80's country songs

Rosanne Cash
I came across theboot.com for country music playlists. I have seen their 80's country music playlist. I started in country radio in August 1981. I was in country radio all through the 80's. 

Here's the link to the playlist: 1980s Country Fans Playlist

I have particular songs on this to point out. If you are in country radio music programming, you might consider these selections.


  • Islands in the Stream - Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
  • Rosanne Cash - Seven Year Ache
  • All My Ex's Live in Texas - George Strait
  • Why Not Me - The Judds
  • Guitar Town - Steve Earle
  • Can't Even Get the Blues - Reba McEntire
  • I'm No Stranger to the Rain - Keith Whitley
  • Mountain Music - Alabama
There's two that are first number 1's on the Billboard Country Chart: Rosanne Cash and Reba McEntire.
