Post one of your favorite country songs.
There are a bunch of things that I really like about this song. I like songs which mention other singers, and I think this is a great line:
"where would we be at times like these without the songs Loretta wrote"
I also like the tempo, and the piano bit, and the way Nanci sings "I am" as "I-yam". I like the mention of places like Tennessee, and Louisiana and the Pontchatrain - it's all very exciting and kind of glamorous to an English bloke who has barely ever left Wiltshire.
