blog post 50 Great Country Love Songs

Love is a popular theme with country music songwriters. Sometimes the songs are about good times – the excitement of a love just starting or the security of a lasting relationship. Allison Krauss’ When you say nothing at all is a ballad about love so strong it needs no words. Kenny Rogers’ She believes in me is about the strength a relationship can provide.

Some songs mark the ups and downs, like Kathy Mattea’s Where’ve you been. Other songs deal with the tough times and the aftermath of breakups. Willie Nelson’s Always on my mind and George Jones’ He stopped loving her today are songs reflecting back on a love that has ended.

The best country love songs offer a bit of both the good and bad times – just like life does. But whether old, new or unrequited – love songs are abundant in country music. Here are 50 examples of some of country music’s great love songs:.
