands can do superb Country songs

After posting Baby Please Dont Go on the Best Song of the Day thread it reminded me of why I think this guy is one of the most versatile and best singer/songwriters in contemporary music - this is the title track and his own composition from an album of mostly classic country covers - 2006

oops

This is so incredibly sad - just seen on the news Jake Flint has died age 37 just after getting married

Jake Flint: US country star, 37, dies just hours after getting married

"We should be going through wedding photos but instead, I have to pick out clothes to bury my husband in," says Jake Flint's wife.

This one’s for you Jake - RIP

I hadn’t heard that the great Florida Georgia Line had split - this is Tyler Hubbard’s first single on his own

I loved Taylor Swift's early country stuff and whilst this is at the start of her rise to pop stardom, Enchanted still has many qualities of a country song. Genuinely love the song, resonates a lot with me.

Gotta love TS. As genuine a pop person as you're ever going to get at that level IMHO. Seems like a nice kid. I blooming this Tom Petty cover

Just keeping the TS theme going … like a lot of what she’s done … not country, but her 10 minute version of All to Well is incredible!! Anyway … Tim McGraw …

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I defy you not to fall in love with Nanci Griffiths - this live version of "Love at the five and dime" is exquisite.

I'm off to "fill up my suitcase with unnecesary plastic objects"

Not my main music passion, but this is beautiful:



Plus so many songs by Johnny Cash.

I read today that Bob Dylan rates this as the best song ever written.

Oops, just seen this. You're right, it was Billy Ray Cyrus. Awful, awful song.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Since we’re on early Taylor Swift this too from her debut album - about 15+ years since I bought it!

 

[Icy Gull]

Thread resurrection and I’ve no idea what I posted before but today it’s this. Probably the most under rated Country Rock band of all time.

Not a C&W fan but have a soft spot for this'un...
