Good list.
Another up beat country song of a sort. Steve Miller's "Dance, Dance, Dance."
Not sure if this one makes the list. Blue Sky Riding Song. by Michael Martin Murphey

Sorry I can’t answer your question but zac brown is pretty good. Country music is just so bad...all I hear is metal on metal screeching non stop. I ran away at the first opportunity the last job I had because of it. Sorry I was going to go into depth further but you get my point I’m sure. Country music is real real bad for someone like me.

As far as saving music I'm not so sure either. You should be able to create a playlist in your Windows Media Player but not sure how. Then you would just add songs to your list as you go.

spotify
I use Spotify. Put it on your smart phone, take your music with you wherever you go. Play it on any Bluetooth device, works great.
And I'm technologically challenged , but my son had an account and was able to use his account on my phone so cost me nothing. If you got kids ask them they probably are already using it, and maybe could do the same for you.

Maybe I don't understand your question regarding the play list, access in a car or something?, but you can simply create a playlist in youtube. It's the little +/Save button under the video. Need a Google account though.

If it's upbeat, it's not Country Music.

Pretty much every computer has Windows Media Player on it, that you can use to create playlists, play them etc. There are a ton of sites that allow you to download country music for free. Down load them to the Music Folder in your user profile then organize them into playlists. You can listen to them on the computer, load them to your phone etc.
This will give you a start on places to find music.

My family also uses Spotify, and we love it.

Copy and paste to a USB drive, if you have a usb port in the car ( Just select shuffle all and that's all), or copy and paste to your phones hardware (Plug it into the computer, it will ask for permission to allow to computer to access the phone files, select yes, then copy and paste the songs to the phone). Going old school is good to, Windows Media Player still offers a cd burn feature, not sure on Itunes, but may still be there.

Thank you kindly for the responses/recommendations. A lot of songs I forgot about and a few I didn’t know. Going to check out Spotify and up my YouTube game.
Thanks

Music - Two Part Question
I’ve only gotten into country recently. And not the old school stuff. I was raised on rock, found myself in metal and punk, then I discovered blues. But lately I’m enjoying some new country to relax.
Some I haven’t seen listed yet that are in my country playlist were
Dean Brody-Canadian girls, Dirt road scholar, It’s Friday, Monterey. All fun tunes.
Eric church- talladega, record year. Not quite as upbeat but I like his song writing.
