The best thing is this list could be 500 songs and we'd still all be pissed off our favorites weren't on it because there are so many good ones
Most of mine were on here
I was hoping for "class of 57"
Exactly! Country is the best, the lifestyle, the story’s, everything about it is awesome!
Why do all the Commentators on this video seem to Hate the Dixies Chicks? Is it because they don't like them Musically or because they don't like their Politics. Even President Donald Trump think the Iraq was a Mistake based upon LIes. This is one reason why the Bushes hate Donald TRump.
You’re right mine was Smokey on your front door by Waylon Jennings
In all fairness I don't really think you can have a top 10 top Country songs of all time
without it being a top 500 list ( at least) . Because there are so many Great Country classics that deserve recognition.

My personal opinion is, most of what Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Bobby Bare, Tompall Glaser and Kris Kristofferson, sang deserves to be at No1
My Dad was a great singer and played guitar. He played “ played “ He stopped loving her today “ for my mom. He loved Cash. He died in 2005. Made my heart miss him.
You have warm memories of him. He sounds like he was a good man.
That's the year I was born
Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain is hard to leave out!
My personal favorite tooooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My favorite
RIP Legend Kenny Rogers 1938 - 2020
RIP Mr Rogers! Your music and voice are legendary, I will always love Sweet music man , written for Waylon Jennings. ....amazing song and lyrics!
He will be missed
RIP :(
RIP Waylon 1937-2002
My daughter loved him as a little girl ❤️
Remember when Country music was good?
+Stephen Morris Some of us do. The younger people have only heard chit.
Wait, country music was good?
+Tommy Truth I disagree im 15 and this is the type of music that i always listen to
+Tommy Truth I agree with Styler Prime - I'm 16 and listen to singers like Johnny Cash and Chris Ledoux. You have to remember that not every young person is the same - however I do agree that most modern and recent music is quite bad. I listen to almost every genre of music, with some dating back to the 60's onwards.
+Stephen Morris Agreed. Now they are Pop Singers singing about stupid chit. Some even have rap crap playing on the radio. What the heck!?! I don't have satellite radio in my truck but I bless my cd player.
LORD,I HAVE LIVED IN THE BEST YEARS AMERICA AND COUNTRY MUSIC WILL EVER HAVE.THANK YOU,,,
AND in Rock!
I hear you both!😕
El Paso...love Marty Robbins. I used to play EP on my accordion.
I love all the older country music.
SANDRA, I'M WITH YOU, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SEE A MONDERN TAKE ON CLASSIC COUNTRY CHECK OUT CHARLIE MARIE "HEARD IT THROUGH THE RED WINE"
Same 🤠
Same. I grew up listening to that because my grandparents. Mostly my granddad loves older Country music.

Alot of songs missed but everybody has their own top 10.
What’s your top ten
Amateri
Tbh you need a top 50 with all the good songs of the past
Yeah, but "everybody" don`t count...remember "Kenny Rogers and the first addition"?
I would of put George Jones “The One I Loved Back Then.” And Hank Williams “I’m a rolling stone” in there.
I grew up with country music, that was all my Dad allowed. But when I left home for good in 1970, I listened to everything and developed a wider ear for music. Thank you for this video. These were in my early memory. You never forget good songs.
Patsy Cline's "Crazy" is the top jukebox song of all time. It's as good today as it was the day Willie Nelson wrote it. Maybe, just maybe it should be #!.
I like the way Linda Rondstadt does it. The voice and the style comes together.

