The Steel Guitar Forum

If you could chose just ONE song to put in a time capsule for future generations to hear what REAL country music sounds like, what song would it be? My choice would be "APARTMENT #9" by Tammy Wynette ONE SONG PER CUSTOMER PLEASE!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Larry Miller on 23 November 2001 at 09:37 AM.]</p></FONT>

First define "real country music"

(then duck!!)

I'll vote for "Your Cheating Heart" by Hank Williams...

Nick, forumites should choose what THEY feel is real country music, if it's TYC, so be it.

"Invitation to the Blues",by Roger Miller

I was gonna suggest "Islands In the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly, but I decided "What A Way To Live" by Johnny Bush would be more appropriate.

For Future Generations--Country Music???
One of the songs would have to be "I Wanna
Talk About Me" by Toby Keith . Joe

Everyone has a favorite,my all-time is "Farewell Party"by Gene Watson,it really gets it done.

"FAREWELL PARTY" without a question. Gene singing and Lloyd playing one of the best solos ever. Wow what a song<<<<<<<<<.

How the hell did Toby Kieth get in here?

"pick me up on your way down" ..Charlie Walker and Jimmy Day..is all I'd need to be happy !

Kyle, now you can talk about Meeeeeeeee---
I have to get to band practice Joe

No doubt in my mind> Farewell party!

Leigh

The Gene Watson version of "Way To Survive".

Together Again, Buck Owens and Tom Brumley

"Farewell Party"....Johnny Bush version with Jimmy Day on Steel.
Ricky

Hmmm . . . somebody already took Hank, somebody else took Buck. Then I'll say "She Thinks I Still Care" by George Jones. Throw into the time capsule the story of George riding off to the local tavern on his lawnmower after Tammy took his car keys away!

Rob Yale

My pick would be "Look At Us" by VINCE GILL. The lyrics are very romantic, a well-written song by two great songwriters. Andrea Zonn plays fiddle and provides great harmonies. But the frosting on the cake is the great STEEL throughout, courtesy of the great JOHN HUGHEY. I think it's one of the all time great steel parts ever.

Joe! What fun would this forum be without talking about someone? But Toby Kieth? how could you possibly, Oh, never mind!

I agree! Look at us is the best I've heard, & if you've not heard Hugheys instumental version of LAU your missing out on something that brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it! kr

Borrowed Angel by Mel Street & Lloyd Green.

" Farewell Party ", " Together Again ", " Sing A Sad Song ". I cant make up my mind. Martin.

Add me to the votes for Your Cheatin Heart

Gotta go with GW and Farewell Party. He should have got some kind of award for this one alone or all the things he has been to Country for so many years !!

Regards, Paul

Hank Cochran's "A-11" as recorded by Johnny Paycheck.

"If you play A-11, there'll be tears"


alternative:
"Pardon Me, I've got Someone to Kill" also by Paycheck

"Big City" by The Hag.

I'd make it the version on "Live At Billy Bob's Texas". You get more Norm Hamlet steel that way.
