If there’s one thing we love about music, it’s that it speaks to our soul. Music can offer us the words we’re struggling to find, it can soothe our aching hearts, and it can rile up a crowd. And country music is no exception. So we asked our country music fans on social media to choose a song that always puts them in a good mood. These songs are guaranteed to make them smile and fill them with good positive feelings, no matter how blue they may feel.
As expected, Taste of Country readers selected several heart-pounding, foot-stomping anthems. Some of these stadium anthems are Luke Combs’ “Beer Never Broke My Heart” and Jason Aldean’s “My Kinda Party.” Other mood-boosting tracks that were chosen were drinking songs. Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett’s “It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere” and Eric Church’s “Drink in My Hand” certainly fall into that category.
However, we learned that not all positive tracks are heavy-hitting, boozy songs. In fact, some are more sentimental, feel-good tunes like Reba McEntire’s “I’m a Survivor” and John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Our readers’ choices were very diverse. They did not leave out any era of country music, reaching back into the archives to find some golden offerings spanning several decades.
This list is guaranteed to put you in a good mood. So, make sure you bookmark this page for the next time you need some good vibes to get you through the day, and scroll through below to see the most mood-boosting songs in country music:
