Welcome to the old boys club JD, I certainly remember your titles plus a few more. Working in a record shop in the sixties I got to listen to all the old classic country recordings.
I cannot list them here not enough room.

I got Eddy's Song by Eddy Arnold, very "western swing", nice lap steel.

[RonMc]

It don't go back far enough for mine!

Wake up Little Suzie - Everly Bros was mine.
Great Song always one of my favourites.

[Shaun]

Never really thought of it as a Country song though (Wake up Little Suzie) - more Rock and Roll.

Yes Shaun, although listening to Whispering Bob Harris on Radio 2 last night (the "Ultimate Playlist") he was explaining how East Nashville hoted the emergence of an exciting amalgam of established country and up-and-coming rock 'n roll/R&B, especially under the influence of Gram Parsons, so even back in the late 50's and early 60's country music was at the cutting edge of new stuff.
