What are some of your favorite country music songs? Specificly country music

They also have one of my favorite Christmas songs, which is Christmas Carol, as a fan I am sure you know it. I am so glad I got the album and have the song, because it is not a Christmas song you hear otherwise. They have some greats.

I really liked Gretchen Wilson's Here for the Party, but then they played it to much, not yet sure if I am going to be a fan or not to early to tell. I am not to crazy about the whole new album of Toby Keith's. Some of the songs are just so negative, which is a shame, as I am a fan, but this last album has colored my views on him.

I am not familiar with the Let Them Be Little though I like Billy Dean I am going to have to find that song. That is what is great about country music it is both mellow and dance fast depending on the songs, and sometimes a little in between.

I am not familiar with Shooter Jennings thanks for the info I will try to find songs by this person I always enjoy finding someone new to listen to.

Thanks for posting, no California Dreaming is not a country song, it is considered pop. hmm ok well music comes in genre or catagory types. For instance there are songs that are pop, as in popular, such as Beach Boys songs, or Britney Spears. Then there is Rock n' Roll which are the early rock songs from the 50's and 60's. Elvis, Little Anthony, Jimmy Beaumont Then it evolved into Rock with groups like the Rolling Stones, There is also Metal, Heavy Metal, Punk, Rap, Hip Hop, then there is Country Western which is the rather twangy sounds from the early days with performers like Roy Acuff, and Tammy Wynette. This evolved into Country less twang more crossover type songs that some could play on pop stations, there is still Blue Grass, which is offshoot, this type is usually played with fast fiddles, and steel guitars. Country is primarly from the southern states, of the USA, and Nashville Tennessee is where most of it is recorded. There is even a song by Alabama [not the state there is a also a group /band by that name] which states "if you're gonna play in texas you've got to have fiddle in the band" I don't know if it will play there but if you want an idea of country music you may want to go to www.catcountry1073.com there is a icon on the right where you can listen to the radio station online. This station is played in Philadelphia Pennsylvania area, which I know is not the south, but country music is listened to in other parts of the USA at one point country music in the early days was called "cowboy" music. Hope this helps explain what country music is. and I agree California Dreaming is a good song.

I remember all of those songs, and you are so right about the Red Sovine requiring a klenex I remember when Teddy Bear first came out, and I even have besides Teddy Bear, the sequel to that song, Teddy Bear's Last Ride Part 2. Tears your heart out. And I loved the Bellemy brothers, when I was in school everyone was listening to Queen, and Kiss, and Black Sabbath, and I was listening to country, including the old greats such as Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Hank Sr. Sonny James, Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Ray Price, Charlie Rich, and of course the huge controversy when Loretta Lynn kissed Charlie Pride on the cheek at the awards ceremony. So I know about listening to those songs, and remember them well.

KT Oslin has some great songs from that era, such as 80's Ladies, and Do You Still Get a Thrill, as well as Kiss Me Like We're Lovers

I tend to go in spurts where I overplay some songs. I also find that the emotions, and stories of the songs can help express things to others that might otherwise go unsaid since I may not know how to put things into words. I remember the song I Miss You A Little by John Michael Montgomery, he wrote it about the passing of his father. It describes really well the way my mom felt about my grandmother. Mom and I had our times of disagreements, etc, but I played it for Mom and said that it was likely how I would feel about her when she was gone, and that it seemed to be about how she felt about her mom, she didn't really say much after hearing it I could tell it meant something to her. I guess because so many in family have passed away I learned early to tell people when they are still part of our lives how much they mean to us. The other song I played for her that day was Garth Brooks A Friend to Me he wrote it for his wife, but the song is really good for any relationship with a strong emotional bond, such as parent/child, siblings, friends, lovers We both laughed as one part of the song These lines were very meaningful for us : You can be so stubborn There's times I think you just like to fight And I hope and pray I live to see a day When you say I might be right I do think it is a great song about those strong deep emotional relationships.

I know and love a lot of these but one or two I am not familiar with, I am going to have to listen to them thanks for sharing this list.

It is hard to limit the favorites to a short list I know. I also like some older, some newer. Not to heavy into bluegrass though going to see a local bluegrass band tonight. The music is good, the band is good, we see them once a year about this time of year with the in laws who prefer blue grass to anything else. I think I missed A Woman's Love by Alan Jackson, I will have to look for it. Martina McBride has so many great songs it is hard to limit. Though for all time favorite Charlie Daniels I would have to say mine, is Little Folks. I know most think Charlie Daniels and Devil Went down to Georga and Devil Came Back to Georga, but for me the best is Little Folks.
