I have a playlist of any song I come across new, or re-listen after many years, that has the “spark Joy” feel to it.
Just anything that feels great to me. Makes me dance, or feel positive, or brings back good memories. What are YOUR favorite country songs? And Especially spark joy. So, maybe not the sad heavy songs. But, maybe include those too if they draw something out of you, like a positive determination. [*I have this spark joy playlist, but I want a separate Country one, because I love it all and don’t want to mix it in with pop, rock. Same if I had a classical faves list. I’m in a different mood listening to country vs. other music. I have a couple country on my playlist, and they work, but I don’t want to do too much.] |

List any and all favorites to inspire me.
If they’re sad and heavy, you can still list them. I mean, it’s just fun to talk about. I can take or leave any suggestions for my actual Playlist |

Spark joy? Are you the Marie Kondo of country?

Drunk by Miranda Lambert
She also has another song about basically being a hot mess (I think there’s a line about mascara running) which is great. Something about her mother not approving. Too lazy to Google. |

This is on my playlist - “Mama’s Broken Heart.” Fantastic song. Other country songs I love, as an Xer who grew up here and didn’t get a lot of exposure to it until college in the middle of nowhere when it was one of the only radio stations we had: nearly all of the Dixie Chicks catalog ditto Mary Chapin Carpenter 455 Rocket, Kathy Mattea No One Needs to Know, Shania Twain I’m Alright, Jody Messina Except for Monday, Lorrie Morgan Runaway Train, Roseanne Cash Born to Fly, Sara Evans Believe Me Baby, Trisha Yearwood You Don’t Even Know Who I Am, Patty Loveless And I don’t love Taylor Swift generally but “Mean” is perfect. |
