Top 24 Country Songs From The Genre’s Five Best Singers

160 Comments

Many modern Americans do not listen to country music, for some reason or another. They listen to a whole lot of other modern music garbage but claim that country music “sucks” or is “boring” or “old-school”. For the modern male (those living in America especially), I feel that it is especially important to start appreciating this genre of music for what it is.

In this article I will be outlining the main reasons why I believe that more red-pilled men should listen to country music, as well as my top five country music artists and their songs that I highly recommend.

Reason 1: Red pilled lyrics

Referring mainly back to the good ol’ days of country music – the era of Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and the like – I can honestly say that much of the lyrics are red pill as f*k.

After being introduced to this genre from a young age by my father, I slowly grew to enjoy country music for it’s simplicity, traditional elements, great lyrics, and red-pill truth that is revealed in many songs.

Among some of the red pill topics I’ve heard in country music lyrics are: struggling with temptation (sexual intimacy, booze, drugs, etc.), coping through times of hardship, knowing when to fight and when not to, being lonely, losing a father (or other relative), and many more.

Reason 2: Traditionally American/Canadian

Unlike modern music, country changes little and although you now have countries outside the USA producing their unique brands of country music (think Australia, South Africa) as well, it still remains an American- and Canadian-dominated genre.

Most country singers will be seen wearing cowboy uniforms, hats, etc. They still believe in sticking to American/Canadian roots and traditions. Even the female country singers must be some of the most feminized women you can find nowadays in the music industry (think the likes of Shania Twain, Ann Murray, Kacey Musgraves).

So if you consider yourself conservative and traditionally American but don’t listen to country music, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! Without further ado, I shall move on to the best country singers of all time and songs I recommend from each one:

1. Kris Kristofferson

My personal favorite, Kris Kristofferson has a gruff voice that he uses equally well for both telling stories and singing. His lyrics are about as red pilled as they get, so this is one country singer I highly recommend to newbies.

Best songs: 1. To Beat The Devil (temptation and struggle through hardship)

2. Help Me Make It Through The Night (loneliness, sexual desires)

3. Sunday Morning Coming Down (loneliness, boredom)

4. Why Me Lord (gospel song)

2. Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash is known as one of the greatest artists of all time, incorporating elements of rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel into his music. He too, is a shining example of masculinity : he helped to dig his brother’s grave, he was arrested seven times, and he served in the Air Force.

Best songs: 1. Understand Your Man (dealing with women’s bullshit)

2. Solitary Man (loneliness, difficulty finding a good woman)

3. I Hung My Head (killing a man for no reason!)

4. Folsom Prison Blues (time spent in prison)

3. Kenny Rogers

Another great example of traditional masculinity, Kenny Rogers is also an iconic country artist and is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Best songs: 1. Coward of the County (message to son to not follow his footsteps)

2. Ghost of Another Man (seeing another man with his wife)

3. I Wasn’t Man Enough (self-explanatory)

4. Lucille (woman leaving man with responsibilities at inopportune time)

4. Willie Nelson

A true veteran of the Country genre, this guy is renown for popularizing the “outlaw country” music genre. While he may be more liberal, as is evident by his use of marijuana and his activism for biofuels, he still remains fairly conservative in his songs, which mostly reflect upon earlier times (“cowboy” days). Most notable for his long locks of hair and his guitar “Trigger” which has a hole in it, and his American patriotism.

Best songs: 1. To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before (self-explanatory)

2. City of New Orleans (American pride)

3. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys (glorifying cowboys and their lifestyle)

4. Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys (warning to mothers but encouragement to masculine men)

5. Pancho and Lefty (song about betrayal of Mexican outlaw Pancho Villa by his sidekick Lefty)

5. George Strait

Last but not least on this list, the so-called “King of Country” Mr George Strait, another alpha male cowboy country singer. This guy has undoubtedly looks made countless panties wet in his time and I’m sure continues to do so even today. Listed below are slightly more songs than the rest just due to this guy’s awesomeness.

