The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia - most recently by Reba McEntire (but originally by Vicki Lawrence) which has been my favorite song since I was like 6 or 7 Ode To Billy Joe - Bobbie Gentry Billy Don't Be A Hero - Paper Lace One Week (sorta) - Barenaked Ladies The Night I Called The Old Man Out - Garth Brooks The Night Will Only Know - Garth Brooks The Beaches of Chyenne - Garth Brooks The Thunder Rolls - Garth Brooks (I just love Garth :-D) Spirit Boy - Kane (The band that Christian Kane started) The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band Uneasy Rider - Charlie Daniels Band Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves - Cher Hotel California - Eagles All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You - Heart Highwayman - The Highwaymen - Waylon, Willie, Johnny, and Kris (several little ballads actually) The Bonny Swans - Loreena McKennitt
And I got tired of thinking of them at that point LOL
And there's a lot of really good Filk (Fan Based Folk) out there and most of it tells a story. The Divine Intervention CD by Julia Ecklar is FANTASTIC! Terminus Est will just blow you away. Other good ones are Tom Smith (although he tends to be somewhat Weird Al like) and Cynthia McQuillin
