I don't really know many country songs so I will use Folk which is the UK version of Country! - and to be honest I don't know much about that!
Folk
The Village Green Preservation Society
Fog on the Tyne
Beeswing
The Sick-Bed of Cú Chulainn
Kitty Jay
Blues
Born Under a Bad Sign
Ain't Goin' Down That Dirt Road
Boom Boom
(Boom, boom) Out Go The Lights
I Can't Quit You Babe
Rock
Alright Now
Pinball Wizard
Whole Lotta Love
Superstitious
Satisfaction

May I be a wee bit contentious and politely suggest that no one should have to listen to, let alone play any country/folk songs unless it is for the purpose of getting out of a gig alive (as in the Blues Brothers movie). Just a suggestion.    Blues: Need your Love so bad Black Magic Woman (Fleetwood Mac version) Smokestack Lightin' Hoochie Coochie Man And seeing as HJ already chose Born Under Bad Sign, I'll go for Stormy Monday Blues Rock Rock me Baby - the Robin Trower version Because the Night Honky Tonk Woman Johnny B Goode Since you been Gone |

Do you realize how many our country loving friends across the water you have just upset?
I have to agree though ;D

Thought about this for a while. You don't have to play them like the original, and some are played to death!  And trying to stay away from what's already been said. Country / Folk (yeah I don't know many of these) Ghost Riders in the Sky Sweet Baby James Fire and Rain The Thunder Rolls Midnight Rider (don't actually know this one, but I should) Rock Cocaine Rocky Mountain Way Sultans of Swing Roadhouse Blues No Particular Place to go Blues Bright Lights, Big City Further on up the Road Crossroads Before you Accuse me Everyday I have the Blues Not eclectic at all  |
