Gee, that's a toughie...of the ones listed, I'd have to give the nod to Harlan Howard.

Why didn't you list Hank Williams Sr or Cindy Walker, though?

---

Now you know my answer is going to be Tommy Collins,but I will have to give a resounding second vote to the late Max D. Barnes. His list contains some of the greatest songs ever and I do mean ever written. You just can't beat the greatest.

---

Wow!! I' m going to have to say the "hag" because his songs were'nt just songs, they were telling his life story! That's one of the reasons he is the legend he is.

---

Harlan Howard, He's written songs for many an entertainer in the buisness. "I Fall To Pieces"..."Life Turned Her That Way"..."Above And Beyond"... "I've Got a Tiger By The Tail"... "Don't Tell Me What To Do"..."Somebody Should Leave"..."Somewhere Tonight"..."Too Many Rivers"... "Why Not Me"..."Busted" "Blame It on Your Heart"...and so many more.

---

I think ol' Harlan Howard might just take this one. He's put out some darn good stuff over the years.

---

Merle Haggard of course.
