"Why" and "Hicktown".
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
Hold on a minute- I think you just called Yonder Mountain String Band a country band.
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.
-Todd Snider
So why can't someone say they like something without other people telling them how poor their taste is?
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
The only song I have ever heard from RFs is their "Life is a Highway" remake on the Cars soundtrack. I like it well enough.

"Hicktown" and "Why" were his first two hits but "Amarillo Sky" is his best song so far.
I totally respect your opinion but will never consider groups like Rascal Flatts or singers like Kenny Chesney "country" music. I am not saying they are bad, or that I do not like their music as I do like some of it, but their style of music is much more pop than anything.i disagree that Rascal Flatts is not country. There are very country to me. Anybody that includes a banjo, a acoustic guitar, a fiddle, etc. are country to me.
Their music usually lacks one of the single most important things a country song must have: the crying of a steel guitar!
