Today's video is all about country music songs that deserved to do better -- according to all of us armchair experts. Some of these were tracks that got lost in the shuffle of radio, and some of them just get sidelined by other singles, but in any case, they are songs we liked, but the public kinda rejected.

Bro Midland is soooo underrated and taken for granted how good and original their sound is. By far my favorite country band to date!

“Sound of a Million Dreams” is up there for David Nail’s best song. Honestly he had a lot of songs I thought could be singles (aside from the obvious radio ready songs like “Nights On Fire” and “Whatever She’s Got”) on the last couple major label albums.

@kyliepollert8341 2 года назад

I agree with the Alan, Gary, Chris Stapleton and Kacey song choices. As a matter of fact, Alan has compared "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore" to "He Stopped Loving Her Today". It should've done better than #25 at radio.

Midland has easily become one of my favorite bands of the last decade. Hard to pick considering I don’t think they’ve put out a song I don’t like but “Nothin’ New Under the Neon”, “Fourteen Gears”, and “Runnin’ Wild” all deserve major success. Triston Marez is another phenomenal artist that gets slept on a lot. “Where Rivers Are Red and Cowboys Are Blue” in particular.

@amandaperkins4210 2 года назад

That is such a beautiful and straight-up country song. Probably the best song of Clay’s career. I thought I was the only one who knew and loved that song. I’m surprised that even back in 2001, it charted so low. Biscuits and Shut Up and Fish were also awesome songs, albeit both a little late for their time. These songs sound straight out of the early 2000s. I think the biggest mistakes for both Biscuits and Shut Up and Fish is that they were released in the bro-and-R&B-“country” phase. But they were both AWESOME.

I'm going to go a little old school and say anything Patty Loveless released between 1997-2005. Such great country tunes, but radio left her behind after "She Drew a Broken Heart" in 1996. I know she went bluegrass in 2001 and 2009, I'm not considering those for this comment, but still some great music there too.

Here in the UK we, obviously, have far fewer country stations - but I’m pleased to say that songs like Dime Store Cowboy and Out Of Style still get played quite a bit. Ashley McBryde also draws a lot of water, which is great.

@CHQRails 2 года назад

Big one for me is Three Chords & The Truth by Chase Rice - peaked at #25 and was arguably the best song on his album Lambs & Lions. Yes Eyes on You was probably the best one in hindsight (it did hit #1) by TC&TT was very solid in its own right.

@Horsin4years 2 года назад

Don't know what set off the brigade against "Shut up and Fish" I just remember loving it at the time. My guess is that it came out at the mid to tail end of bro country (and the beginning of the end of the drought of women on country radio) that bros couldn't handle two snarky leave us alone country girl songs in a row.

@shawnmccafferty7010 2 года назад

I'll give you a deep, deep cut. About a decade ago, there was a coed trio that included an African American male called "The Farm" or maybe "THE FARM" and they had a debut single called Home Sweet Home. To you it probably was too pop-country. But to me, that should've been a big enough radio hit to at least give them a little traction in Nashville. The music video for the song even got a fair bit of early play on either CMT or GAC. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be and they faded back into the country music ether. This would've been just a few years after Lady A broke out, and Gloriana also had a little bit of success w/ coed vocals. I just wonder, if THE FARM would have tried to break out now in 2022 (after the success of Jimmie Allen & Breland) if maybe it would've been a different story..

@TheBritishPatriot 2 года назад

Midland is so underrated and Cody’s “Nothin’ On You” is one of my favourite country songs, perhaps it didn’t blow up because of the lyrics adult theme.

@idontknow9161 2 года назад

Dead Flowers by Miranda Lambert. I first heard it when she played it at an awards show, and I thought it was amazing. It was the first single from Revolution and is still one of my favorites from her, but it never took off. I second the opinions on Bourbon in Kentucky. That is one of my favorites from Dierks. Also, What the Hell Did I Say is great too, that flew too far under the radar.

