Rocking bands that have country songs
I'm in a band that plays a variety of old country, classic rock, and Texas music. I'm looking for more country sounding songs that people can dance to, but would prefer more songs written by rock artists.


Here is Credence Clearwater Revival doing Looking For A Reason.




The Rolling Stones doing Sweet Virginia




After that I'm at a bit of a loss. Any other rocking bands you know that had some country sounding danceable songs?


Thx for suggestions...

The Knitters, which was essentially "X" with Dave Alvin and Jonny Ray Bartel added to the mix, released one of my favorite country albums "Poor Little Critter on the Road" back around '85. That album goes hard. Highly recommended.

Take any rock song (or any old song) you like and make it country. It's all in the arrangement.

Not sure if they count as "rocking" but Mark Knopfler is a country guitarist through and through so Dire Straits.
