I have to go with Ricky on this one... "Farewell Party" by Jimmy Day... uh, I mean Johnny Bush will bring tears to your eyes. Outside the steel playing and the lyrics, I love the way the rhythm changes up on the chorus.

Respectfully,
Dave Burr

I was just kidding about Toby Keith's "I
Wanna Talk About Me". My true choice is
"Slowly" by Webb Pierce which introduced
the pedal steel guitar to country music
played by the great Bud Isaacs. Joe

...But seriously folks,

This wasn't a big hit at any time but you can't deny the song, the voice or the steel guitar pickin': "Sweet Thing" by Buddy Starcher. Sung by Steve Young with pickin' by the Big E. from Steve Young's critically acclaimed 1976 album Renegade Picker. A real gem that eloquently states what country music is all about.

Keep on pickin'!

Well, some of you can't count to 1, but I can (don't make me prove it) and it looks like Farwell Party wins.

Seems ironic that we'd leave a song about death for future generations. Always liked that one, but it's a bit morbid. 'Course I see the undertaker liked it. Image

Death by Committee here...

I don't think it could be done, to sum up one song that would "BE" Country music for all generations to come. What are we looking for here? Sad, "I've lost everything," music? Love songs? The occasional "I'm actually happy with my marriage and life" songs? Songs about that "good ole country" way of life? the "I've got a drinking problem and I don't care if everybody knows about it" songs?

If you ask most kids my age, they'd probably spout off something on the order of Pat Green or Charlie Robison. The kind of kids that haven't ever HEARD of Randy Travis, Vern Gosdin, or Conway. I'd be willing to wager that everybody on The Forum could give a half dozen each for every category above.

So, the answer is, "It depends." Myself, I'd include something with the good Pedal Steel in it, so take anything from any Conway or Vern recording, and toss it in. I like 'em all.

This is a hard one,so many wonderfull country songs that live in my memory but I think I'll go for "Don't let me cross over" by Carl and Pearl Butler. Killer song and as country as they come.
These people never got the recognition they deserved.IMHO.

Caution, everybody! This subject (real country music) could be very inflammable! I´d like to share with you a reply by Bob Hoffnar posted 01 December 2001 12:23 PM on my thread “Broilers vs real artists”:
----------------
“I find the whole concept of one approach to music or art being more "real" or better than another to be be delusional at best.
I have met plenty of phoney jerkoffs that say they are into real country and plenty of hard core pop comercial performers that are as genuine and truly heartfelt as they could be.
To insert the value judgements of good versus bad or real versus fake between musical forms has little or no meaning to me.
I leave that crap to people that would rather talk about music than make it.
Bob”