Best songs: 1. All My Exes Live In Texas (self-explanatory)

2. Troubadour (about growing old)

3. The Fireman (different interpretations, but most common being that it’s a metaphor for a guy who bangs hot women or “puts them out”)

4. I Just Want To Dance With You (about not hesitating with women, taking the lead)

5. Cowboys Like Us (glorifying cowboy life)

6. Murder On Music Row (ode to dying traditional music and rise of degenerate modern music)

7. The Seashores of Old Mexico (about an outlaw finding refuge in Mexico)

Conclusion

The above mentioned country artists are merely five of the best. I realize that I have not mentioned ALL of the greats and I will address this in a future article. I will also be addressing different music genres and their respective red pill artists in future articles.

  1. “but don’t listen to country music, you ought to be ashamed of yourself!”
    Really?
    Yeah let me listen to the genre with the highest correlation of suicide.

    1. I dare you to put on David Allan Coe’s Cum Stains on the Pillow and blow your brains out.

  3. Kenny Rogers? Jesus Tittyfucking Christ. But then again, Kenny is allegedly worth some $650 million, so what do I know?
    As you say, no list can please everybody. Gotta put Merle, Waylon, and Billy Joe Shaver on it somewhere.

    1. And not to belabor the point, but (being in the business) Kenny and George personally wrote very few (or none) of their hits. Kenny got rich off Don Schlitz’s work. George sings a lot of Shawn Camp songs.

    3. Kenny Rogers is worth $650 million? Well then, that makes him legit. Money makes a man. Y’know… El Chapo is worth billions and I won’t even get in to Pablo Escobar.

  4. Soundtrack of my youth, right there.
    I always liked “The Chair” by George Strait. The lyrics are just the words a man is saying to pick up a woman, and in the end it works. Better, still, if you sing it to a country girl you can usually be in her bedroom before the last bar (assuming you have a Strait-like voice and a good-size belt buckle).

  5. Whatever experience I have with country music came from the Fallout games. The following song is one of my all time favorites. So simple and so badass!

        1. I love country, and particularly guys like Marty. Not only was his music the backtrack to my childhood (I remember my dad playing it for me when I was…three? four?), but he was himself a great guy. From what I hear, he loved his fans and was known to buy them beer, just so they could hang out and drink.

        3. My mother loved Marty Robbins, whenever he was on television we watched it. I recall him regularly getting tickled about something then he would start making faces at the band members trying to get them to laugh or slip up.

  6. Country can teach you a lot of things, such as:
    The dangers of oneitis:

    How oneitis can drive you mad:

    The struggle between male instinct and his commitment to faithful marriage:

    The things that really matter in life:

    And more

  7. Like my papaw once said “Nashville the Bible belt by day, the garter belt by night.” I’m not sure if this was in a country song or not.

  8. No Hank Williams? Alone and Forsaken is redpill as fuck.
    “She promised to honor, to love and obey. Each vow was a plaything that she threw away.”

    1. Hank was the man.
      Lost Highway, Kawliga, Your Cheating Heart, that guy could write.

    2. I spend a lot of time alone at work listening to the radio a lot. When I got a smart phone I downloaded the IHeartRadio app so I could listen to whatever I wanted and took a notion one day to listen to Hank sr. They play a lot of songs he recorded on a weekly radio show he did in the late 40s early 50s and they include some advertisements he did and sometimes when he talked to the host or his audience. It gives a different perspective of him that’s different than most of what’s printed about him. I always had the impression that he was just a disagreeable drunk judging from what I had read and while he certainly had his problems there was a lot more to him than that.
      That guy had more talent in his little finger than what many modern artists could ever hope for.

      1. I only learned in the last year that Hank was born with spina bifida and spent his life in severe pain. In the year prior to his death, he took a fall and went through a botched surgery for the injury. So he had been taking prescription painkillers and washing them down with alcohol in a desperate attempt to make the pain stop. And eventually it did.
        Changes one’s perspective as to his merely being a drunk.

      1. I think Heidi’s probably the best face of the bunch. Drop it a couple of years, maybe.
        I need to run this picture to my buddy. He thinks Jennifer Aniston’s still hot, and that’s just not healthy.

