Top Ten Classic Country Songs

The Top Ten

  1. Behind Closed Doors - Charlie Rich

    I've very recently made a playlist of every song on this list so far. And now reliving such happy memories of my childhood spent with all the family. Thank you.

  2. He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones

  3. Crazy - Patsy Cline

    You're all Crazy for keeping this at the 2nd spot for so long

  4. King of the Road - Roger Miller

  5. Jambalaya (On the Bayou) - Hank Williams

    This song is fairly simple. The lyrics and music (2 chords) are not all that spectacular, but when you see it performed by Hank and all those who have covered it over the years like Willie, Emmy Lou Harris, Leon Russell, John Fogerty, Jerry Garcia, Clapton, etc, and how much they put into it and the joy of performing this song you can see what a great song this is by its power and influence, and that it is truly a great country song.

  6. My Maria - B.W. Stevenson

  7. Danny's Song - Anne Murray

  8. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams

  9. It's Only Make Believe - Conway Twitty

  10. Kiss an Angel Good Mornin' - Charley Pride

    Best country music song ever. Love the Alan Jackson cover too.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    The Gambler - Kenny Rogers

  12. ?

    Freedom to Stay - Waylon Jennings

    13. The Contenders

  13. Yesterday When I Was Young - Roy Clark

  14. Kaw-Liga - Hank Williams

    As of today (11/2/18) this list is exactly 1 year old, so to mark the occasion, I'm voting for the very first song I voted for 1 year ago today. Still love this song and I still love this list.

    Happy Birthday Top Ten Classic Country Songs!

    You have chosen some lovely songs; some among my own favourites. Great list.

  15. Stand by Your Man - Tammy Wynette

  16. El Paso - Marty Robbins

  17. Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell

  18. I Never Promised You a Rose Garden - Lynn Anderson

  19. Jolene - Dolly Parton

  20. Forever and Ever, Amen - Randy Travis

  21. You're No Good - Linda Ronstadt

  22. Me and Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson

  23. Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

  24. A Thousand Miles from Nowhere - Dwight Yoakam

  25. I Will Always Love You - Dolly Parton

  26. City of New Orleans - Willie Nelson

    I could see that from the perspective of a non-American (though she IS an honorary 'Merican in good standing) this song, particularly by Arlo, would elicit feelings of freedom. But for some of us born to it, it elicits profoundly sad feelings of a traditional America that is rapidly dying, as well as unprecedented freedom under increasing duress.

    I also like this very much by Arlo Guthrie. Today I spent an hour's bus ride playing this on a loop (by Willie). It makes my heart ache with the sense of freedom it gives. I love everything about it by both artists.

  27. Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell
