re: What’s the greatest country song of all time?

After the Loving by Englebert Humperdinck, if that’s considered country. Played at dang near every wedding reception.

I prefer the classics like “old town road” by the famed country singer and renowned homosexual, Lil Nas X.

If we’re talking songs (multiple)… no one comes close to Shania’s body of work in such a short amount of time. She still holds the record for best selling album by a female in any genre. No one can compare to her, although people try to compare her to Underwood and Swift. Her impact likely led to both of these two in the first place and changed so much in country and crossover music.

She was definitely a trend-setter. So much so that both Carrie and Taylor have surpassed her in album sales. In Carrie's case, she has become the best-selling and most awarded country female artist ever. 85 Million records sold and 28 #1's.

Don't sleep on Jo Dee Messina. She was the first female country artist to score three multiple-week number-one songs from the same album

Don't get me wrong, George Straight > Clint Black
But Clint did produce a damn fine drownin in your sorrows song.

I've sung it stone cold sober in the morning waiting in my car at a red light going to work in the rain.

It’s “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” Possum Jones was great and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” is a classic … although, and I promise I’m not making this up, Bobby Braddock, the guy who wrote it, swears he intended it to be funny.

But it’s a fictional story.

“Your Cheatin’ Heart” is real life. It’s the truth. Because Hank wasn’t singing to people who bought the record. He was singing to Audrey.
