Drawing inspiration from Maddy Underwood’s Country Classics zine, the Country Classics playlist is an invitation to don your best and giddy up for a four-hour foray through the best the genre has to offer, highlighting artists featured in her freshly minted publication like Linda Rodstad, Buck Owens, Patsy Montana, and so many more. Between the truck-driving daughters and rhinestone cowboys, generations of honky tonkers, fingerpickin’ folkies, and bayou balladeers come together in one mix designed to mimic the experience of scanning through country western radio on a twentieth-century Route 66 road trip. Shuffle up and let the Country Classics playlist be your riding companion as you transform your daily commute into a cross-country odyssey.

As you flip through the Country Classics playlist, you’ll hear the roots of country music and how it evolved over the course of the century. You’ll hear the twang of the steel guitar, the mournful sound of the fiddle, and the storytelling lyrics that have defined the genre for decades. Die-hard country fans and Western wannabes looking to explore the genre will all get a little something from the mix.

. . . So what’re ya waitin’ for? “Dropkick me Jesus,” and “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” your way on down the road. 🤠
