- "The Road Goes On Forever (And The Party Never Ends)" - Robert Earl Keen. If there is a more seminal song in Texas Country than this, I'll kiss your ass.
- "Down the Road Tonight" - Hayes Carll. This gritty juke-joint anthem put Hayes Carll on the map in 2005. With seeming non-sequiturs lined up one after another, a story unfolds.
- "Hometown" - Charlie Robison. The most iconic song from one of the true icons of the Texas Country/Red Dirt scene is as wistful as it is edgy. Charlie's brother Bruce wrote the song, but knew Charlie's voice belonged on classic lines such as "Well, we worked 80 hours making time and a half, but LaGrange was too damn hot.
- "Carry On" - Pat Green. This is the track that made Pat Green a household name in Texas, and for good reason. Even the most misanthropic among us can appreciate its dust-yourself-off message, and it's great for listening to while drinking copious amounts of beer.

Born Douglas Jackson Brooks, his ascent from the Atlanta suburbs to Nashville stardom involved more than "I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)" and other obvious picks. The singer started performing at an extremely young age, even opening for Loretta Lynn when he was just 7 years old. He changed his name to avoid any confusion with Garth Brooksand was...
Stone added to '90s country's Christmas playlist with this celebration of soldiers who won't be home for the holidays. It's off his 1992 album The First Christmas.
A Harlan Howard original first recorded by the Forester Sisters, Stone lent his voice to a gentle, reminiscent country song that's more in the George Jonesmold.
This album cut from In a Different Light is a solid example of Stone's gift for telling vivid stories about regular folks' daily routines. It's also a solid studio creation, with well-placed fiddle accompaniment and a sweet guitar mini-solo.
This old-fashioned honky tonk song rocks every bit as hard as Keith Whitley's "Hard Livin'" and other classics that allowed country singers to let loose musically and creatively.
This is another one of those Music Row meets Texasdancehalls types of upbeat hits, co-written by Kim Williams. It celebrates sad, old country songs, as those are what Stone wants labeled as harmful to your health and hard on your heart. Read More: Shenandoah's Zac Brown Band Collaboration Teases Duets Album
Lyrically, this one is a bummer, with the narrator counting down the minutes since his lover departed. Musically, it's a Georgia boy tipping his cap to upbeat, fiddle-driven Texascountry. It's by the legendary songwriter A.L. "Doodle" Owens.
Here's another George Jones-esque story-song from Stone's back catalog. The lyrics tell of a musician shaken by his local spot getting rid of its swinging doors and a jukebox filled with country classics. Think of it as dive bar gentrification.
Now this is a country ballad! Stone sums up appreciating the little things that teach us all about love, loss and life with one of his greatest songs. Its music video aged better than most and helps drive Stone's story home.
Famed songwriting duo Dickey Lee and Bob McDill had a hand in what's still one of the most gorgeous ballads of the past 25 years. It's about lust, not love, but it's still from the heart. Also, the 1991 single became Stone's first song to top the BillboardHot Country Songs chart.