Some Broken Hearts Never Mend - Don Williams. Classic.
Don is underrated.
@@the_illegitimate_jedi3479 Agreed, that song is in my head at least once a week.
A good song but nowhere near the top10. Not ever close. Johnny Cash had a top 10 list and every one was better than anything Don Williams ever did.
Seven Spanish Angels - Ray Charles and Willie Nelson
I agree 100 percent how it's not on this list is crazy
Daniel McNeil one of my favorites.
One of your 'honorable mentions,' "El Paso," by Marty Robbins, dominated both the country and pop music charts in the spring and summer of 1960. It should have been among the top 10. Likewise, "Coal Miner's Daughter."
One of the greatest songs of all time
That was a good one
El Paso. Marty.
That was a great song.
Agreed
Everyone who grew up with country music knows there are hundreds of great country artists.
Unlike today on country radio the same few songs are played to death.
There's great country today....!!! Luke Bryan...all kids of great songs...IL come back with. A list lol
That fiddle in Amarillo By Morning no matter how many times I've heard in my life always gives me chill bumps.
Nahh..the original written and sung by Terry Stafford in 1973 is hella lot better.
Chas Gregg AMEN!!!!
He did not say anything about who sang it, rather the fiddle which, if you knew the original, contained the same notes on the fiddle.

You Never Even Called Me by My Name - David Allan Coe

What the hell!
one of the best drinking songs ever!
@@samlong674 actually its prob for the best. Have u heard his song "whips amd things?"
More than 30 years ago I was watching a country video clip with many singers together singing for something ( unfortunately I don’t remember the title 😔) but since then I became a huge fan of country music ♥️
It's 2021 and I’m still listend to this beautiful song . LOVES COUNTRY MUSIC❤
What about Alan Jackson and Jhon Denver? "Remember When", "Country Roads" and other songs deserve to be in the Top Ten.
Yes1000%
You can have only ten songs in a top ten

Country roads is more folksy
@@jonamato6466 john denver is folksy 100%
Anything Johnny cash hits a different chord with me, my grandfather was his steel guitarist. So naturally Cash influenced the majority of my upbringing.
Wow your grandfather was Johnny Cash's steel guitarist ! How wonderful ! I grew up listening to Johnny Cash, as my Dad was a big fan, and my siblings and I also became fans. Saw him in concert twice. Love his music.

Very cool.
I've never been in the US, but I fell in love with country music when I spent some months living with my sister who was married to an american military in Germany and she introduced me to a friend by the name of John Lynch from Colorado who used to wear cowboy hat and boots. He bought me a couple of cassettes at the army commissary and took me to a place where there were pretty german girls dancing country music and told one of them to teach me how to dance, and God! I've totally got stuck to country music forever, and I'm panamanian and I can tell you, lots of people in Latin America love country music. Greetings from Panama.
Good on 'ya man. Stick with country music!😂
@jimvinson6046 r u have bad taste😂
My top 10
Ray Price For The Good Times, John Connelly Rose Colored Glasses, Brooks and Dunns Neon Moon, and/or Paint Me A Birmingham by Tracy Lawrence. Don't Close Your Eyes by Keith Whitlley, I Let Her Lie by Darrell Singletary, or maybe Remember When Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt's Anymore. Blues Eyes Crying In The Rain and Hello Walls by Faron Young.
If you've seen an older guy sitting alone most weekdays after work in any small bar USA, minding his own business and playing any of these songs our paths may have crossed.
Great list!
You put a tear in my beer
I have to say:
David Allan Coe - You Never Even Call Me By My Name
... is the perfect country and western song. It says so in the lyrics.
written by Steve Goodman.
I guess nobody here cared to take that ride
0Myles0 Tennessee Whiskey! or his version of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay!!
It has it all, momma, gettin drunk, trains, prison.
And realized my friend had written the perfect country and western song… and I felt obliged to include it on this album.. it goes like this here
@@Purple_soda9x9x9 you don’t have to call me mister … mister… the WHOLE WORLD CALLS ME HANK!!
First time I visited Amarillo I had been driving 20 hours through the night on a long trip headed to San Antonio I was coming from Bozeman Montana and was making good time I planned on stopping in Amarillo to rest I was very tired as I was coming into sight of Amarillo a golden sun had began to rise on the vast horizon of the Texas plains I switched radio stations looking for something more Upbeat
Amarillo by morning began to play on the radio it was one of those pleasant moments in life one of the ones you don’t forget I remember that moment every time i hear that song
Seven Guardians this is so poetic I almost don’t want to believe it
Tyr surreal moments are rare in life don’t forget them
It was the end of August 2001 if I wasn’t so broke I would have stopped in Denver and stayed in a motel but I could only afford one stay so I pressed on through the nighto Amarillo
Amaxzing story. Goosebumps
Seven Guardians SOOOO LUUUURVE this song by George Strait.
Real classic country music hit the skids after the 70's.
I still love Johnny Cash, I remember calling my grandma crying because Johnny Cash broke my heart by marrying June Carter even though I had never met him before lol, my grandma calmed me down and went to my friends house and picked me up and took me home.
Willie Nelson - Blue eyes crying in the rain
Lucijan Omerzel My thoughts exactly!!! 🤘🏻
Had way to much Willie Nelson already
Fuck Willie for supporting Beto!
Pat Hartzell I hate Beto but that’s my boi Willie... that hurt...
That song was actually written in the 1940's. Willie did Red Headed Stranger in a garage studio in Garland, TX. The producer wanted to dress it up and Waylon told him as is or F off. The Last Thing I needed the first thing this morning was to have you walk out on me. Now there is a country song.
Brought back childhood memories of dinner time at my home. When my daddy would get home, the country & bluegrass vinyl LPs would go on. My dad passed away in 1999. When I hear Johnny Cash especially, my heart swells full of love & appreciation for music, all music genres. Thank-you! Oh, my favorite old country-pre 1990- Tammy’s “D-I-V-C-O-R-E”!! A blessed 6 years in August!
Yes that’s Right Nana.Happy New Year Nana..?
RIP!

