One more from me for now. I don't think Akwilly likes this one (sorry) but this was one of the biggest hits of the late 1970s country rock era.I think this was the song that made me a big fan of country rock and then later traditional (real) country music.For those who don't remember this song, you may remember thinking it was called "Looking for Love (In all the Wrong Places)"From the Urban Cowboy soundtrack. "Looking for Love" by Johnny Lee
Stevie and then some nostalgia
Forgot another great (in my opinion, Akwilly) Canadian country song.Neil Young and the Shocking Pinks covering Neil Young's own song "Wonderin'"
Hmm...Young has had a number of songs that i suppose could be considered country but you pick a Doo Wop song. Curious.
First country rock song I ever heard at around the age of five, and a massive #1 pop hit. Glen Campbell "Rhinestone Cowboy" Also one of my favorite songs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kAU3B9Pi_U
The back up singers are singing Doo Wop but I think the rest of the song is country. Maybe I should have listened to it again.They're not a real band (I think they're professional wrestlers) but their philosophy is spot on. There's also "some people call it Hip Hop, but I call it Shit Hop."Curt Hennig and the West Texas Rednecks "Rap is Crap"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-riL5A4eiWQ
No, the song is doowop. Sure there are some country tinges but they are not predominant. The melody of Wonderin's is certainly not country but a form of early rock. I have the cd. The whole album is early rock and roll style.

Yes, wikipedia calls it rockabilly. Sorry, I like the song, but I shouldn't have posted it here.

I posted the Marty Robbins version of this earlier but, as great as it is, I think I have to give the winning edge to Connie Smith's version. Great vocal and some really great Travis picking throughout:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiuqnZ4kbEI
You're going old school. He was really the first country music superstar. He even made it into the talking pictures! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyHulWOZBpk
