Another fine one, I'd say....

Moving some of these from the "Share" thread, so as to not post too many songs in it.

It's all up to the listener but one thing I know is that you don't hear female vocal back up like you do in some of the old songs and that makes them gems... as in ... (and I'm not going to repost Johnny Horton those are in the "Share" thread but his songs did it well too such as "The Mansion You Stole", great backing female chorus or vocals):

Wynn Stewart - It's Such A Pretty World

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

No female choruses, I think those were already starting to disappear in the '70s,  Earl Thomas Conley left the central country music industry because he thought the modernity and commercialism wasn't too good, some harken back to Patsy Cline, etc. and that is good.

Good female backing vocals here:

Connie Smith - Tiny Blue Transistor Radio

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

Now, I don't think this is in particularly a great song, it is pretty good but the lyrics:

"... and the man at the radio station made a special dedication to Jimmy... etc. " okay,

Compare to Gram Parsons' "Return of the Grievous Angel":

"...and the man on the radio won't leave me alone". I've got to think Gram Parson heard Connie Smith's song of a few years before, not a big deal.
Gram Parsons - Return of the Grievous Angel

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

Real good, great but maybe not on the same par as the others.... he died very young, he could have gained a bit more experience and was on the right track definitely.

BTW, today is the 9th? August 16th is when Elvis passed away, so, if I'm not here, one might remember that....

My favorite Don Williams song, "I'm just a country boy"...

Don Williams - "I'm Just A Country Boy"

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
One of his two best in my humble opinion.....

James Thomas Conley - Smokey Mountain Memories

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
Mel Street recorded this in the mid-70s, Street suffered from depression and sadly killed himself. Conley wrote this song, pretty decent.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Who's gonna fill their Shoes? - George Jones

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

I'll go with the possum.  Looks like no one. At least, on a level that these people were at. Make no mistake, some people record very authentic type of country music they just aren't as well known. We probably won't see that.

4 Strong Winds was written by Ian Tyson of Ian and Sylvia, they certainly came up with some good songs (Someday Soon), they were somewhat ahead of their time, sort of country-rock.

Miller's Cave - Charlie Pride

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

A lot of this I heard off the all-night trucking stations so that's probably why I'm partial to a number of songs, others have confirmed it... "Miller's Cave" was recorded by Don Williams, Bobby Bare, Hank Snow, Gram Parsons... I like Charlie Pride's version.  "Miller's Cave" almost seems like an allegory, there may be a physical place where it exists but, in a way, it seems like a mental state as well.. I can hear it that way, "they'll never find me because I'm lost in Miller's cave", Jack Clement wrote it, Clement also wrote for example, "Ballad of a teenage queen"... lost of people plied their songwriting talents.

This song was released in the early '90s originally by the Scottish band (twins?), the Proclaimers, it was basically a new wave song.

Back then, some of these songs I'd cassette record off the radio, this first one, great country or not? I don't know. Commercial but always liked it... and Dickey Lee is still with us, he was a bit around some of the early '60s rock and roll with so-so success.  Over at youtube, there are videos related to the language used over there in South East Asia I think per karaoke... so a bit of a pop success.  Maybe an after-thought to the ? Mark and the Mysterians "99 Tears"......the song was recorded before Dickey Lee's version. Sometimes, arrangement, production makes the song as well.
9,999,999 Tears - Dickey Lee

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
I'd try to remember the exact words, "Got Nine Million, Nine Hundred, Ninety Nine Thousand, Nine Hundred, Ninety Nine Thousand..."

Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge - Sweet Susannah (Cajun)

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
See'est la belle 'la Louise Anne te va fomma faire ma faume
Ta jolie a ta meion a ta pas bon
Some covers leave out those French/Cajun lyrics. I prefer their coverage, a bit of a hidden gem if one did not know this song.

Jim Reeves - Suppertime

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
Another often covered-song, this has been posted before.  I pretty much remember the first time I'd heard it coming off the airwaves one weekend evening....

Linda Ronstadt - Colorado

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
Rick Roberts wrote this while he was in the Flying Burrito Brothers who recorded it too, Roberts went on to help form Firefall.
