There are so many really good writers……but, Merle Haggard is certainly near the top of the list! memtb

Like many my list of "Favorite Songwriter(s)" plural would be as long as my arm, including many listed above. Were I stranded on a desert island with only one writer's catalog of recorded works to listen to for the rest of my days, it would be Bob McDill, in a walk.

Mark Knophler - You likely know him from Dire Straights but he's done lot of writing for others as well as some movie soundtracks.
One I love with Emmy Lou Harris about an old soldier who's marched with Napoleon and is ready to go home.
