13325290, Speaking of Country Music, Recommend a country song for non-country
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Apr-09-19 12:46 PM
music fans.

I'll start with

Jolene by Dolly P

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixrje2rXLMA

Surprised no one has flipped that Beat (or have they OKP?)

I know this is probably as country music as country music gets, but dang it always gets to me; willie nelson hands on the wheel.

What you got?

Caught the tail end of this on the radio a year or two ago, just grooving out to the horns

Went home looked it up and actually heard the LYRICS to go along with it