My all-time favorite country song is "Midnight In Montgomery" by Alan Jackson. This song is what got me into country music. There's a zillion other country songs that I could list being great, but I'll leave it at that!
Johnny Cash is always the King of Country Music . Stars burn out , Cash was not only a star but now a legend , and legends live forever
King of country?? No way! Several others better than him. Musically speaking. It's all personal preference.
Cash would be the first to tell you that there are many besides himself. Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Roy Acuff, Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, and the list goes on. Enjoy your Johnny Cash records. How did I leave Merle out?
@@rebeccav9969 nah Johnny is the king
Nah Slim Dusty.

George or Conway.. and it’s not even close after that.

I mean you COULD spell it right. ROGERS. he’s not a quarterback for Green Bay.
‘Okie from Muskogee’ and ‘Hey Good Lookin’ should also get honorable mention.
É impossível escolher apenas 10 canções entre tantas obras primas do universo tão vasto como o country music.
I feel so fortunate being able to listen to these unique singers no singers today can perform like them.
“You Never Even Called Me By My Name” is THE perfect country and western song!
I understood that reference 😂
Lmfao I got it as soon as I saw it
Great song
This song is written by shel silverstein
They don't mention that Willie Nelson wrote the song crazy
He Stopped Loving Her Today is the quintessential coutry love song.
You mean it's dreadful ? I could name 100 better, and I am British, so apparently I know diddly-squat about country music.
If a list doesn't have he stopped loving her today as number 1. it's a joke of a list.
Apparently you do not, Graham.
It is number one.
@@wildturkey3776 yes sir. Agree. In my top 10 list, I'd have to put Conway as #1A.
"Kiss an Angel Good Morning" and "Is Anybody Going to San Antone" by Charley Pride, "I Cross my Heart" by George Strait and "Livjn' on Love" by Allan Jackson would have got my vote!
I'm from London England. I love Country. Ghost Riders, pretty much anything by the Highwaymen, Country will always be, when other genres have long died. Keep on. Oh, Me and Bobby McGee.....great!!
Hank Williams could have filled the entire top 10!
Hank could make a Blues singer cry!
Yes sir. All Top 10 should be the man. HS
Best country singer ever
I agree
Hank would of filled the top best 50 songs. I love Johnny but Sunday morning coming down was and is better then ring of fire, but nothing beats your cheating heart by Hank Sr.
In your opionion
I wish they had a radio station just for older music because I like them
There is one XM channel 59. Willies place. All old country
We got one in my area recently that's 70's 80's and 90's and I hear it everywhere, lol. And thank God because certain stores, etc would have on today's country because that was the only option in local country stations and I had no choice but to listen to some of it. I was genuinely stunned at some of the crap I heard.
Pandora
Actually, in my area we have a station that plays 60s,70s, and some 80s so this is where I get my love for the 70s.
@@chicagonorthwesternrailfan9486 We use have a station use due the same until they stop it. They said because no listen to it.
Johnny Rodriguez. Very underrated country balladeers with that gorgeous voice. Hillbilly Heart. Desperado. Among others.
When I was little I didnt know it was Amarillo by morning and I’d always run around my house singing im a rebel by morning
Not even a big C+W fan but "He Stopped Loving Her Today" brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it
That is a beautiful song.
It was playing when my husband of 39yrs passed away
When country music was only country music....the way it should be.
George Jones' 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' is the best CM song. Ever.
Conway....Hello Darlin
See for me it's Straits Amarillo by Mornin.
How can it be the greatest country song of all time, if George jones isn't even the greatest country singer of all time? Because that's no doubt Merle.
He Stopped Loving Her Today the best country song of all time!!!!
Agreed!
Who’s gonna fill their shoes- George Jones
Is one of my favourite songs
My favourite is Mama Tried- Merle Haggard
Considering Dolly’s I Will Always Love You being more successful than a few of these at least, it deserves a place on the list. When it goes to #1 for weeks and weeks by two different artists and appears on one of the top 10 albums of all time, that’s pretty impressive.
It's more of a ballad, sang by a country singer... But not really a country song.
Couldn’t agree more. I can’t stand it, no matter who sings it. It’s an absolute shocker.
Loba Étoile couldn’t disagree more. It definitely has plenty of country elements.

