will you just bloody stop it? No-one thinks you're funny, you know!
Yes, well, funny or not, it's time to check out some more of those country songs that I like. Not a huge country fan in truth, but I'm open-minded enough to realise that every genre has its good music, and just because you don't like or subscribe to that sort of music doesn't mean you can't find something good in it. Besides, country music has been around for a lot longer than I have. Course, so has jazz, but then...
Anyway, here is my next selection of country tunes I enjoy.
There's just something I love about this old crooning ballad from the legendary “Gentleman” Jim Reeves, especially when he sings “Turn the jukebox way down low”. Great track, it's called, of course, “He'll have to go”.
And this is the great Marty Robbins, with “El Paso”
My love for the music of Nanci Griffith is well known. This is the title track from the first of her albums I ever heard, this is “Lone star state of mind”.
Bit commercial yes, but I still love this classic from the Bellamy Brothers, “Let your love flow”.
And you just have to love Johnny Paycheck's everyman two-fingers to the boss! Most of us have felt like saying this at some point in our working life...
