Favorite old country singer and/or song
 

I'm not sure "how old" you are talking about. My favorite classic country song is George Jones - He stopped loving her today

my favorite country singer is Taylor Swift.her new album is very good

My favorite 'old' country singer is Willie Nelson (75 is old, right?), but I wouldn't be able to name my favorite Willie Nelson song... or even the Top 5. I just know that he is a national (world) treasure and it will be a very sad day when time finally claims him.

I particularly enjoy his "Milk Cow Blues" and "Countryman" albums, along with "Stardust" and "Red Headed Stranger".

hank williams - angel of death
roger miller - walkin in the sunshine

I Know This Girl
 

Enjoy my music!!!

"wolverton mountain" by Claude King always makes me smile.

Hank

Slim Whitman
Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

early willie nelson - crazy, this is the part where i cry, and hello walls are some of my favorites

Don Edwards - "Coyotes".

4. Jake the Peg - Rolf Harris :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Jake the Peg is a novelty song, sung by an Aussie who has lived in England for most of his life.
I see you're in Tasmania so I'll let you off, but know that it is not a 'country' song in the accepted sense of the word.

Now if you'd said Slim Dusty instead. :yeah:

George Jones and Tammy Wynette...they made such some wonderful music together...

One



if You want to hear a Love song...I could sing one...
...if You want to feel the fire...We could build one
if You need to catch a rainbow...We could chase one...
...if You want to be together...We could be One

Webb Pierce - There Stands the Glass



Patsy Cline - Walkin' After Midnight



Faron Young - Hello Walls



Ray Price - Crazy Arms



Lefty Frizzell - The Long Black Veil



Patsy Montana - I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart



Hank Snow - I'm Movin' On



Dave Dudley - Six Days On The Road



Loretta Lynn - Coal Miner's Daughter



Tammy Wynette - Stand By Your Man

I don't know if this is old enough. I'm not much of a country fan, but I have always loved this song

...I really love Country duets...Johnny and June Carter Cash...

Darling Companion


The Loving Gift/We



You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold...
...You gave me a song I learned to sing
You showed me some beauty...
...through the windows of Your Soul
and You showed me a world I'd never seen...

Song- Gimmie That Girl by Joe Nichols and Singer- Carrie Underwood or Tim McGraw.

Absolutely love this song. I've seriously just about worn out my Dolly Parton vinyl I got at a rummage sale just for listening to this song.

In spite of his being a total racist *******, and this not being one of his older songs, I can't help but like David Allan Coe's "The Ride".



Also, this Waylon Jennings song is bomb as hell:



My dad's a big Waylon fan, and he played this song so much when I was a kid. Just a good song.

I'm gonna have to drop a mention in the way of Loretta Lynn's Coal Miner's Daughter here, and by mention I do of course mean video;



^ Classic country's virtually unparralelled for me as the genre that tells the best stories, and this here's one of the best examples of why that is.

...another great duet...Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge...

-------

Help Me Make It Through the Night



...come and lay down by my side
'till the early morning light...
...all I'm takin' is Your time
help me make it through the night...

probably the entirety of Johnny Cash's Sun recordings

all of album one of Hank Williams' 40 Greatest Hits (triple album set) - including Kaw-Liga

some Loretta Lynn, most of Waylon's 70s outlaw stuff, some Merle Haggard

somewhere in-between old and new Country...Exile...

-------

Woke Up in Love



woke up in Love with You...
...oh...what a beautiful day
am I still dreaming...

^^ I love Exile

from disco to country was quite a large genre step...but they pulled it off well...Exile is about the only disco band that I listen to...

Only You Can Love Me This Way by KEITH URBAN is my favorite country song and I'm a big fan of Keith too. If you gonna listen to the tune and beyond the lyrics, sure you gonna love it. Keith had a great music, we can't deny it. He's great!!!

Patty Loveless...

If My Heart Had Windows



...if my Heart had windows...
You'd see a Heart full of Love just for You...

Charley Pride

Kiss An Angel Good Morning




Well people may try to guess...
...the secret of a happiness
but some of them never learn it's a simple thing...
...the secret I'm speaking of
is a woman and a Man in Love...
...and the answer is in this song
that I always sing...

...You've got to
kiss an Angel good morning...

Have I Told You Lately...That I Love You



have I told You lately...that I Love You...
...could I tell You once again somehow
have I told with all my Heart and Soul...how I adore You...
...well Darling...I'm telling You now


...or the many reasons...why...



I Love You Because



I Love You...because...my Heart is lighter...
...every time I’m walking by Your Side
I Love You...because...the future’s brighter...
...the door to happiness...You opened wide

I Love You...for a hundred thousand reasons...
...but most of all...I Love You...because You’re...You

I've alwayse been a fan of Mark Chesnutt! amazing country singer

now I'm all wrapped up...
...in the Arms of Your Love...Sweet Love
all wrapped up...
...in the Arms of Your Love...Sweet Love
to know the thrill of Your Embrace...
...is everything that I ever dreamed...Heaven was
I'm all wrapped up...
...in the Arms of Your Love

My favourite old country singer is Muhammad Rafi and song is Oh meri mahabooba tojhe jana ho to ja.

Gotta love teddy bear

The best old country songs IMO are:

"Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams

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

"Always on my Mind" by Willie Nelson

There's also a duet between Hank Williams Sr and Hank Williams Jr called "There's a Tear in My Beer". Hank Jr found the recording 30 years or so after his dad had died, and he mixed their vocals together. They used archive footage to make a video together - it's really sweet!

I'll always remember...the song they were playin'...
...the first time We danced...and I knew
as We swayed to the music...and held to each other...
...I fell in Love with You

Beyond The Sunset - Hank Williams

Opinions?

Tammy wynette-Stand by your man
