A Litte (Bit) Country
We here at The 'Pent have been listening to some country tunes lately and wanted to list some of our favorites.
He Stopped Loving Her Today -- George Jones -- A beautiful tearjerker of a ballad.
I Can Tell By the Way You Dance -- Vern Gosdin -- I don't know a lot about Gosdin but this is an awesome dance tune.
If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong -- Vern Gosdin -- Another one by the man with some golden pipes.
Family Tradition -- Hank Williams, Jr. -- A famous country song, sung beautifully.
I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool -- Barbara Mandrell and George Jones -- Mandrell was usually too pop influenced for our taste but this one is great.
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry -- Hank Williams -- Not a great recording, but one of the best country songs ever.
You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man) -- Loretta Lynn -- Great toe tapper.
Coal Miner's Daughter - Loretta Lynn -- What list of country songs would be compete without this classic?
Tim McGraw -- Taylor Swift -- We like uptempo Taylor more than her ballads.
Leaving on a Jet Plane -- John Denver -- Simply a great country song.
Where Were You (When The World Stopped?) -- Alan Jackson -- Not sure about the politics, but a pretty song.
Little Sister -- Dwight Yoakam -- Great cover.
A Country Boy Can Survive -- Hank Williams, Jr. -- Kick ass country.
Jackson (Duet with June Carter from "At Folsom Prison") -- Johnny Cash -- Great stuff from the master.
I Walk The Line -- Johnny Cash and Rodney Crowell -- New look at a country classic.
The Night Hank Williams Came To Town -- Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings -- Classic country.
Long Way From Home -- Waylon Jennings -- Terrific stuff from a guy who might be underrated.
He Stopped Loving Her Today -- George Jones -- A beautiful tearjerker of a ballad.

I gotta be one of Vern Gosdin's most appreciative fans. His songwriting is among the best ever. His music and voice is heard at my house everyday. If you haven't heard all of his songs (especially The Gospel Album and I'm no Bible thumper!, spend a peaceful, lazy day taking it all in. A day well spent....