        1. Heidi Klum looks like a dude, man. That manjaw, that bodybuilder neck. I thought she was pretty. Damn, ain’t that a kick in the head…

        2. I reckon if you dialed it back a couple of years, the testosterone might not be so potent. She’s probably got the best skin of the bunch, and she looks the least drugged-out.

      2. Gwen Stefani: Fuck me, Bob.
        Me: I can do better in a 50-cent fancy house.

    3. Klum is starting to remind me of Iggy Pop. Stefani is well- preserved for her age tho

      1. The miracles of makeup…holy shit, it can make a skank look like a beauty queen.

        1. My father told me that women in the film and modeling industries are just average or below average looking women who were made to look beautiful with cosmetic surgery and make up.

        3. He also told me that the prettiest women don’t whore themselves for attention and stay at home and look after the family.

        7. I’m probably one of the few guys who doesn’t find women more attractive when they wear make-up. No matter how well done it is, you can tell there’s something unnatural about how a woman’s face looks with make-up vs. without.
          If you only find a woman hot when she wears make-up, she probably isn’t that hot.

        8. You’re not the only one. If I see a woman with tons of makeup on her face, that’s a red flag right there.

        9. I totally agree. My criteria for judging a woman’s hotness depends on how good she looks without makeup. She’s either hot or she isn’t, and makeup doesn’t count.

        10. Then there is body accentuating with butt and boob lifters, which seem to all go together.

        12. Go to a casting call sometime. The beauty is unfathomable. There are deeper reasons why these 4’s are hired and it doesn’t hinge necessarily on talent.

    4. Celebrities are massively overrated looks wise. I guarantee you can find hotter women at your local starbucks or whatever.

        4. My reaction to this is like Arnold’s in that scene when the Predator takes off his mask:
          “You’re one ugly motherfucker.”

        5. Me, too. It’s all an illusion – Hollywood (the type of wood old-time magicians used to make their wands with).

        6. I used to be hot for Sofia
          But then I saw her in the morn
          I used to be hot for Sofia
          Thank god I’ve got Internet porn…

        10. Are you suggesting she looks better in the “after” picture?
          She looks like a mannequin made out of plastic in the second picture. But hey, whatever floats your boat…

        12. Her face looks like an ergonomic sciatica chair cushion in the “before” pic. Should mold that shit for a line of office task chairs.

        13. Why not the main part: “please sir, can I have some more….silicon in my arse?

        15. Hey man, I’m eating over here. Start putting a trigger warning on these things.

        17. Good point. I think she looks better in the second picture, in terms of not making a guy vomit at first glance. But makeup and plastic surgery is…well…makeup and plastic surgery.

      2. Agreed. Someone asked me who my “celebrity crush” was recently, couldn’t come up with an answer because a.) don’t watch much shit b.) don’t give a fuck about celebs 3.) I’ve seen a few of the hottest girls I’ve ever seen at my local Publix/gym

      3. Poor Kutcher fell down the well. Ukrainians and Russians have a shelf life and when they fall off…they fall right off without pause. Be careful boys.

      1. She’s got a butterface, everything looks good but her face.

      2. It’s weird how appealing she was in that stupid movie– because she got way less pretty right after. Something about the way they shot her? Or did she hit a miniwall at 20?

        1. I have literally spent hours trying to work out what happened. I was really looking forward to Something about Mary, but even then just a couple of years after the Mask her ethereal beauty had gone. So, did they do something to enhance her in the film, or did she as you suggest hit the miniwall?

        2. I’m with you. It has bothered me for years.
          I’m thinking miniwall.

        3. reminds me of that episode of seinfeld where the girl jerry is dating looks stunning one moment, then the next. Except it just happened one time

        1. Shes a throwback. Take the hook out of her mouth and throw her back in the river

    8. It’s like going to bed with a fox and waking up with a coyote. You want to chew your arm off so you won’t wake her up while you’re trying to sneak out of the house.

