I'm sort of meh about country but there are certain songs that I just can't help liking.

This is a favourite, written by the BeeGees. RIP Kenny

They showed an interview with Kenny talking about this song. He hated it he said, when recording it alone. Then the producer said Dolly Parton was in the studio next door and how about a duet?

Dolly apparently was up for it, they recorded it together and Kenny said it then became one of his all time favourite songs

Quite a few country songs are great to listen to. Shania Twain, Tammy Wynette, Dolly all of which I have downloaded and sometimes binge listen.
