Today’s batch of songs…
This one really captures Loretta’s feisty attitude:
Loretta Lynn – Fist City (buy album)
And this one really captures the Bakersfield sound:
Buck Owens – I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail (buy album)
Here’s one from Bob Wills’ last recording session:
Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys – That’s What I Like ‘Bout The South (buy album)
This Louvin Brothers’ tune later became a hit for Emmylou:
The Louvin Brothers – If I Could Only Win Your Love (buy album)
Maybe the best of Dolly’s many melodramatic hillbilly hits:
Dolly Parton – Coat Of Many Colors (buy album)
Is anybody out there?

I am.
No maybes about it, I think that Parton song is her best (melodramatic hillbilly hit)...
And Buck Owens two days in a row! Woo Hoo! (or should that be 'Y(h)ee-Haw!')
Thanks guys! Yeah, I really love that Dolly song too. Not many singers could pull it off the way she does.
i read everyday. guess i should comment more often. i'm loving the posts...
Nice to see a lot of artists that just missed my top 10 showing up in the 11-15 slot overall.
