Good call on Townes. This is an obvious choice but I've always loved it:I could list 10 favorites for 10 different reasons, Jerry Jeffs Mr Bojangles is the one I've played the most by far but....

Thank you for posting this. I love this song, too. I first heard McGraw and Faith's cover and thought, "Wow, that's a real country song." It's very well produced and Tim delivered a great vocal on it.Tons of great responses - and a whole lot of things I would like to contribute - so many great songs...
I'll throw out an oddball but I do think this is nearly a perfect country song - both the song itself, the lyrics, the melody, as well as this performance which is a duet between Bruce Robison and his wife Kelly Willis, and the arrangement how it builds, the accordion, pedal steel, and the baritone guitar solo. Just brilliant. This was a big hit for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and it is one of their and their kids favorite songs they've done for good reason ... just a classic. But I like Bruce and Kelly's version more (I'm a fan of both of them together and individually)
Awesome!Good call on Townes. This is an obvious choice but I've always loved it:

Until I left TX a month ago, I was in a country band that did that song. And it still fills the dance floor. At least in TX. Tubb's band in the '60s had some great players.One of my dad's favorites, the Texas Troubadour himself:
