What about “Ode to Billy Joe” by Bobbie Gentry? Great song, but maybe more “southern” than strictly country.

Lol, Jolene was the worst of the worst of Dolly’s songs!
Ha, ha, that’s classic! I love country music, although not what it is now. Many of my favorites are from the early 90s.
Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox if I Die
The More You Drink, the Better I Look
The Queen of My Double-wide Trailer
Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong With the Radio
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
This Killin’ Time is Killin’ Me
A Better Class of Loser
There’s Somethin’ Women Love About a Pickup Man
Almost anything by Dwight Yoakum and Brooks & Dunn
The list is Country. Not Western. Therefore, Ghost Riders, Marty Robbins, Sons of the Pioneers etc. shouldn’t appear.
I agree, won’t even listen to what they call country on the car radio anymore. It ain’t country, it’s some king of lousy pop.
It is country rap which = crap.
Good ones Bump!
Proof of just how bad it really is:

Remember all of those. And more recently, Gary Allen.
Bob Wills Bump! I love it.
Poncho met his match you know
In the desert down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
But that’s the way it goes
Agreed! I do like most of the afore mentioned songs too. My Maria by Brooks and Dunn.
“Crazy” gets my vote.
My Maria by Brooks and Dunn.
I give up. That’s the YouTube link to the song but it just links the thread... grr!
My Maria by Brooks and Dunn.
Sorry, you can’t beat the original
