Darius Rucker surprised everyone years ago he stated he was going country and I am glad he did. His music over the years is loved, and overall has been great. When he released this Bob Dylan written song from 1973, it was an instant hit. This is one of the more fun songs of this newer century and he was the perfect artist for it. The catchy, bouncy beat and slick video with easy to remember words are the signature of any hit song. This is one of those songs that could be a blueprint for others to follow. It makes you happy and sometimes I think we need a whole lot more of that in country. Understanding that not all songs can be this way, it is interesting to note as I put this top 50 list together there are all kinds of songs, but there are a lot that make you smile and happy. Darius Rucker is a supreme vocalist, who sounds great singing just about any kind of song. As a singer, he is among our best, if not the best, he's a total pro. Just a flat out GREAT song.

For the past few years I've been writing my Country Music Memory Lane Series and my Mega Star Series. They post here on Thursdays and will continue to do so.
Over the past 42 years I've played Country Music continuously on the radio. I am NOT saying these are the BEST songs, just the ones I enjoy the most.
