Good Country Song that Never Made it

[Hagar]

There's a bunch, of just Country.  I have several George Stait's DVDs that had good ones they never played.  Heard this song on the radio twice about 3 years ago, and the singer, Josh Thompson, wasn't someone I recognized, but durn I liked it.  It's weird when we really like a song but it never gets popular.  You wanna say, What's the matter with y'all lol.  Anyway,

My favorite one that didn't make it was "Life ain't easy for a Sioux named Boy."

Just got around to listening.  I like it.  Not quite Marty Robbins, but easy on the ears.

Marty Robbin's album "Gunfighters Ballads and Trail Songs" is one of the best albums ever made. I used to have an original pressing, but lost it in Hurricane Ike. I do have the remastered CD, with bonus tracks.

Absolutely, and it was effortless.  No strain, just opened his mouth and that great voice came out.  In the car, I listen occasionally to country oldies out of Htn.  All they play is El Paso.  He had so many other good songs, especially Big Iron & Cool Water.  Also liked Mr. Shorty.  Didn't get a lot of radio play, but a cool song.

That one is a Classic.

Only voice I could go at Marty Robbins with would be Jim Reeves. I do like them both.

Don't forget "A White Sport Coat"

Mexico or Crazy

Had to stick this in here.  Strait's had so many hits, and although this didn't get played, it's still one of my (many) favorites.

My oldest daughter asked me one day "daddy how can people not like George Strait and Jonny Cash songs?" 

I teared up a lil bit. So proud of her I was.
