Members wkendhacker Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 When I play acoustically and solo, I get a lot of compliments about my "lonesome" sound. well, others have had other adjectives for it, but that one was my favorite. So I'm seriously thinking of changing my setlist from the bluesy oriented thing to more of a sound like Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, John Prine. What do you do that would fit that genre? I'm also working in the occasional Merle Haggard type stuff, just because I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well, if you're cool with the first three plus Merle, you can probably handle any country or country & western song that you like. Here's a rather long list of my very favorite country songs : Alan Jackson Here In the Real World Alison Krauss You Say it Best When You Say Nothing at All Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys New San Antonio Rose Buck Owens Act Naturally Buck Owens Buckaroo Buck Owens Johnny B. Goode Buck Owens Together Again Buck Owens Under Your Spell Again Buck Owens & Rose Maddox Loose Talk Charlie Pride The Last Thing on My Mind Charlie Pride Just Between You and Me Charlie Pride Shutters and Boards Charlie Pride Six Days on the Road Dan Seals Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold) Dave Dudley Six Days On the Road Doc Watson Tennessee Stud Doc Watson Way Downtown Dolly Parton Jolene Don Gibson Oh Lonesome Me Don Gibson Sea of Heartbreak Don Gibson Blue Blue Day Don Williams She Never Knew Me (Single Version) Don Williams Good Ole Boys Like Me (Single Version) Don Williams Amanda Don Williams I Don't Think About Her No More Emmylou Harris Beneath Still Waters Emmylou Harris Boulder to Birmingham Emmylou Harris One of These Days Emmylou Harris Sweet Dreams (Live) Emmylou Harris (Lost His Love) On Our Last Date Emmylou Harris Pancho and Lefty Emmylou Harris & Don Williams If I Needed You Everly Brothers All I Have To Do Is Dream Everly Brothers Devoted To You Everly Brothers Let It Be Me Everly Brothers So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad) Everly Brothers Love Hurts Everly Brothers Barbara Allen Floyd Cramer Last Date George Jones All I have to Offer You is Me George Jones A Good Year for the Roses George Jones Old Brush Arbors George Jones Tender Years George Jones They'll Never Take Her Love from Me George Jones Things have Gone to Pieces George Jones Say It's Not You George Jones She Thinks I Still Care George Jones The Race is On George Jones White Lightning George Jones Faded Love George Jones Not What I had in Mind George Jones A Girl I Used to Know George Jones I'll Share My Word With You George Jones The Window Up Above George Jones & Melba Montgomery We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds Gram Parsons Streets of Baltimore Gram Parsons Brass Buttons Gram Parsons Cash on the Barrelhead / Hickory Wind Gram Parsons In My Hour of Darkness Gram Parsons Love Hurts Gram Parsons Return of the Grievous Angel Hank Snow (Now and Then There's) A Fool Such As I Hank Snow I'm Moving On Hank Snow Ninety Miles an Hour (Down a Dead End Street) Hank Snow I've Been Everywhere Hank Williams I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Hank Williams Jambalaya, On the Bayou Hank Williams Mansion On the Hill Hank Williams Move It On Over Hank Williams Your Cheatin' Heart Hank Williams Half As Much Hank Williams Lost Highway Ian Tyson Navajo Rug Ian Tyson Summer Wages Ian Tyson Old Cheyenne Ian Tyson Four Strong Winds Jim Reeves He'll Have To Go Jimmie Davis You Are My Sunshine Jimmie Rodgers Blue Yodel (Mule Skinner) Jimmie Rodgers Waiting For A Train Johnny Cash Folsom Prison Blues Johnny Cash Five Feet High and Rising Johnny Cash Guess Things Happen That Way Johnny Cash I Walk the Line Johnny Cash Rock Island Line Johnny Cash The Ways of a Woman In Love Johnny Cash Get Rhythm Johnny Cash Wreck of the Old 97 Johnny Cash Ring of Fire Kathy Mattea Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses Lefty Frizzell Saginaw, Michigan Lefty Frizzell Long Black Veil Lefty Frizzell Stranger Lefty Frizzell My Rough and Rowdy Ways Lucinda Williams Drunken Angel Lyle Lovett God Will Lyle Lovett If I Were The Man You Wanted Lyle Lovett The Waltzing Fool Marty Robbins El Paso Maybelle Carter I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes Maybelle Carter Keep on the Sunny Side Maybelle Carter Wildwood Flower Maybelle Carter Will the Circle Be Unbroken Merle Haggard Sing Me Back Home Merle Haggard Today I Started Loving You Again Merle Haggard What Have You Got Planned Tonight, Diana Merle Haggard Carolyn Merle Haggard If We Make it Through December Merle Haggard Silver Wings Merle Travis Dark as a Dungeon Merle Travis Nine Pound Hammer Patsy Cline Faded Love Patsy Cline Crazy Patsy Cline I Fall to Pieces Patsy Cline She's Got You Patsy Cline Sweet Dreams Patsy Cline Walking After Midnight Randy Travis On The Other Hand Randy Travis The Storms Of Life Randy Travis Diggin' Up Bones Randy Travis No Place Like Home Randy Travis 1982 Ray Price Crazy Arms Ray Price City Lights Ray Price Heartaches By the Number Ray Price I've Got a New Heartache Riders In The Sky Wasteland Rodney Crowell 'Til I Gain Control Again Roger Miller King Of The Road Rosanne Cash The Way We Make a Broken Heart Roy Acuff I Saw the Light Slim Critchlow The Brazos River Slim Critchlow The Trusty Lariat The Sons of the Pioneers Cool Water The Sons Of The Pioneers Tumbling Tumbleweeds The Sons of the Pioneers Way out There Tom T.

Members Loner Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 You guys pretty much covered everything I was going to say verbatim. I didn't see Cold, Cold Heart on the Hank list. I like that one for a good yodelin' bawl. I actually have that Louvin Brothers album on vinyl. I wish we could all sit down with these lists and jam! I LOVE old country. If there was one style of music I could play exclusively 'til I die, that would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 If your act is now blues oriented, you might wanna go even further back than the Louvins for a few tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TIMKEYS Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 Work in some texas songwriter stuff. fits well with old and new country and classic rock. typically you can feed this stuff in and end up with a setlist that has great songs that not many groups do all that well.
