Subject: RE: Best country song
Of course, "Country" has many subgenres that one would need to say which is best in each of these categories (and more):
Hillbilly
Old-time
Hokum
Appalachian
Country Folk
Western
Honky Tonk
Cajun Country
Rockabilly
Bluegrass
Western Swing
Nashville Sound
Bakersfield Sound
Outlaw Country
Neotraditional Country
And likely more depending on if you are a musicological lumper or a splitter…
I will not even list the contemporary cosmopolitan "Country" music of today.
