Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight is mine.

El Paso is the perfect song though...

That's what made me think of it. I like exes in Texas.

I like your Nashville stories too. Keep em coming. Entertain me.

Another song to nominate is Marty Robbins 'El Paso'.

Or is that cancelled now as well? I can't keep up.

Found out recently that was one of my mom's favorites. might've played it at her funeral, i was too young and stunned to notice, but do recall they played a selection of her favorites. The Girl at the End of the Bar genre of country tunes. Waylon & Willie's Good Hearted Woman is another example that goes over well when played on a bar jukebox

Rolling Stone puts "I Walk The Line" #1.

Willie and Waylon's "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" is pretty groovy.

Dolly "Jolene" is great.

"Convoy" was a phenomenon, sorta like Old Town Road.

I'm sorry you lost your mom at a young age. That song makes me laugh, I love it. I say lines from it all the time.

Caught a Soul Asylum show @ Goose Island Fest (I think it was). Hadn't seen them before, wasn't really there to see Soul Asylum, but was happily surprised when they played an excellent cover of Rhinestone Cowboy

I forgot Rhinestone cowboy.

So many good choices for this.

Glen Campbell was a transcendent guitar player. I saw an Alice Cooper interview where he said Eddie Van Halen asked if Glen would give him a lesson.

Beer and Bones by John Michael Montgomery is a perfect stereotypical country song

Cash's Ring of Fire, man, what a voice

Way too overproduced and kind of disco.

"Gentle on My Mind" is a much better Glen Campbell song with far superior production. And the guitar playing is phenomenal.

A guilty pleasure from a show I was at.

I really grew to love it. In the md 80's when I turned 21 I lived about a mile from a dive bar in the burg. Joyce the owner and I became close and I used to help her when she would get busy...help her close and such. She wanted to hear this like 24 hours a day. It really is one of the best.

I like patsy cline

"The gambler" by Kenny Rodgers.

Only because I would car pool with a friend of mine as a kid. Going to soccer or baseball games. His mom loved this song and would always play it on her car cosset player. She loved the song, obviously.

I don't like country music too much. But this song has nostalgic meaning to me.

The fact this thread made it to page two without someone offering up “Seven Spanish Angels” is an embarrassment.

“Road to Ensenada” is a fabulous country song.

My favorite Cambpell song is Galveston.

Bullets in the Gun by Toby Kieth is decent

"Seven Spanish Angels" is one of those songs that strikes me as more interesting--especially in its attempt to fuse country with R &B/gospel--than it is good.

Lyle Lovett just doesn't do it for me.
