Few things scream “country living” or “redneck recreation” as loudly as a day at your favorite fishing hole.
That’s why there’s no shortage of Americana, folk and country songs about fishing by artists ranging from Tennessee Ernie Ford (“Catfish Boogie”) and Woody Guthrie (“Talking Fishing Blues”) to Robert Earl Keen (“The Five Pound Bass”) and John Prine (“Fish and Whistle”).
Our fishing playlist relies more on modern country music’s biggest stars, including Luke Bryan, Little Big Town and Brad Paisley. That disqualifies such pop culture standards as the Andy Griffith Show theme song (“The Fishin’ Hole”) and Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby duet “Gone Fishin’.”
