Country rock is a genre that’s always been hard to define. It’s not full-on Southern rock, but it’s not straight country either.
It’s damn good music though and it’s a lot better than pop country to me personally. Now according to “Ultimate Classic Rock”, they compiled the 35 best country rock songs of all time…and since we’re not into reading long drawn out things due our ADHD…here are the “Top 10 Country Rock Songs” for you:
1. “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” by The Band
2. “The Weight” by The Band
3. “Heard It in a Love Song” by The Marshall Tucker Band
4. “Willin'” by Little Feat
5. “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere” by The Byrds
6. “Desperado” by the Eagles
7. “Take It Easy” by the Eagles
8. “Heart of Gold” by Neil Young
9. “Lyin’ Eyes” by the Eagles
10. “Midnight Rider” by The Allman Brothers Band
I really feel if the Eagles were a new band in today’s music…they’d be considered country. And them adding Vince Gill to there band was an amazing move in their part too. The man is a perfect addition.
Every time Vince sings “Take It To The Limit” makes Randy Meisner’s memory live on.
