Thread Name: Best country song
Subject: RE: Best country song
"Hank Williams is the Once and Future King of Country Music, in my opinion, and "I'm so Lonesome I could Cry" is his best song."
"I am with LonesomeEJ on this. It has to be a Hank Williams song and his best is "So Lonesome I Could Cry"
         
Lonesome EJ called it, Sinsull seconded it, and I "third" it!!

As for "He Stopped Loving Her Today", I personally can't stand it, I have a fairly high tolerance for sad, and for sappy. But the way Jones whines out this profoundly maudlin ode to pathological obsession is way too much for me!!
