Country Music As A Genre And The Best Country Songs

By Todd Alan




Country music as a genre is very popular in the U.S. especially the Southern part. It is also popular in the Canadian Maritimes and there have appeared a grouping of songs overtime that can be considered the best country songs. The 2 top-selling solo artists to exist in the United States were indeed country music singers. This was Elvis Presley and a current performer, Garth Brooks.



Country music had one of its best years in 2006. Country music is thought by many to be never-ending. For that reason it's also said to be difficult to single out a catalogue of best country songs of all times. But the following 10 songs have appeared in the field as the ten best that will have anyone singing along. The first two of these are:

Coal Miner's Daughter by Loretta Lynn - This song is autobiographical in description. It set the stage for her career and the appearance of a feature length film of her life story.

Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers. Believers are created when they hear this song. It captured the soul and created a spirit of love in country music. The contrast in style between these two artists is highlighted in this song.



The next two songs did a lot to reach the hearts of lots of folk and tell their stories of love.

How Do You Like Me Now? By Toby Keith. It is felt that the artist put his heart on his sleeve making and singing this song. It serves to tell the stories of anyone that has loved and lost. The limits are stretched as the ultimate guy query is asked of the previous lover.

All-American Girl by Carrie Underwood. This song made a reorganization in this class by showing that the guts of this music shows up in the mind and spirit of an All American Girl. This song serves to showcase modern country.



After these comes:

Because of You by Reba McEntire. Here again the artist disclosed her heart on her sleeve making her soul appear well. The most toughened of hearts shed a tear upon hearing this song.

Don't Blink by Kenny Chesney. This was a triumph was a song devoted to love. This song removed the stigma that country music was all tractors and blue jeans.



The last four of these top ten best in country music includes A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash; Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys by Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson; Stand by Your Man by Tammy Wynette; and The Gambler by Kenny Rogers which emphasised key advice to all card players.
