country music

There's a million.  I've been working on Travis Tritt's "It's a Great Day to Be Alive" lately.  It requires Travis Tritt's peculiar growlshout delivery to work, which has been the hardest part for me.  The guitar part is difficult to get down because the recordings I've heard and the videos I've seen on You-Tube have the guitar down very low and the voice carries the song.  Then I realized how fortunate I am in that no one else knows what the guitar part sounds like either (except I assume Mr. Tritt). 

If you want to go old school, it's tough to beat Johnny Cash's "Get Rhythm" for an upbeat country song.   More in the old school vein are Hank William's "Hey Good Lookin'" and ???'s "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time" (I can't believe the name is slipping my mind right now - awful - and I've had nary a sip tonight).  (It's Lefty Frizzel, I had to Google it.  My mind is slipping.)

Modern Country, "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" by Joe Nichols is upbeat and kind of fun.

Stars on the Water by George Strait

Johnny Cash by Jason Aldean

I love to pick out I Saw The Light, and its always a favorite with country fans... and should be easy enough I do it by ear but I'm pretty sure you can find music with no problem. Bobby Bare's Marie Leveaux (or however you spell that) has a real basic boogie guitar part thats not too hard to learn, and that ones lots of fun. One of my favorite songs to play is called Standin' On The Rock, its by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils but it has a very country/folkish sound. And of course anything by Johnny Cash is great to play, Walk the Line and Give My Love to Rose are both really just bouncing chord songs but you can add the bass part yourself if you like pick and fingers stuff and its alot of fun.
Hope that helps some!

Oh, Lonesome Me by Don Gibson.

Hi Grooovy ,
   One of my favorites is a Clint Black song called " Leavin Here a Better Man " ...
Some really fast chord changes that are fun ....
