Favorite Country Western Song

I love music of all types. What's your favorite country song? I think mine's George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Second would be Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man."


Glenn F.
 
Anything by Marty Robbins or the Sons of the Pioneers........maybe Don Williams or Don Gibson or Patsy Cline, also.
 
Buck Owens, "Together Again". Bobby Bare, "Lost in Miller's Cave", Maggie Mae, "Company's Coming Up the Road"
 
I like a lot of country music--like the honky-tonk, cryin-in-yer-beer stuff that Gary Stewart used to do--but since you specified country AND WESTERN, my favorite would probably be Gene Autry's "Back In The Saddle Again." Followed closely by Marty Robbins' "Big Iron" and "El Paso."
 
Lyle Lovett is a great singer songwriter and I like most of his stuff. Esp. stuff from "Joshua Judges Ruth" and "the road to Ensenada." Also there's a guy out of Tennesse named Joey Allcorn who is great also.
 
And how about "Pop-a-top" by Jim Ed Brown. Alan Jackson also does it well. If you listen closely to the begining of Jim Ed Browns version, you can hear the teardrop shaped can openning being popped, and torn off the tin cans. It kind of takes you back in time . Where as Alan Jacksons version has a simple pop of an aluminum can.
 
It is hard to pick just one and I kinda agree with both of yours.Also"Mama Cried".You know how it goes"I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole... I also rate Patsy Cline above all else songs like" Walking After Midnight" Some website said the following[not sure how its done]Number one all time best selling album Eagles Long Run number two Michael Jackson Thriller number three Patsy Clines Greatest Hits.Now we havent even begun to talk about the Bakersfield Boys who went electric too soon for Nashville;Buck Owens and His Buckaroos.Heck I cant name just one it just goes on and on.
 
I know that she has wrecked her life but
Mindy Mccredy has the sweetest voice and I would love for her to sing me to sleep.

I like most of her songs.

Listening to Mindy beats the *rap out of listening to some of the beer belly fellas that you hear on the radio.
 
Highwaymen by Willie , Waylon , Johnny , Kris is my favorite...I sorta get a wet spot for Shania too....
 
That was a scam. I drove that stretch of Rt. 66 when that song was out and I didn't find that billboard. What a disappointment! LOL

Areo
 
There are so many good ones! I like George Jones' "The Corvette Song" "Hotter than a two dollar pistol, she was the fastest thing around"
 
Yep,saw Jim Ed live at the County Fair in 1971. He used his cheeks and finger to do it live.
 

Willy Nelson's version of "City of New Orleans". Sammie Smith had a version that was maybe a little better.

KEH
 
Generally I'd say Johnny Cash Doin "a boy named Sue", but right now I'm kinda obsessing on Sugarland's It happens!
 
Loved the Man in Black's music, but Folsom Prision always had me confused. If Johnny sang "I shot a man in Reno (Nevada) just to watch him die" why would he be in Folsom, A California State Prison ?
 
The Road Hammers have their own version of that song they came up with last summer

Boys you are missing the ovious, She thinks my tractors nnalert!!!

Seriously, George Jones blues man or Don Williams I believe in you (wife and I used this song at our wedding).Both will make chills come up your neck. And dont forget Vern Gosdins chiseled in stone or is it raining at your house.
 
Gotta second anything by Chris LeDoux. Not only did he sing about the western life, he lived it. Had a discussion on another board about how most of the c/w singers today have most likely never been in the country. Hard to list just one but I spose my favorite song of his would probably have to be Riding for a Fall.
 
Lots of favorites, but the one that has always stuck in my head was an oldie from Willie Nelson long before the Willie we know and think of today, back when he was young and wore rhine stone blue suits with short greased back hair and no beard..."Some Other World". Depressing as all get up, but was a youngster back then that got woke up in the middle of the night by my mother that some of my friends had just been killed in a car crash and as I was lying there trying to grasp what she had just told me, then she told me that my girlfriend was in the hospital and probably wouldn't live either. I didn't go out with them that night, and that was a real waker upper. My girlfriend did die a week later of injuries, and at the time..."Some other world has all of the sunshine, cause there's no sunshine in mine...". That was a depressing period for me, but memorable. I learned then that pain truly can mean something good.

Thanks for the fond memories. I mean that sincerely.

Some Other World
 
I read most of the comments here and not one soul mentioned any of that crap they play on country radio today and call it country music. What a joke. It is just too hard to lisen to.
 
Confederate railroads "Daddy never was" always seems to hit home, Randy travis " he walked on water", Any Don Williams, Merle, Mel Mcdaniels, Hank Snow ...I could go on but thats afew....Jim
 
When going through radio stations in unfamiliar towns, I always stop when I hear a George Strait song.

Figure I can't go wrong with that station.
 
Hank Jr. Heaven Can"t Be Found
I mostly like the old stuff. ET, all the Hank"s, Porter(without Dolly), Ray Price, Charlie Walker, Red Sovine, Carl Smith, Faron Young, Stonewall Jackson, Dave Dudley, Too many to list.
 
Shutting Detroit Down by John Rich has got to be one of the best modern country songs. You Tube it, great song!

Fav. artist would have to be Chris Ledoux, George Strait, Jason Aldean, and Sara Evans. I like most country songs that have a good meaning.

Glenn F, you picked a couple top country classics. I enjoy MOCKINGBIRD done by Toby Keith and his daughter. Another classic that will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck is MY WOMAN, MY WOMAN, MY WIFE by Marty Robbins.
 
Anything by the following: Roy Acuff (Great Speckled Bird in particular); Luke the Drifter; Teddy and Doyle, the Wilburn Brothers; Ray Price; Webb Pierce; Allison Krauss; Ricky Skaggs

Seems these days if you don't have Sirius/XM to listen to good old country and/or Bluegrass music, the stuff most DJ's play on today's radio stations simply isn't country anymore. So sad!