Hank Thompson THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE; Buck Owens TOGETHER AGAIN; Webb Pearce THERE STANDS THE GLASS; Roy Clark TIPS OF MY FINGERS; Don Williams I BELIEVE IN YOU; Jim Reeves AM I LOSING YOU. I don’t have a favorite. Too many great songs! 🌹❤️🌹
EACH AND HONESTLY EVERYONE HAS A WAY OF TOUCHING MY HEART AND SOUL. THANK YOU
George Jones and Johnny Cash swap places. "He Stopped Loving Her Today" Is phenomenal and my vote for number one of all time. "Coal Miner's Daughter" should definitely be in this list, in the top 5.
Overall, very good content.😀😀😀
I agree Coal Miner’s Daughter should be on the list! Everyone went crazy & still do, hearing just two words, Hello Darlin’! Who leaves Conway off!?!
Yes conwat sure should b there wow
Conway
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso...
Seven Spanish Angels, at the alter of the sun.
Poncho needs your prayers it’s true, but save a few for lefty too.
I'm Moving On by Hank Snow was number one for about six months and on the charts over a year.
I came here to say that. Unfortunately, these lists tend to be America-centric.
" Country Road " by John Derver is a hit.....top 1 in my list
Probably the most known country song.
kenny rogers' best song will always be Ruby. you painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair. ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere. haunting.
Very few songs in history no matter the genre paints a picture like Ruby. I swear they could do a movie on this song, and the screenwriter would barely have to break a sweat.
@@kevvegas nice suggestion. maybe I'll do that.
That was with the First Edition
@@barbaracampbell9907 Yes it was. Sometimes the best stuff comes first.
Where is Dolly Parton on this list
"Jolene" and "I will always love you" are legendary
or working man blues for gods sake
dolly parton has a special place in hell for her part destroying public perception of country music
Yes yes yes
@@ryantresaugue5067 and you have a place in hell for this god awful opinion
How in the world did it turn...just watched...or let’s say I used my remote to fast forward the country music awards...other than Reba there was very little country in anything I heard....hated it
The Statler Brothers, “I’ll Go to My Grave Loving You” deserved to be here. Johnny Horton an honorable mention.
It how the singer sings the song and present it.
Thank you world was my favorite Statler brothers song. Also love the great Ronnie Millsap
My dad was a professional drummer for 60+ years. He played with Johnny Horton back in the 50's.
Marty Robbins singing "El Paso" should have been on your list. It's my favorite country western song and tells a great story.
If Waylon were here, he would agree.
Glad I’m old enough to love old country
Sunday Morning Coming Down
maybe as good as it gets
Straight masterpiece.
Nice to see some of the country legends here. Country music is the best. No noise, no screaming,just hearing a voice clearly.😎
I've been playing nightclubs professionally for 40 years and I played all kinds of music heavy metal Rock blues country Bavarian folk you name it but I thought to myself when I play this video it better have luckenbach Texas on there or I'm going to throw my phone and guess what the very first song was you got it Waylon Jennings luckenbach Texas that's a beautiful best country song ever written love the way he sings this
My fav country song will always be "He'll have to Go" by Jim Reeves! Love all these artists and their songs, but there's SOOO many fantastic country songs it's just to hard to whittle them down to just 10!!!
Jim Reeves' song was really good. I sing it to myself a lot.
Willie is a singer/writer/guitarist that has, and will always be one of the most influential storytellers of all time.
AMEN!!! PLUS HE ALWAYS PLAYS OVERTIME IN CONCERT! THE BEST!
When I was thumbing from Montgomery
I had my guitar on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
He was dressed like 1950
