Heh, fun.

12 bar blues is universal, as it turns out.

OK.

What about this one, written by Buddy Holly

Sounds more country than the Kenny Chesnutt song does.
Nothing uniquely country about the lyrics, but the arrangement is Nashville-like.
The Chesnutt song didn't have "arrangement."  It had orchestration.

It's not even a very good Aerosmith tune.
I don't know how active they still are, but their last few albums have been mostly filler. This is a very generic retread of "Angel" (one of my favorites).

Yeah I haven't really loved an Aerosmith song since the 80s probably.

80s/90s country like Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, George Strait, Clint Black?

Classic country like Willie and Waylon, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash?

Vintage country like George Jones, Buck Owens?
Country (n-Western) is not really my bag, but I like the above, except that I don't care for Garth Brooks (my thoughts about him color my appreciation of his music) and I don't really know Clint Black's music.

I don't know if this disqualifies me from having a right to an opinion, but I really liked the Judds at one point.  Before Wynona went off on her own to demonstrate how big an asshole she could be.
The older brother of my wife's best friend played keyboard for the Judds for awhile.

I was never a big fan of the Judds.

Well, except Ashley Judd.  I liked some of her movies back in the 90s.

Hank Williams is certainly a classic country artist.

But that song doesn't mention mama, trains, trucks, prison, or getting drunk.

So I suppose it's not really a country song after all.

Many's the Saturday night that 3-4 fraternity brothers and I would have an after-party at the Denco Cafe in downtown Norman.  (Yes, Norman has a downtown.)  We'd play every Hank Williams song on the jukebox.  "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Lovesick Blues," "Long Gone Lonesome Blues," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry."  A couple of other classics worked their way into the rotation: David Allen Coe's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" and Tanya Tucker's "Delta Dawn."

Thumper would know about Denco's.  And the fine cuisine.

Here's another one even older than 320.

Yup, that's old.  A classic for sure.

Just like our lh320.

That piece of music, in that performance at Carnegie Hall, legitimized swing music.

Here's another one almost as old.