In the Music Or Lose It Top 20 Songs last year, I picked a number of country songs that never seemed to become hits: Yola - Stand For Myself; Grace Potter - Release; Seaforth - Breakups. The country music entertainer who deserved better by country music of all time is Kim Richey (Those Words We Said, I Know). Her songs just weren't the same sound as the 90s/00s of that era so she wasn't embraced well by CMT and country radio in CA back then.

Agreed on so many of these songs! Wanted to share a story about Garth Brooks and "Tacoma" - as part of the launch for Man Against Machine in 2014, Garth joined Twitter and did a secret listening party for the album at The Independent (a club size venue in San Francisco). When he introduced "Tacoma" he made this beautiful speech about how the last song on each of his albums is reserved for a special song/his favorite. He mentioned it was written by a very talented songwriter named Caitlyn Smith and you could tell he absolutely adored that song. In that listening session, "Tacoma" was far and away the stand out. I was bummed about his resistance to streaming mostly because I wanted to hear that song again. When I stumbled upon Caitlyn's 2016 EP, I had forgotten her name but recognized "Tacoma" immediately. Honestly, I think her version is so much better - it's more powerful and shows off her voice incredibly.

@Spitfirethedragon 2 года назад

In the past several years, a lot of the independent and small label artists have released songs to radio, but did not get the traction they deserved. Music Row had a couple of Cody Jinks songs that reached top 20 on their radio charts. Ain't A Train is a good one. It did not made it to Mediabase and Billboard large market charts, but made it to the small market mainstream charts. Ain't A Train by Cody Jinks hit the top 25 for Billboard Country Radio Indicator charts. Tiffany Woys Loved By You, James Robert Webb Stealing Home and many others that had good runs on different country charts, but not the major ones. Carolina Jones Come In (But Don't Make Yourself Comfortable) is off an Independent Label that is outside the system is the latest one that gain a lot of traction but got stalled at number 40.

It's ironic how people complain country all sounds the same when country out of Nashville sounds more pop than some pop music. All to appeal the general masses.

None of Cody Johnson’s best songs went big 😕

Too rodeo for radio

They picked his most boring generic song for the radio. It feels so political it’s disheartening.

Mark Wills - Loving Every Minute was a cracking early 00s song that for some reason never made it big on the charts and radio airplay despite having all the qualities of a top radio-friendly single

George Strait-Drinkin’ Man. One of his best songs in the last 20 years. Brad Paisley-Gold All Over the Ground. Maybe Brads most traditional song since whiskey lullaby and written by Johnny cash. Jon Pardi-She ain’t in it. The song that made me a fan of his and still his best one.

One of my favorite riley green songs that has always been overlooked is little hank! It is a perfect backyard fire song

A song also never released as a single was "Half of my mistakes" by Gary Allan.It's on his 07 "Living Hard"release.In my opinion it's the best song ever recorded.Out of all music genres I think it's the #1 song of all time.When I hear that song my life is being sung back to me.I love music and I love country music.I've seen Gary Allan 3 times and I haven't heard that song yet.Next time I'm taking a sign.HALF OF MY MISTAKES...(Nobody can tell you a damn thing if your not listening.)

On My Way To You ~ Cody Johnson. If I Was A Cowboy ~ Stephanie Quayle. Granger Smith does not get the recognition he deserves. He is good live and has some great songs. Our local guy Nate Smith is finally on his way

On My Way to You ....SUCKS Stephanie Quayle- We Buy Gold and I Want the World for You are amazing I also like the flirty Whatcha Drinkin Bout

“What are you listening to” - Chris Stapleton. It’s wild bc now in hindsight it wasn’t meant to be. But leaving the steeldrivers and having this song tank was weird. I feel like it was a good attempt at mainstream country with his typical stamp.

He should totally re-release it because today it would be a smash without a doubt Right song at the wrong time type thing

"Lay Low" by Josh Turner. It cracked the top 30 but should've been way bigger. As a result, the label delayed his album and "Hometown Girl" was released nearly 2 years later. That one was a big hit but it's just OK for me. Totally agree on "I Don't Remember Me". Actually any Brothers Osborne single other than "Stay a Little Longer" qualifies and that one took forever to hit #1. I get why "Shoot Me Straight" didn't do better even though it rocks but how did "Rum" barely crack the top 30?
