Who knows? If I get a burst of enthusiasm, I may even tally the votes this weekend. Keep ‘em coming! Loving your lists. Learning so many songs I don’t know, as country isn’t my area of expertise. 🎸🍺🇺🇸

Great choices. I didn’t count the votes. But eyeballed every list.

These are the winners selected by you:

1. Crazy
2. Jolene
3. He Stopped Loving Her Today
4. Friends in Low Places
5. Folsom Prison Blues
6. Amarillo by Morning
7. Stand By Your Man
8. Wichita Lineman

Rewatching final ep of Ken Burns documentary. Reminds me that Dwight Yoakam/ Steve Earle/ Randy Travis/ Lyle Lovett/ Nanci Griffith/ Kathy Mattea/ KD Lang era is often forgotten as history’s more focused on outlaws and country pop before and Garth Brooks after it.

And Reba and the Judds and Mary Chapin Carpenter and Rodney Crowell and Roseanne Cash. I guess for a neophyte like myself, 80s country is sort of the forgotten era. I must keep learning!

I promised myself I wouldn’t cry watching Roseanne Cash sing “I Still Miss Someone” at her father’s memorial.

I did not keep that promise.

For any other aspiring country buffs, and I am just a neophyte, the 95th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry airs tonight on NBC. And yes, I can’t believe a Jew from Encino is posting country music updates.
