You know how sometimes you just start thinking about random things. You do that don't you? It's not just me? Right? So tonight I was listening to an old tape copy of Randy Travis' Storm's of Life, which I think it's neat to note was Rainey's back before we got together, after 22 years of togetherness there's not much left that once belonged to only one of us. So anyway, I got to thinking that while there are a couple not so great songs on the tape for the most part this was a great country album. I don't know if it was Randy's first but it was definitely his break out album. It's got Digging Up Bones, On the Other Hand, 1982, Reasons I Cheat and of course Storms of Life, all of which are great songs. So this put me to thinking of my favorite albums, not counting greatest hits and so here is the culmination of my pick of the 3 greatest country albums (please note I reserve the right to change my mind in the future).
Top 3 county albums- Willie Nelson's On the Road Again, Randy Travis' The Storms of Life and George Strait's Pure Country soundtrack.
There's a lot of artists that I have a number of their cd's- Tim Mcgraw, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Gary Allan, Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington but I couldn't think of one particular cd I could just think of songs. One glaring omission here is of course Cash's Folsom Prison Blues but as much as I love that album there are a lot of not so great songs on there and number of great songs is what I used as my criteria in this case.

I definitely agree with the last two picks. I'm not a huge Willy fan; so, I'm not so sure on that one. I need to think about this and come up with my Top 3!
