my Favourite 41 Country Songs

or kind of. Among them made before the 80's started...

There's still thousands of country classics I've never heard, and even more among contemporary country. Anyway I'm so in love with this music style, right now again, so I dare to make an all time list of my darling songs!!!!

Maybe you wouldn't define everyone as country? And maybe you're angry since I got no examples of every really big country singer - but those I have I really have.
