I always loved that song "IF WE MAKE IT THROUGH DECEMBER." And "WORKING MAN BLUES" is awesome, I play that often.
I can see why much of country would bore a player like you, Russ. Western swing should keep you busy. But the stark beauty of a three-chord song is wonderfully appealing to me. And jazz gives me a headache, too many chords! To each his own (as I strum a three-chord songs on my lovely Guild D40CSB which has been beside me for a few days now... picking with it lately)!
