Question about the best country song ever...?

Question

I never really liked Country music, but listening to some of it lately...I really enjoy the messages. One song that I really LOVE talks about "GIVE IT AWAY." It is such a great song!!!! Let me point out that I was the girl that when people asked...what kind of music don't you like, I would say...COUNTRY. I love it now, thanks to that one GIVE IT AWAY song. Can someone recommend some other GREAT country songs? New fan here!

Answer 1

Any song by Johnny Cash

Answer 2

Before you get too involved in the current country music scene, please try listening to the roots of the genre' and understand where it came from. Some of the BEST Country Music is by the pioneers of the craft. Try these on for size and see if this is what you like:



Bob Wills - "San Antonio Rose"

Johnny Horton - "Whispering Pines"

Ernest Tubb - "Waltz Across Texas" and "I Love You Because"

Gene Autry - "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You"

T. Texas Tyler - "Remember Me" ( When the candle lights are gleaming).

Woody Guthrie - "Philadelphia Lawyer"

Jimmie Rodgers - "Waitin for a Train" and "Peach Pickin Time in Georgia"



Good Luck and have fun with it !!!!!

Answer 3

Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Toby Kieth, George Straight, Rascal Flatts, Randy Travis, Garth Brooks, Allan Jackson, Tim McGraw and Brooks and Dunn all rock!

Answer 4

Now that you have really listened to country and liked it, try tuning your radio or t.v. to a country station and really listen to the songs. Most of them have a story to tell that will relate to things you feel. I love country music-My first husband was a country singer ( professional) and we traveled all over the states and I always loved to hear him and his band.I met a lot of country artists too and found them to be so friendly and down-to-earth kind of people--nothing phony .That is one thing that makes country people different than almost any other genre, they are realistic and sincere people.

Answer 5

Lynyrd Skynard- Free Bird, What's Your Name, Gimme Three Steps, and, the greatest country music song of all time, Sweet Home Alabama.



Pure Prarie League- Amie



Eagles- Taking it Easy, Tequila Sunrise, New Kid in Town, Lyin' Eyes, Desperado



Jackson Browne- Doctor my eyes, Running on Empty



The Allman Brothers- Ramblin' Man, Jessica



The Doobie Brothers- Black Water, Listen to the Music



Rolling Stones- Far Away Eyes



Fleetwood Mac- The Chain, Pick up the Pieces,



Bon Jovi- Who Says You Can't Go Home



Seriously, though, Sweet Home Alabama is THE greatest country music song of all time.

Answer 6

Listen to more George Strait songs, I think you will find that you like a lot of his songs. Keith Whitley is another singer you will like. if you like a song that tells a good story, you might try Tom T Hall, a lot of country singers have recorded his songs in the past!

Answer 7

Hello Darlin, Conway Twitty

Montgomery Gentry has some good music...couple of my faves from them are "Gone" and "You Do Your Thing".
