So when it comes to choosing the greatest country song ever, there's an overwhelming number of options to pick from. Luckily, Billboard managed to narrow it down to the 100 "best country songs of all time"...and, interestingly enough, the top 10 was packed with classics from decades gone by (sorry, "Chicken Fried").
Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1970), described by Billboard as a "three-minute encapsulation of finger-bleeding work, parental love, endless chores and indefatigable pride" took the #7 spot, while the iconic Wiliams took 6th place with his quintessential ballad, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (1949).
Coming in second was Patsy Cline with "Crazy" (1961), which — although it was written by Nelson — became her signature song and one of the most popular country tracks in history.
Years after the song's release, Parton opened up about her inspiration during an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, saying, “There was a girl that worked at the bank when my husband and I first got married. She got a big crush on him, and I think he kind of had a crush on her. I knew he was spending more time at the bank than we had money. So, I called him on it, and so I kind of took that little bit of that 'other woman' kind of thing.”
"I said, 'Well, you're the prettiest little thing I ever saw. So, what is your name?'" Parton continued. "And she said, 'Jolene.' And I said, 'Jolene. Jolene. Jolene. Jolene.' I said, 'That is pretty. That sounds like a song. I'm going to write a song about that.'"
