We didn't put Catherine Britt's "Too Far Gone" on the list because it wasn't technically released in the Good Ol' USA, yet. Anything else that's missing was probably just plain forgotten like Merle Haggard and Houston Marchman. Trust us, when you spend 99% of your time listening to the classics, it's hard to make a list like this.