Half drunk and hollow eyed
He said it's a long walk to Nashville
Would you like a ride? Son
Well, I sat down in the front seat
He turned on the radio
And them sad old songs coming outta them speakers was solid country gold
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale
When I asked him for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said, "Mister, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard ride"
doug bishop DAVID ALLEN COE
I thought this was a top 10 myself
You don’t have to call me mister, mister, the whole world calls me Hank!
Sweet memories.
Now that really is a great song!
I like some modern country; loved late 90s through 2005 country; but this list is hard to argue with. I was NOT a fan of old country music but have learned to appreciate it as I've aged. Thanks for your list!!
Dolly Parton's "I'll always love you" Number 1 three times by three different artists.
Missing Highwayman, Folsom Prison Blues, Jolene, and any Charlie Pride.
Word
Watch mojo limit 1 song per artist. Could easily be a full list of Johnie and Willie.
Waylon only honorable mention that's a shame.
I was hoping to see highwayman
@@Mr.JaysBigAdventure Or Merle. Or Hank Williams, Sr. Or Buck. Or Marty. The list goes on!
I will always say that "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones is the greatest country hit.
Couldn't agree more.
Yes, It's probably the first country music song.
"Crazy" by Patsy Cline is hard to top.
VoiceOfReason Reviews Charlotte and Jonathan
VoiceOfReason Reviews crazy
Ghost Riders in the Sky (Johnny Cash), Thank God I’m a Country Boy (John Denver), I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton), Home on the Range (Gene Autry), I Can’t Stop Loving You (Ray Charles), Rawhide (Frankie Lane), Happy Trails (Roy Rogers), Back in the Saddle Again (Gene Autry)
My favorite songs not mentioned was Why Me Lord and He Stop Loving Her Today of course many more I haven't listed or thought of at the moment.
He stopped loving her today is one of the saddest songs ever!
THE 70s were the best years for country music ever , And there's no JOLEANE By Dolly , AND No country Roads By John Denver ,, Give me a break ,, And no Devil went down to Georgia ,, What ever lol ,, The 1970s BABY
Yeah I absolutely agree with you lol
I too love the song but sure wouldn't ever want to be as needy as the subject of it.
@@LB-ty6ks really that's interesting lol
No Dolly, no Winona...big mistake!
Fun fact: Garth Brooks’ smash hit “Friends in low places”, was originally recorded by legendary country artist Mark Chesnutt. Garth was able to get it rolled out before Mark, and the rest was history.
El Paso and The Devil Went Down to Georgia should have been higher than just an honorable mention.
Country music has always been looking at the blue side of life, and one of my favorites has been Hank Williams' " Love Sick Blues".
Yessir you gotta love Hillbilly Shakespeare. Lost Highway, Jambayla, Love Sick Blues and Kaw-Liga are all easily in the top 10
Hank Williams will always be my favorite
My dad was not a singer. But he loved that song, and could sing it very well.. I always think of my dad when I hear lovesick blues.
I am legitimately upset Waylon Jennings didn’t merit an entry
Totally agree.
Waylon was a fine guitarist, and perhaps one of the most influential songwriters of his generation. Not to mention the effortless majestical vocals.
And from all I read, an all around good guy!!
Who was that onstage with Willie singing mamas dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys?
me too hoss waylon was the best
John Napier E, Waylon don't get no respect!
There were a number of songs from johnny cash that should have made the list like
1) folsom prison blues
2)I walk the line
3)Boy named sue
I think his later ones like “gods gonna cut you down” and “hurt” are really powerful songs
Ring of fire
Sunday Morning Coming Down is also a wonderful Johnny Cash song.
General lee as well

