Favorite Country bass lines?

Two that I like are "With a Broken Wing" by Martina McBride, especially on the last chorus where the low B string is utilized in counterpoint with her vocal line, and X's and O's by Trisha Yearwood. It's just cool!

Big and rich big time. My maria was a fun bass part. Blue side of town patti loveless. Liza jane was fun too.
You know, a bass line doesnt have to be blazing to be fun. You are towing the line in country with that bass. Nice fat smooth half notes with a little compression for that zero decay effect.
Love David Allen Coe -you never even called me by my name.
