A good many of you know my thoughts about country music dying in 1962, but there are a few songs from the 1970's that bear a listen... a short list is below.
Anything Johnny Cash recorded... even that song he did for "The Dukes Of Hazzard"
Faron Young: "Leavin' And Sayin' Goodbye"
Johnny Paycheck: "Take This Job And Shove It" and "Pardon Me, I've Got Someone To Kill"
Anything Charlie Rich recorded.
Willie & Waylon's "Outlaw" recordings.
Waylon Jenning's solo recordings.
There are many others... this is by no means an all-inclusive list.

While I agree that Johnny Cash's stuff is great, it was Waylon who did the Dukes theme song (and he was the one playing guitar in the lead in to the show).
actually johnny did do a song for the dukes..."The General Lee" it wasnt the theme song. you are right, waylon did the theme and narration of the show, but johnny did write that song for the duke boys.
people say me and my cousin remind em of the duke boys
Cash did both of them. He did a cover of the theme song as well as the General Lee.
I would have to say Country Roads by John Denver. Although I have no desire to visit West Virginia, it still gives me chills thinking about being out in the country instead of the God-forsaken city.
