I’d go with Ghost Riders.
You picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille
This is probably the same Lucille.
Lucille--Clyde McPhatter & the Drifters (1954)
That last one used to just really get to me when I was a sensitive little girl. It just seemed Ruby was so heartless and mean.
This Ruby has got to be better.
Ruby--Richard Hayman & His Orchestra (1953)
You’ve Got to Stand For Something...
Harper Valley PTA (Later that same day)--Ben Colder (1968)
Thank God I’m A Country Boy
by John Denver
Best Country song ever.
“Pride o’ the Farm” The Dixie Dregs 1980
Indeed, it is.
I spent one night in Georgia--at a motel in East Point, when I missed a connecting flight out of Atlanta while traveling from Washington, DC to Los Angeles. But it didn't rain.
No mention of Tom T Hall (Old Dogs and
Children), Sony James (Young Love),
Kenny Rodgers (Lady), Clint Black, (A
Better Man), Brooks & Dunn (Neon Moon),
Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson, Vince Gill,
Randy Travis, Charlie Pride, George Jones.
They all have a song I would consider
top hits of the list.
Six Days on the Road--Dave Dudley (1963)
Tom T. Hall wrote this one.
What We're Fighting For--Dave Dudley (1965)
Young Love--Sonny James (1957)
That song ‘Young Love’ takes me back when I was a little girl hanging out at the neighbors watching the adults in the room all singing that song........wow....memories! Amazing how music trips events in our life!
“Hide it so Deep” Stephen Stills. Manassas
I have liked “The man in the Big Hat is Buying” by Jerry Jeff Walker for a long time. Also, El Paso.
#28. Jim Reeves and Jim Lowe, ‘Four Walls’.
How about “The Fighting Side of Me”?
12. “Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.)” — Glen Campbell (1975)
No Ray Price, either. Or Marty Robbins. But there’s room for Amarillo By Morning? Classic it ain’t, and I’m from Amarillo.