When country was 🎉🎉REAL and alive🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Kris Kristoferson's "Me and Bobbie McGee"..."Sunday Morning Coming' Down"....
Oh my god I love Johnny cash I actually screamed when I found Johnny was first . Please go listen to his other songs cocaine blues Folsome prison walk the line and then there’s the group highway man and America remains are good ones ❤️
He stopped loving her today sums it all up,when country use to be country
And the Race is On, by Dwight Yokum (I think) That one brought me back to country Yee haw !! love it. Nice collection. Thanks so much
Methinks George Jones kinda did that way back when Dwight was still an embryo !
@@patrickairth1276 It was then covered in 1989 by Sawyer Brown who amped it up quite a bit and had a top five hit with it as well.
The talent and the content are so deep, it's VERY difficult to arrive at ONLY the top ten County Songs, but your list contains no duds, and your honorable mentions are great, too. I'm not a Big W. Nelson fan, but who would claim he doesn't belong? Ring of Fire, George Jones, Tammy, Hank, Patsy....what can you say? They're big hits are ALL top ten.
Songs not mentioned that I love.........Coat of Many Colors, Walking in Memphis, City of New Orleans, Thousand Miles from Nowhere, and Remember When, but that's just the first five, and that's me.
Thanks for the list and the memories.
Cash is great but you forced "ring of fire" to number 1 because of his overall popularity. "He stopped loving her today" is number 1 on way more list than any other song. Any hardcore country fan knows this song takes the cake.
how is Waylon not on this list but Kenny Rogers is?You might as well throw Taylor swift in there while your at it. Kenny was as pop back then as she is today
Sorry I love Cash but I agree with you, Waylon "owned " the 70s and where's Kris!? As for Rogers people forget he was a failed pop singer who's country career flamed out relatively quickly. I'm biased but Waylon gave country it's edge, while Kris gave it maturity ( nobody was singing about sex like he did)
+Tommy Petersen I like cash as well but I personally think "he stopped loving her today" should be #1 for allot of reasons. Like I said I've watched allot of all time top country songs lists and this song is consistently on top.
I wish one of Waylon's songs were on here and the only person I could justify disqualifying is Kenny Rogers. All the other songs on the list are legit.
Mojo needs to make a top male country artist list. They have a female but I can't find a top male list.
+Derek Rogers I never really thought if Rodgers as a country artist, he just sort of fell into some good songs but once that well dried up he faded. Waylon on the other hand, country, rebel, and trailblazer.
+Derek Rogers 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' has to be the greatest Country Anthem ever penned. Cash deserves to be on the list but not #1. Kristofferson didn't even get a mention!?!?!? 'Loving Her Was Easier' was lived by every man who is a man. I just don't get it. Dixie Chicks, Kenny Rogers ??? it would nearly put me back on the drink just thinking about it. No Buck Owens, DAC, Marty Robbins. Is it just me???
+sledge1960 I am sorry nut Kristofferson never had the voice. Great actor, would see any movie he was ever in. He was only a basic guitarist, and there are many artists that only sing. But he often sings off key and has no strength in his voice. It was only his acting career that ever let him on stage.
Honestly surprised Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings or Dolly Parton didn’t have anything on there!
That’s when you know the list is trash
Waylon was first artist on this video.
Or ..Hank Jr ,..or D.A.C.!
"Well, I was thumbin' from Montgomery

