10 Country Songs That FLOPPED — Then Became the Biggest Hits of All Time
10 Country Songs That FLOPPED — Then Became the Biggest Hits of All Time Nashville's gatekeepers have been wrong about country music for seven decades. These are ten songs they shelved, rejected, dismissed, or tried to gut — that went on to become the most legendary recordings in the genre's history. From Capitol Records burying Tennessee Ernie Ford's Sixteen Tons, to every major Nashville label passing on Harper Valley PTA. From Columbia wanting to strip the mariachi horns off Ring of Fire, to Willie Nelson's label shrugging at On the Road Again. From the same song failing for Bobby Bare and Johnny Cash before Kenny Rogers proved the industry wrong a third time, to Patsy Cline recording Crazy with broken ribs on a studio stool while her producer almost shelved it. And at number one — the song George Jones himself called morbid to his producer's face. A song he said nobody would ever buy. It went on to be voted the greatest country song ever recorded. This is the hidden architecture of country music. The real story of how the greatest songs in this genre survived the people who were supposed to know better.