        2. It might be terrible, but I’ve seen it happen more than once. The most fattening substance in the world is wedding cake… 😉

        3. This dude walks into his kitchen with a duck under his arm. He looks at his wife and says, “This is the pig I’ve been fucking”. His wife says, “I hate to break it to you, but that’s a duck”.
          Dude says, “Shut up, I wasn’t talking to you.”

        4. “Women marry hoping he’ll change, men marry hoping she won’t.” …an old saying I’ve heard since I was a kid. Beauty is indeed fleeting.

  10. oh nose this page is approaching Wally P load times! This thread is right up his alley

  12. “My Maria”…B.W. Stevenson (1973).
    Dude died at age 39, but he left this song behind (oh man, that refrain) –

  14. The keys to a long and satisfying life,
    Faster horses, younger women,older whiskey, more money- Tom T. Hall

  15. Oddly enough, lately I’ve noticed a lot of younger people listening to classic country. We have a local station that plays music mostly from the mid 90s all the way back to the 50s and there are a lot of young people around now that love that stuff. My grown children (mid 20s) love it and have even gotten me started listening to it.
    I always preferred hard rock music mostly, never cared for rap and I had thought I heard enough classic country when it wasn’t classics. Any time you rode in the car with my parents country music was what you heard. Now that I’ve gotten older I enjoy going back and listening to that stuff. CONWAY TWITTY AND RONNIE MILSAP ROCK! Lol

  16. “…We are heroes of the homeland, American remains
    We live in many faces and answer many names
    We will not be forgotten, we won’t be left behind
    Our memories live on in mortal minds
    And poets pens
    We’ll ride again…”

  17. Sting did a great version of I Hung My Head.
    but good songs all around.

  18. For something a little more modern to make you laugh check out “My Drinking Problem Left Today” or ” Them Pills That I Took” by Hank Williams III.
    He actually does a little too much cussing in his music to suit me but those are two great songs.
    Or one of my favorites of all time “Uneasy Rider” by The Charlie Daniels band. If you’ve never heard it do yourself a favor and go to YouTube now and listen.

  19. 5 great artists with red pill music though some of the artists are more red pulled than others and some just better men from what the rumors are. That’s another topic altogether though. What I want to get into here is that while country is more red pill and more realistic than a lot of genre’s there’s still a lot of bad to watch out for.
    For instance, Rascal Flatts. This was the “boy band” of country and all they sang about was basically how pathetic they are and how it’s cool to be so damn pathetic. Keep your sons away from that crap. And daughters. There are a few other country artists in this vain.
    Also, the lyrics from most female artists country songs from the 90’s forward are usually very feminist, girl power or skank power. Case in point, Shania Twain and “Man, I feel like a women,” and “Any man of mine.” Gorgeous girl, catchy tune, great vocals, and lyrics about as useful and inspiring as a can of garbage. Some may also remember Gretchen Wilson. Athletic body, horrendous face, lots of make up, mediocre voice. Just put her in a four wheeler in music videos and have her sing about purchasing her skank shorts at Walmart. The modern day Miranda Lambert might be the worst. I think she’s probably cute, but damn, her song lyrics are all about girl power. Watch for for the “Fastest girl in town.”
    Now, the men swing back and forth between singing like pussies and being red pilled. Luckily, the last 6 months to a year has been pretty red pill. The downside is the men are starting to incorporate elements of rap, r&b and other urban music. Some people like it. For me it’s okay in some songs. But at least the lyrics don’t allow for taking much crap from women recently.
    Also, you can’t really have a list of great country artists without including Garth Brooks and all the Hank Williams. Garth is my favorite. It’s hard to find a Garth song that isn’t good.

  20. Country singers are masculine and quite red-pill. You can tell they hold traditional family values, and will raise their daughters to be wholesome and feminine.
    Especially Billy Ray Cyrus.

    1. Enjoy the music for what is. In the case of Miley I’d think that would have more to do with the unimaginable fame of her father and the evils of the Mickey Mouse Club.

      1. Oy vey – you goy need to still believe that good ole Walt was an anti Semite, not a Masonic handler in league with zionists!

