“Thank God I’m a Country Boy” is pure sunshine in banjo form. John Denver’s joy is infectious—every fiddle lick feels like a front porch stomp. It’s not just a song, it’s a yeehaw manifesto. #CountryClassic #JohnDenver #NowPlaying 🪕🌄

Faron Young (1961)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P1R...
Another early song writing effort from #WillieNelson which quickly established itself as a #CountryCLASSIC (and established Young as well)

I've got your picture
That you gave to me ...

Patsy Cline (1962)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qpa...
Follow-up to biggies, #IFallToPieces & #Crazy - writer #HankCochran guaranteed this would be another hit & was right, it crossed-over from the #CountryChart to the #Hot100 reaching #14 - #CountryCLASSIC

She could dance that slow Bandera
Shuffle to some cowboy hustle ...

Guy Clark
#OldNo.1 (1975)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX4K...
That debut album was staggeringly good - this was the lead-off track which set the tone - #TexasToons #CountryCLASSIC

I wish I was a millionaire
Play rock music and grow long hair ...

Willis Alan Ramsey
#WillisAlanRamsey (1972)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS1h...
Born in Birmingham, AL but raised in Dallas, TX, Willis just qualifies for the #TexasToons descriptor and more than one track on this LP is a #CountryCLASSIC

When you came along, oh happy was I
When you went away I thought I would die ..

Ricky Nelson (1958)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez96...
One of my very early purchases was #PoorLittleFool - flip it and you got this Nelson-written countryish ditty which I found I preferred to the A side - #CountryCLASSIC

I have seen the mornin' burnin' golden on the mountain in the skies ...

Kristofferson (Single 1971)
But this is a live version from #BBC4 in 1972
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCgn...
Demonstrating not only that had a way with words but that he could also sing well when he tried - #CountryCLASSIC

If I had my way
I'd leave here today, I move in a hurry ...

Bobby Charles
Final track on #BobbyCharles (1972)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoVa...
Album cut with members of #TheBand plus #DrJohn in attendance (and track covered by #SirDoug with a fine version) - #CountryCLASSIC

Don't know how to tell her that I didn't get that raise in pay today ...

Charlie Rich
#TheFabulousCharlieRich (1969)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Azu...
Written by Charlie's wife, #MargaretAnnRich and it's a great song given an equally great performance from Charlie - #CountryCLASSIC

… Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts
And one is dancin’ like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

Butch Hancock
Live in Austin - where else?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f_2...
Typical quirky affair from the key songwriter from the #LubbockMafia - #CountryCLASSIC #TexasToons

I'm growing tired of the big cities' lights ...

Jerry Lee
#YoungBlood (1995)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eSL...
Jerry has a good crack at a number associated with #JimmieRodgers who cut it first but didn't actually write it - note the #yodelling - #CountryCLASSIC

Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home ...

Merle Haggard
And The Strangers (1966)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNu_...
An escaped convict story not written by Merle but vaguely related to his prison sentence for burglary - #CountryCLASSIC

Her name was Joanne, and she lived in a meadow by a pond
And she touched me for a moment ...

Michael Nesmith
& The First National Band
#MagneticSouth (1970)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gQW...
Country or country rock? Does it matter? Whatever, it has #RedRhodes on steel guitar #CountryCLASSIC

Now, blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
An old storm brewing in this heart of mine ...

Ray Price (1956)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guri...
A record that most probably introduced the term #TexasShuffle to a country audience - #CountryCLASSIC

When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted ...

Lee Ann Womack
#IHopeYouDance (2000)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c0-...
Song written by Buddy & Julie Miller - there's a fine version from Buddy too plus an excellent one from Solomon Burke - #CountryCLASSIC

This old town is filled with sin
It'll swallow you in ...

The Flying Burrito Brothers
#TheGildedPalaceOfSin (1969)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcU0...
The #CountryRock breakout group from #TheByrds - Chris Hillman & Gram Parsons share the writing and they harmonise on the vocal lead - #CountryCLASSIC

In this world today while we're living
Some folks say the worst of us they can ...

Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs
And The Foggy Mountain Boys (1957)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P1W...
Just take those lyrics on board - #CountryCLASSIC

It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you ...

Waylon
#ThisTime (1974) but this cut is live
www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0XV...
Song written by #WillieNelson which makes it double bubble #TexasToons, it's also a #CountryCLASSIC
