    Another vote for Jolene by Dolly Parton.

    I like a lot of Johnny Cash, my favourite probably being Folsom Prison Blues, but he has so many brilliant songs.

    Trisha Yearwood is a great singer. The Wrong Side of Memphis is a great tune. She does a great live version of it.

    Patsy Cline is wonderful too. Crazy and Walking After Midnight are both great.

    Hank Williams is brilliant, in my opinion. Hey Good Lookin' is probably his most famous, but I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry is great too.

    I find country music funny. On one hand it can be cringe-worthingly awful, and then on the other hand, it can be amazing. You really need the right person doing it for it to be brilliant.
