I love these threads, because a lot of FReepers have an amazing knowledge of music.
I have a few to add:
Ray Stevens - Butch Babarian - yodeling on his favorite alp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYGklrLijks
Jean Shepard - Virginia - Such a beautiful song - I’ve never figured out if Virginia is a woman or the place he left and wanted to go back to. Beautiful no matter which.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d2cWYWbO4s Dorsey Burnette - Tall Oak Tree
This was interesting because someone mentioned Dorsey as they thought he was Mountain of Love He wasn’t, but it was early 1960. Harold Dorman and Dorsey were of exactly the same time. Dorsey’s big hit song of the time was Tall Oak Tree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYGklrLijks.
