September 26, 200817 yr ^Maybe it's a remake, but Tim McGraw sings "Stars Go Blue", doesn't he? C'mon dude, Tim McGraw is a belt buckle and a hat. He's just like all the rest of the Nashville stars in that he needs someone else to write his songs for him.
September 26, 200817 yr C'mon dude, Tim McGraw is a belt buckle and a hat. He's just like all the rest of the Nashville stars in that he needs someone else to write his songs for him. I know he didn't write it, but I thought we were listing the singers, not the writers.
September 26, 200817 yr Awh...That's kinda sad. :cry: Hopefully you will find your happy ending!! I have learn over the years content is a lot better than unhappy and this I can live with. Overall I can not complain.
September 26, 200817 yr I know he didn't write it, but I thought we were listing the singers, not the writers. How often do the actual writers not do the song first? Tug's son didn't cut the tune until a full five years after it first appeared on Ryan Adams' album "Gold." And I've heard Tug's son's version, and it's nowhere near as good as the original, like most cover tunes.

He's just like all the rest of the Nashville stars in that he needs someone else to write his songs for him. :laugh: :thumb: Ryan Adams is great. As was Whiskeytown. I really hate country. I guess I should say modern country, and I haven't listened to enough of the classic stuff to come up with a decent answer. I liked Jim's choice of "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow, and I would proffer "I Feel Alright" by Steve Earle as my choice. If we consider the Drive By Truckers country I would also add "Gravity's Gone" and "Zip City."
September 26, 200817 yr I am a huge country music fan so there is many songs that hit home with me. That is what I love about country music... for the most part it is songs about real life that everyone can relate to. Anyway, here is just some that come to mind...... I'm No Stranger To The Rain - K.Whitley Homecoming 63' - K.Whitley Coat Of Many Colors - Dolly Parton Go Rest High (on that montain) - V. Gill, P. Loveless, R. Scaggs Everywhere - T. McGraw The Secret of Life - Faith Hill Strawberry Wine - D. carter Live Like You Were Dying - T. McGraw If We Make It Through December - Haggard Sing Me Back Home - Haggard Mama Tried - Haggard Kern River - Haggard He Stopped Loving Her Today - Jones Chisled In Stone - V. gosdin Have You Forgotten - D. Worley Small Town Southern Man - A. Jackson Where I come From - A. Jackson Little Man - A. Jackson Murder On Music Row - G. Straight, A. Jackson Home - B. Shelton Actually just about anything by A. Jackson, Haggard, G.Jones, K. Whitley I can go on and on but the bolded and especially the underlined are really songs that hit home and I am sure that there are others that I can't thin of right now.
