He is a joke compared to his father.

Solid for sure, but not the best. I'm gonna go with Crazy or Night Life or He Stopped Loving Her Today

Lol an anthem for sure but no not for me

Its probably He Stopped Loving Her, but several by george strait come to mind

Or grandpa by the judds. That song is perfection

Go Rest High on that Mountain by vince is way way way up there for me too, but i think people see it as more gospel-y

Baws, there is one glaring issue I can't accept...the Mississippi River is NEVER "going dry".

Had Junior changed it to "flowing high", "running high", or "flooding high", the tune could have a legit claim as Best Country Song Ever.

Wrong. Nobody is Hank Sr., but that run of albums Jr. had in the late 70's early 80's was spectacular.


I will concede that he has become a bit of a farce later in his life though.

“You Never Even Called Me by My Name” is the greatest country song of all time, and if you doubt that is true, just go listen to it again. It will tell you itself.

“Country Boy Can Survive” may be number two, though.

There’s several songs on this album that could be in the running for GOAT country song.
