Mystery Song #96


MJDGTASHRC


Clue #6

Our artist is NOT on your (Steve's) list!

Not: George Strait, George Jones, Johnny Cash, Tim McGraw. Hank Snow, Charlie Daniels, Jason Aldean, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Chris Stapleton, or Merle Haggard

Clue #5

Speaking of crossing over, one of the songwriters is related to a country artist who did so 8 times in a career spanning over 40 years. At least according to Wikipedia, LOL.

CLUE #4

The song was quite controversial.

CLUES #2 & 3

The artist was a man.

The song was a massive hit on the country charts, and made it up to #25 on Billboard's Hot 100.

CLUE #1

This song was the only song by this artist to reach the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100--a minor crossover hit BUT a major hit on the (genre) chart from which it originated.
