While an artist’s most popular songs are often some of their best, there are always great songs from earlier in their careers that unfortunately get overlooked and are not as well known.
We’re talking about deep cuts.
Deep cuts are the hidden gems in an artist’s catalog that many casual fans of their music miss out on.
If you’re a die hard country music can, one who digs deep into every artist’s catalog, you’ll know these well.
For those of you that don’t like to take the time to dive into the older and lesser-known music from some of their favorite artists, or may not even know some of these non-mainstream artists, here are 30 of my favorite deep cuts from some of my favorite artists.
Hopefully, you’ll find some older music in here that’s new to you.