Amarillo By Morning. Such a beautiful song.
Sunday Morning Comin' Down
People do not understand the song until you live it.
Other good ones:
Don Williams (e.g., "Good Ole Boys Like Me")
"Seven Spanish Angels"
Something written by Kristofferson (e.g., "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" sung by Willie or Cash)
"Pancho & Lefty"
Patsy Cline "Walkin' after Midnight"
Something by Emmylou Harris (e.g., "Red Dirt Girl")
Bonnie Raitt "Something to Talk about"
Alabama "Song of the South"
... and lots more from Willie--e.g., "Angel Flyin' too Close to the Ground", "Unfair Weather Friend", "The Last Thing I Needed", and "When They Lay Me Down"
It's about time someone mentioned Don Williams.
I clicked on this video for not the list in the video but the comments. The songs mentioned in the video are great too but have found absolute hidden gems from the comments so thanks everyone.

Gypsy woman is a country song in what universe ?
Ring of Fire: number 1 on this list, 3rd on top 10 Johnny Cash songs..... What
Lol Ikr
+Kaleb DeGroot each there own
+Kaleb DeGroot exactly right most of the top 10 here are not really true country.
EVERYONE knows the best country song EVER is "He Stopped Loving Her Today". No doubt about it. I'm 62 and I've heard some GREAT country songs but that seems very clear to me.
Couldnt agree more with you Violet, I adore this song so much. I am 44 but have grown up with country music all my life and the older I get the more and more I appreciate it
3:37 I use to dance to "Amarillo by Morning" years ago.
Every time I hear Patsy singing "Crazy", it warms my heart and blows my mind. Such a woman!
I can’t believe The Devil Went Down to Georgia was only an honorable mention.
Yea it should have been number one cause that wasn’t Evan the best Jonny cash song and the 3rd list made me laugh cause there ain’t no way that crazy made better than a George strait song like did they forget about Garth brooks as well cause what about his song the dance that’s a hit and friends in low places was a great song it never should have fucking been placed low
Agreed!
It’s Overrated!
@@mooreandyoungproductions140 you have no opinion, you just proved your IQ by caring about this video 7 years too late
wow u r a hater
How one could not have Dolly in the list and give the Dixie Slicks an honorable mention is asinine.
FYI, the Dixie Chicks changed their name. They’re now called “Two Hotties and a Fat Chick.”
@@todd1547 LMAO nah as funny as that is, they're going by The Chicks now in case anyone requires a warning
@@todd1547 ROFLMAO..Too funny
@@todd1547 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Just saw/heard this .Inasmuch a I am 90 years old and began listening to radio, "High atop the Phill Tower in Tulsa, Oklahoma, KVOO presents Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys". Then there was "Grand Ol' Opera". Gene Autry i Movies and radio, Hank Williams, Ernst Tubbs, Eddy Arnold,Johnnie and June, Asleep at the Wheel, Willie and Waylon. Not to mention Patsy Montana, Benda Lee, Dolly, Barbara, Patsy, Loretta...If you would like to limit your list the 21st Centuy, I won't agree but I won't argue.
Some good songs but leaving Dolly out just invalidated the list!
