      A good song but nowhere near the top10. Not ever close. Johnny Cash had a top 10 list and every one was better than anything Don Williams ever did.

    First time I visited Amarillo I had been driving 20 hours through the night on a long trip headed to San Antonio I was coming from Bozeman Montana and was making good time I planned on stopping in Amarillo to rest I was very tired as I was coming into sight of Amarillo a golden sun had began to rise on the vast horizon of the Texas plains I switched radio stations looking for something more Upbeat
    Amarillo by morning began to play on the radio it was one of those pleasant moments in life one of the ones you don’t forget I remember that moment every time i hear that song

Don't Close Your Eyes by Keith Whitlley, I Let Her Lie by Darrell Singletary, or maybe Remember When Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt's Anymore. Blues Eyes Crying In The Rain and Hello Walls by Faron Young.

    I've never been in the US, but I fell in love with country music when I spent some months living with my sister who was married to an american military in Germany and she introduced me to a friend by the name of John Lynch from Colorado who used to wear cowboy hat and boots. He bought me a couple of cassettes at the army commissary and took me to a place where there were pretty german girls dancing country music and told one of them to teach me how to dance, and God! I've totally got stuck to country music forever, and I'm panamanian and I can tell you, lots of people in Latin America love country music. Greetings from Panama.

    When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
    He was dressed like 1950
    Half drunk and hollow eyed
    He said it's a long walk to Nashville
    Would you like a ride? Son
    Well, I sat down in the front seat
    He turned on the radio
    And them sad old songs coming outta them speakers was solid country gold
    Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale
    When I asked him for a light
    And I knew there was something strange about this ride
    He said, "Mister, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
    Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues?
    Can you bend them guitar strings?"
    He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?

      It's called being objective and it boils down to the criteria. Recall we went with Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven in Top 10 Iconic Rock Songs , yet didn't choose that as Led Zep's top song in Top 10 Led Zeppelin Songs . So, we think it works as is for similar reasons. If we're talking what the best Johnny Cash songs are, things that really say who and what Cash is then Walk the Line would have to be the top spot. It's the one that really gave him the career and the sound. If we're talking best country then we Think Ring of Fire does top it. It's more innovative, lively and a bit more modern. We think Walk the Line instantly goes to a certain artist and era, Ring of Fire is more in tune to the shape of the genre.

      I understand that there is a difference in theory, but in reality there is very little that can be differentiated between the two and most people won't get that you are making a distinction between a "top ten song" and a top ten iconic song". Its all the same in the minds of your average youtube viewer. Anyhow, I love your top ten lists so keep em coming. And while I have your attention, let me suggests a video.

      +Brian Williams - there is a lot of truth to that statement, but I think that depends on the artist... Johnny Cash was the youngest person ever to be inducted into the country music hall of fame, and the ONLY person ever living or dead to be inducted into all three hall of fame's "songwriters, rock n' roll, and country music- and all of that happened while he was still ALIVE also. George Jones was given just about every award on Earth all while he was still living... Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson have been awarded a slew of achievement awards in the last few decades and both are still breathing to this day...
      Some people think old Hank Jr. doesn't get the recognition he deserves because he is more of a non-conformist... an outlaw... but all of those people that I just mentioned were all non-conformist outlaw types. If you told any one of those people how to perform their music or what songs they should sing, they would have shown you how to fit a foot up your ass then do what they wanted to do anyhow! I think Hank Jr. deserves more than he get's... but like you said- they will probably only take notice when he is unfortunately not around anymore. Seems like in this fast paced world people never really notice what they have until its GONE.
