I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.

Surprised there's no Guy Clark picks.
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
The same thing that happened to C&W music happened to NASCAR. It got preppy! LOL

Boo. Boo to that.

Could anyone see Merle, Waylon, or George singing a song like Achy Breaky Heart? LOL

Boy, there are so many. Can't give any love to Tennessee Whiskey though, because it's a complete ripoff is Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind". A lot of other great suggestions though.
Even "Trashy Women" by Confederate Railroad deserves an honorable mention.

I gotta say, I'm mostly a Classic Rock Guy. I had been listening to Pink Floyd and the Doors when I stumbled on this thread. It's been George Strait stuff since then.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

I think Jerry Jeff Walker wrote that. Not sure why I know that. Fun song.

Springsteen actually used to do it in concerts. Claimed he liked the song. I lived in Nashville not long after it was out, and there was a story that the writer had been peddling the song around town for years to the point that it was an object of mockery.
But Billy Ray turned it into a couple of nice mansions.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
They have all recorded songs just as hokey. I remember George singing a song about drinking from a Flintstone jelly jar.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

Absolutely true. But I'm talking more about the beat (style) of the song, not lyrical, and that it just doesn't "fit" into the C&W genre that I grew up with.
JMO, but I loved southern rock (from Allman Brothers to Lynyrd Skynyrd), and I think that has had a big influence on today's C&W artists.
And I noticed this gentleman hasn't been mentioned (my Dad really liked him) ....

Does any of the new country songs fit into traditional country sounds? I think it’s more pop/boy band esqe contrived drivel.Absolutely true. But I'm talking more about the beat (style) of the song, not lyrical, and that it just doesn't "fit" into the C&W genre that I grew up with. (

I was a Freshman in college. A stupid move, and I'd lost my sweetheart. "Misery and Gin" just released that summer, was my story. Loved that song then, and still do.
