The Best Country Songs With Names In

This playlist is about to prove one of the most fool-proof theories around: songs that contain a person’s name in their title are always bangers.

There’s just something about them. Whether it's because in the art of dedication there lies a magic that makes each track that little bit more addictive, or because we’re able to connect to it on a deeper level knowing the subject’s name, there remains an undeniable draw toward these songs.

This phenomenon is not just applicable to country music either - it seems this inexplicable theory does not discriminate between genres. ‘Valerie’, ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘Hey, Jude’, ‘Lola’ - need I say more?

But for now, we are of course keeping within the comforting lines of country music, with a playlist that hosts artists big and small all asking themselves the same question – what is in a name? – in Holler’s playlist of the Best Country Songs With Names In.
