Tenesee Ernie Ford, 16 tons Johnny Cash had one early song that I can not remember the name or most of the music and words now, I heard in 1956 or so. It was about a coal miner who was trap under ground and held up the roof while the pother miners escape. I really like that one also
That wasn't Johnny Cash. It was Jimmy Dean, the sausage guy. The song is "Big Bad John."

For some modern but not crappy pop country style music look up Tyler Childers, Sturgil Simpson(voice sounds like Waylong Jennings to me), The Steel Drivers etc.

mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys was written by a legendary guy too IMO; Ed Bruce. Super smooooth voice. Also sang "My First Taste of Texas" Good song. And The Last Cowboy Song
I remember watching a made for TV concert CMT put together to play the top 10 songs on the list--it was awesome. Ray Charles played a live cover of Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors" (less than a year before his death) that gave you goosebumps.
Dwight Yoakum is the only standout in the "new" country music. The rest of it rots your brain and routinely rips off Top 40 and Rock songs. They add some twang and some Simpleton will buy it.
