Favorite country song - Got one?

[Stringbanger]

another angle or two

“It Should Have Been Me” ain’t no country song! A blues shuffle? Yeah.

I'll start

"Call it Dreaming" - Iron and Wine

Elvis Costello released two singles of I'm Your Toy, an EP and a 45. I treasured them. One of my most regrettable vinyl losses.

 

[Stringbanger]

As many as you like.

Okie Dokie!

God, there are so many. Here are a couple few that’d most likely be in my top ten if I had to map it out.





EDIT: This one too.

You may be right - I would have called it Western Swing, and it's got a steel guitar in it, which put it in the country column for me.

You got a good ear, Skydog, I also really love 'Luckenbach, Texas', with Waylon and Willie and the boys...

This and anything before 1980.

I can’t believe we’re 8 pages in and nobody’s nominated this one:

 

[TelecasterSam]

The Streets Of Baltimore by either Bobby Bare or Gram Parsons

 

[Recce]

Pancho and Lefty. Done by many of my favorite artists but I always come back to the originator.

I was playing this last night.

 

[brookdalebill]

Good one!
George Strait has a nice cover of it.
