Country songs that don't suck.


A lot of people, including me, don't really like country music. There's a few songs I do really like.

Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels
The Gambler - Kenny Rogers

I like those two as well.

I like a lot of Sturgill Simpson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R4mzHQWAok

He's the only modern country music artist I really like. Not a fan of Garth Brooks, but Friends in Low Places is Good. As good as I once was from Toby Keith.

Some Willie Nelson songs like Whiskey River.
And Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard weren't bad. Johnny Cash too.
