Great "country" songs by Rock Artists.
Many, many great "country songs" have been written and performed by otherwise straight rockers. Let's post some examples to show that you don't have to wear sequined clothing or wear your hair in a Beehive to put out some straighforward country music. (Caveat--let's leave out the Southern Rockers, such as Marshall Tucker/The Eagles, et al.--everyone knows that they played a modified country/rock already). I'm talkin' about stuff like this:

I admit I don't recall Stranger in the House, but he only thing "country" about the other tunes in this thread is if you mean "the United States is a country"
Stan: the Eagles are neither Southern nor Country.
But they do do that thing that Joey told Jake his mother does in the classic pay phone call in Raging Bull.
Edit: I don't mean Dead Flowers....that is a good example...

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years.

The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
