What's your favorite Country Music song?

[Demo158]

Been listening to a mix of Outlaw/80's country for the last two hours and i'm curious as to what other peeps on this board like. First off, If you don't like Country, GTFO of this thread. Secondly, I'm interested in anyone's opinion on any Genre of country even though I personally think the genre has plummeted the past ten years or so.

My all-time favorite song would have to be "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" by Keith Whitley. A close second would be "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" by the BITB Waylon Jennings. I'm a huge fan of just about any Waylon song though.

Let's hear some opinions!

, I'm a big fan of Josh Abbott. I actually knew Roger Creager and Trent Willmon before Abbott. When I saw they were collaborating on this song I knew it would be a good one!

The title is "You Look So Good In Love", great song nonetheless.

What makes certain country "outlaw" country? 

Also, Not a big fan of the genere, but I do enjoy some Garth when it's on.  I don't go seeking it out, though.

Also, it can be pretty great when some drunk middle aged guy gets on stage and belts out Family Tradition under the right circumstances.

I think of Outlaw music as country musicians that were fighting against Nashville and the type of music Nashville was putting out in the 70s.

I find it entertaining when some one mentions a certain singer then follows with "That's real country music, right there".  Do singers that fall outside that statement qualify as "outlaw"?

Is there a country equivalent to Sug Knight in country?  Is that the "outlaw" set?  I am assuming this is Randy Travis

driving past salina yesterday, i stopped on 101.7, the classic country station. This song was on, and it sucked me in...so good.



There's something about some of these old songs. Hard to explain.

There is a lot of sentiment that most of today's country music is really just pop music with a twang. So, when someone says "that's real country music" they're implying it sounds like older country music or it is older country music.

I agree about new country.

This describes it well. Also Waylon and Willie had run ins with the law for drug possession.

Country Oldies (106.9 in MHK I believe) is the best thing in the world on a Sunday morning when you feel like your life belongs in the shame yourself thread.
