Monk’s Top 20 Favorite Classic Country Songs
I was raised on a healthy diet of classic 80's country music and have always been a fan of the classics so this list is without a doubt the toughest I've ever put together.
Tough but fun. As I was thinking of narrowing down my list of 400 to just 20, I got the chance to really delve in and bring some great musical memories back to life.
Here is the best I can do. If you ask me tomorrow, some of them might change or may move up or down a position or two, but nevertheless, all are my favorites.
