Play me some mountain music, Be-at-tle
Some songs on my list would make a redneck holler, "That's not country!" But when country music absorbs the spirit of gospel, soul, bluegrass, zydeco, folk, and rock, there's some bending of the rules. Did you know Elvis only played the Opry once, in 1954, and was told he was too rockabilly to return?
Times have changed; even Ringo played the Opry in 2025. Onto our alternative list:
Indigo Girls, Closer to Fine
Little Feat, Dixie Chicken
The Beatles, I've Just Seen a Face
Everly Brothers, Close to You
Ray Charles, Georgia
Elvis Presley, That's All Right
Harry Choates, Jole Blon
Skeeter Davis, The End of the World
Bob Seger, Shame on the Moon
Lady Gaga, Joanne
Bruce Springsteen, Atlantic City
The Monkees, What Am I Doing Hanging 'Round?
