The Excellent 80's Goes Country

Even though this is not a country music video blog (mainly because country music videos didn't catch on until later), occasionally I'll hear a country song from the 80's that I liked, so here are a couple that I remember being huge hits...

First up, Alabama with "Mountain Music"...