    4. He listed old country, not the new effite silly pop country of today. Cyrus has no place in any pantheon of Country and never will.

      1. That was someone else, but look up “Looking for a Handout”

  23. Well I don’t like country music and I am not traditional, but Kris Kristofferson played a bad ass role as Whistler in Blade, and I want to see more characters like that. I haven’t seen a character that masculine in years.

  24. It’s funny to me that the leader of a white pride group is Arabic. You can’t make this shit up. Like hitler leading the blonde hair blue eye charge.
    I was down w the ROK movement till it became too white. Not that I fault you guys for that- separatism is natural and I’m down w that- but I just can’t get behind it as a non white person.

    1. I can’t imagine roosh getting down to country and White pride. He must be at his home in Poland or wherever and just laughing his ass off that he as an Arab is your leader.

      1. Well sure, but I was making the statement that Waylon was always by far – both musically and personally – the more masculine and red pill of the two.

        1. Ah gotcha yah…agreed, Hoss definitely has him there. Willie is a legend, but has quite a bit of hippie/free spirit in him.
          Waylon was always more my speed. Still listen to Waylon Live and Ramblin Man quite a bit.

  27. Glad to see some real country listed instead of the pop shit wafting out of Nashville these days.

  30. some of my personal faves – (no particular order)
    – Alison Krauss & Union Station – “The Boy Who Wouldnt Hoe Corn” – has a very good message that ROK readers can really identify with
    – Patsy Cline – “Walkin’ After Midnight” – got to love Patsy, great voice, and taken way to soon
    – Billy Byrd – “The Bee Byrd Bounce” – fantastic playing, tone, phrasing & structure and i play & love the Gibson Byrdland and Billy is the Byrd
    – Hank Garland – “Sugarfoot Rag” – Hank was a brilliant player and session musician and i play & love the Gibson Byrdland and Hank is the Land
    – Danny Gatton – “Sun Medley” – while technically not 100% country, Dannys version of Sam Phillips Sun Records “Mystery Train” “My Baby Left Me” & “Thats Alright Mama” is brilliant and his ‘chicken pickin’ on that Blackguard is pretty country to me.
    – Bobby Gentry – “Ode To Billie Joe” – from when females had real talent, not just sunglasses and high heel shoes salespeople like now.

  31. Most of Kenny Rogers is twink, although Coward of the County, The Gambler and a few others are decent. Merle Haggard, Confederate Railroad, Hank Williams Sr. and Jr. are good.

  32. I concur with all of the above, been listening to them as far back as I can remember. You left out my all-time favorite, Waylon Jennings. I believe he’d have made a fine addition to your collection here! Just a little sample.

    1. That really stood out to me as well. Also the absence of David Allen Coe, who personifies the *real* outlaw country life (dude murdered somebody, then wrote lyrics and hung with Johnny Cash and other legends).

      1. DAC was outlaw AF, no doubt.
        Merle Haggard should be included as well, though I’m not really a fan.

      2. Ol’ David has a place here too, for sure. I always liked “If That Ain’t Country”, my family didn’t live that song, but I knew those that did.

    2. As a massive Waylon fan, I cannot agree with this more.
      Basically anything Waylon has ever done is red pill.
      #1 Country artist of all time, IMO.

      1. He was definitely numbered amongst them. Did you know he always hated being called an outlaw though?

        1. Yep, he wasn’t really fond of the label. Have you read his autobiography? Great read. I just got the book his son Terry wrote about Waylon but haven’t started it yet. It’s funny that the author included Kenny Rogers’ Lucille….Waylon’s cover of it is soooo much better.

  35. First, while Kenny Rogers is good, Merle Haggard deserved to be here more than him (aside from the team up with Willie). Second, how can you leave out Amarillo by Morning by Strait? The opening fiddle and the way he sings it made the song a classic.

  37. Kris Kristofferson was absolutely a great song writer, but in terms of a singer….he left a bit to be desired, IMO.

  39. Any of the outlaw, rebel guys like Merle – should be included.
    The gambler by Kenny should of been in this list
