Song year: 1977 Jerry Reed had a string of hits in his career, but none were bigger than the song that capped off the soundtrack to Smokey and the Bandit. The movie tells the tale of outlaw Bandit helping his trucker buddy, Snowman—who is also played by Reed—deliver cases of illegal alcohol from Texas to Georgia in 28 hours. The movie was a massive...
Song year: 1975 Written as a novelty song to protest government regulations on tractor-trailer drivers, C.W. McCall’s “Convoy” also managed to strike a nerve with the CB radio crowd. Tell me if you have ever heard of a song spawning a 1978 movie about trucking directed by Sam Peckinpah. Sometimes a hit spawns a hit in another media avenue. “Convoy”...
Song year: 1978 If country music gave us anything, it is artists who used the medium to tell a story. Kenny Rogers’ hit “The Gambler” did just that. Painting the picture of a pair of men on a train bound to nowhere, “The Gambler” tells us about an older man’s attempt to give a young man advice on living life and playing a solid game of poker. “Neve...
Song year: 1979 If there was ever a song to help spawn a renaissance for a specific musical instrument, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” did that for the fiddle. Made famous by the Charlie Daniels Band, this song’s devilish use of the fiddle almost turns the instrument into a character of its own. Still, the song was a massive country hit and prove...
Song year: 1974 Before Whitney Houston took this song and made it her own, Dolly Parton wrote and released it. In the years since, Parton has said the song was written for her former boss, Porter Wagoner, to prove to him that she could make it as a solo artist. The gambit worked, and Wagoner gave Parton his blessing to go out on her own. This song ...
Song year: 1974 Speaking of that other hit, Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” is an artist-defining song for Tennessee’s favorite daughter. Parton was worried that her husband was running out on her with a bank teller. The teller’s name was not even Jolene! Jolene was the name of a young fan that Parton said she immediately realized was going to work as the ...
Song year: 1975 John Denver may be one of music’s greatest crossover artists. Spawning hits in the folk music category, Denver scored a big hit with “Thank God I’m a Country Boy.” Singing the charms of easy country life on the farm, Denver somehow manages to sing a charming little ditty thanks to the writings of one of his backup bandmates. The son...
Song year: 1971 Some of country music’s greatest songs ever written are autobiographical. Perhaps one of the best in this genre is Loretta Lynn’s “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” The song is written in tribute to Lynn’s upbringing in Butcher Hollow, KY, and helped launch her career. Nine years later, Lynn’s career and life got the biographical treatment on...
Song year: 1978 A tribute to the working man, Johnny Paycheck’s “Take This Job and Shove It” is a song written for anyone who hates their job. It’s about a man who works in a factory. However, after losing his girlfriend, the only reason he had to work, he tells his boss to “shove it.” It might have been Paycheck’s lone hit, but the classic still r...
Song year: 1970 No one had better hair in the 1970s than Conway Twitty. Forget the hair for a second, though, and realize that the man could sing a country ballad. His hit “Hello Darlin'” is an epic ode to a man that knows the woman of his dreams has already come and gone. There is no way Twitty was crying every night when those checks arrived afte...
