Country

Top 5 on Friday from the Music Memoirs

Top 5 "Country" or "Alt-Country" songs

Walkin' After Midnight - Patsy Cline.
No list of country songs is complete without Patsy in it.

The Last Cowboy Song - The Highwaymen

The outlaw country supergroup - Johnny Cash, Kris Kristopherson, Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings. Like Patsy, no country list is complete without Johnny Cash.

Number - Cross Canadian Ragweed.

Alt country at it's finest, and the song that introduced me to the genre, and the band.

Rolling (The Ballad of Big and Rich)- Big and Rich

Upbeat, energetic, and has a rap (thanks to Cowboy Troy) - I love the music mafia trying to break down barriers of genre.

I Believe in You - Don Williams
One of the best balladeers in country.

This is a toughie to keep to five, I want to mention Antsy McClain, Mickey and the Motorcars, Brad Paisley (man can that guy play guitar), Oak Ridge Boys, Statlers, Loretta Lynne ect ect ect..
