Who doesn’t love sax? Sax makes things better! So, why not a countdown featuring some great sax? If you read that wrong, it’s your fault. I do mean saxophone solos. Note to JJ: don’t worry, you bet it’s here. Actually, JJ is partially responsible for this, because every time I mention a certain song (that’s on the countdown, fear not) he’ll mention how much he likes good sax. A note about the order of the songs: they’re not so much in order of how much I love that particular song (because some of my favorites are on this list), but based on how much I love the sax solo in the song. That does change the order a little. So it’s time for some steamy sax! What, sax in a Western swing song? Yep, Glen Reese added a lot of punch to the Liberty-era Bob Wills recordings, as evidenced by this solo that doesn’t sound out of place or the least bit un-country:

This is the only country song on this countdown. Not a lot of sax in country music.

@LindaOHio — with these self-driving vehicles we’ll soon have a country song where the guy’s pickup truck leaves him…..

Sax or no sax that is the question. Never listened to anything like this and not too much into jazz but nice to add it to my musical education

Speaking of sax, this one for me would be my first time. Somehow, I remember my first time being better than this. Oh well. I do remember it being awkward, kinda like this saxuel encounter.

My younger son plays good sax. It’s a gift many don’t have. In any event, I love listening to him play his alto sax. Nice tune!

Hahahaha...... Sorry my mistake..... I misread the title and continued reading till the second sentence thinking something else in mind and already into imaginations as well. Yes......even I love sAx... Though I don't know how to play it, I definitely love to listen.
