The Top 5 Songs to Introduce Pat Green To a Yankee Right Now

He was king of Texas Music before there was a crown to wear. Pat Green blazed his own trail from Texas to Nashville and back again. Along the way he found a level of success that most artists just dream of.

There were legends before him, but no one did it quite like him. He hand-delivered the Texas Country / Texas Music genre to a new younger crowd and made it cool. Every band with a bus or van touring around Texas, owes him a "thank you" note, and a six-pack of Lone Star Beer for his cereal cause it's keeping him alive.

I don't treat albums as projects. Like, I'm not trying to make a statement about this or that. I appreciate that there are people or bands out there that want to do that. I write at a very slow pace. I'll write one song every three or four months. I'm an artist as well. I sculpt, paint and all those things, and I take those things very seriously, but very slow. - Pat Green

Just five songs? This was very tough list for us to whittle down. The man has a massive catalogue, songs that laid the foundation for so many young Texans in the late '90s and early '00s.

So keep in mind, while rage scrolling, that there being just five songs, it leaves no room for several all-time greats including: "Southbound 35," "Crazy," "Songs About Texas," and "Take Me Out to a Dance Hall."

Each of which were very hard to leave out.

Oh, also, you will not find any songs off his Songs We Wished We Written I, or II albums. But you will get five great songs, their greatness, of course, open to personal interpretation. This includes the best album cut ever, one that we too think was the best song he's ever written.
