30 mood-lifting country songs to suit country fans’ tastes

If there’s one thing we love about music, it’s that it speaks to our soul. Music can give us the words we’re looking for, it can soothe our aching hearts, and it can stir up a lot of emotions.

And country music is no exception.

That’s why we asked our country fans on social media to choose a song that always puts them in a good mood. These songs are guaranteed to make them smile and fill them with good, positive feelings, no matter how down they’re feeling.

As expected, Taste of Country readers selected several heart-pounding and heart-warming anthems. Some of these stadium anthems include “Beer Never Broke My Heart” by Luke Combs and “My Kinda Party” by Jason Aldean.

Other mood-lifting tracks that were chosen were drinking songs. Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett’s “It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere” and Eric Church’s “Drink in My Hand” certainly fall into this category.

However, we’ve learned that not all of the positive songs are hard-hitting, boozy songs. In fact, some are more sentimental, moody songs like Reba McEntire’s “I’m a Survivor” and John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

Our readers’ selection was very diverse, leaving no era of country music out and reaching into the archives to find some valuable offerings spanning several decades.

This list is guaranteed to put you in a good mood, so be sure to bookmark this page the next time you need a cheery tune to get you through the day. Scroll down to see the most uplifting songs in country music:
