 Country Standard Time: Heartaches By the Number: Country Music's 500 Greatest Singles
True, 6 of the book's 10 heaviest hitters were top 5 hits (and 3, in fact, crossed over to the pop charts), but a significant number of entries either date from country's pre-chart years or were influential far beyond their sales figures.
But a particularly interesting aspect of "Heartache" is the delight the authors seem to take in genre bending.
These are particularly helpful in terms of helping readers to perhaps view any number of songs that have long been taken for granted in a new light.

At first glance, Heartaches by the Number: Country Music's 500 Greatest Singles might seem as if it's luring readers into a similar trap.
Friskics-Warren and Cantwell go on to debunk the myth of country as a change-repellent art form, to explore the sexual ramifications of a single altered pronoun, and to use subtle vocal variations to chart a complex character study.
Heartaches documents such cycles, proving that long before the '70s outlaw movement, there were other rebels, and other weak trends against which to rebel.

 Washingtonpost.com: Live Online
In their new book, "Heartaches by the Number: Country Music's 500 Greatest Singles" (Vanderbilt University Press), music critics David Cantwell and Bill Friskics-Warren set out not only to establish the pecking order of country music's great songs, but also to tell about the society and times in which these songs were written.
In that sense, Heartaches by the Number isn't just a book about country music, but a socio-cultural history of life in the Southern United States during the last three-quarters of the 20th century.
One thing we hoped to do in Heartaches was to show that the migration of southerners and their music from the south to the north and to the west--and from the country to the city--has been going on all along.

 The Austin Chronicle Music: Sheet Music
That's where the number 500 comes in handy, offering a much-broader base of songs for the canon.
As contentious as a list like this might be, the authors do a great job of discussing each song (though it often feels more like deconstruction than discussion) and justifying its place on the list.
Even if you disagree with the rankings and conclusions, the authors' passion and love for the music shines through (the name, of course, being cribbed from the Harlan Howard-penned hit for Ray Price), and this is a provocative read for any country and roots music devotee.

 The Parrot and Blue Lake Labels
The number was advertised as "Bartenders Ball," the label of Parrot 781 gives the title as "Bartender Blues." The remaining two sides from this session (which was not among those dealt to Chess in 1958-1959) have never seen the light of day.
And their matrix numbers are early in the 53100 series, sandwiched between a batch of sessions from August 10 and another bach of sessions from September.
The tape box number for a December 31, 1953 session would be around 2250.) We think that after Joe Williams titles from December 31, 1953 were removed, the instrumentals by the Red Saunders band from that date were tossed into the same box as the Ann Carter tracks recorded later.

Among the choices in "Heartaches by the Number" are such "country" platters as "Cold Cold Heart" by Tony Bennett, "Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen, "Last Train to Clarksville" by the Monkees and "Honky Tonk Woman" by the Rolling Stones.
The authors make the case in their introduction that country music has always been interwoven with pop music and that cultural cross-pollination is essential if the music is to continue to thrive and evolve.
Part of the appeal of books like "Heartaches by the Number" is their ability to spark debate.

Still, paging through "Heartaches by the Number: Country Music's 500 Greatest Singles," it's heartening to realize how many hot-button topics country has touched on over the years.
In "Heartaches by the Number," veteran music journalists David Cantwell and Bill Friskics-Warren weave an intriguing tale of country music.
Cantwell and Friskics-Warren chose for their No. 1 pick Sammi Smith's recording of Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night." Their choice is a pointed one, because the recording broke into the pop realm, broadening country music's base at a crucial time.

Specific records were chosen, the authors say, "as exemplars of the sensibility, musical aesthetic, and emotional range" intrinsic to genuine (by their lights) country music.
Part encyclopedia, part history, part collection of record reviews, yet not quite any of these things, Heartaches by the Number is instead an argument for a sensibility, a way of hearing.
This helps to explain the hefty numbers of selections from this period, starting with their number one ranked single Sammi Smith's rendition of "Help Me Make It Through The Night": a 1971 country hit that also crossed over to the pop top 10.

In 1956, Marty Robbins was tearing up the country charts with "Singin' the Blues," on Columbia, and Miller chose Guy Mitchell to cut a pop-style cover of the song.
Robbins' song was a huge hit as was, and might've been even bigger -- in those days, songs were regularly crossing over between the charts -- but Mitchell's version supplanted it on pop music stations, and on the charts, where it spent nine weeks at number one and sold well over a million copies.
Late in 1959, Mitchell scored one last number one hit with "Heartaches by the Number." By that time, he was running into competition from a brand of teen-pop music more similar to his own music than to the rock & roll that it supplanted.

Price himself soon followed with Howard’s “Heartaches by the Number,” likewise a #2 hit.
When Guy Mitchell covered “Heartaches” for the pop market and took it to #1, Howard felt confident enough to pull up stakes and move to Nashville.
In Nashville, Howard initially wrote for Pamper Music, which was partly owned by Ray Price, and which was also the songwriting home of Willie Nelson and Hank Cochran.

Harlan Howard, who wrote more than 100 country music hits, had a dream to write an autobiography using those song titles to tell the story of his life.
And what a book it would have been: "Heartaches by the Number" (popularized by Ray Price), "Busted" (Ray Charles), "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" (Buck Owens) and the Patsy Cline classic "I Fall to Pieces."
Howard told me. "I wrote 'Heartaches by the Number' and [the 1958 Charlie Walker hit] 'Pick Me Up on Your Way Down' out of boredom."
