@edgarblythe,

This one may not be country, but it's a ballad worth litening to:
MTA by the Kingston Trio.

@neko nomad,

GRUMP ALERT!
That one's not country enough.
The Kingston Trio have as much to do with Country music as Miley Cyrus has to do with Classical music. Very Happy

But Ernest Tubb and Red Foley had a number 1 Country hit with a folk staple from Leadbelly and the Weavers: Goodnight Irene.

Hey, guys, I like all of those songs. I had pretty much forgotten Ferlin Husky as Simon Crumb.

I wonder how many others here know about this one-

A Webb Pierce hit during
the early fifties:

I know Webb's songs very well, neko. He was my brother's favorite singer.

I know Doris Day isn't a c&w vocalist, but this song of hers
has a western setting.

Deadwood Stage- early fifties. The pic is only alluded to in the song.

Goes way back, hm?
