All Mickey Newbury songs are number one...Mickey's artistry is of such great caliber and impossible to rank...The best Mickey song would be the one that you pick on the day that you come to hear his music..for me that is every day and I favor a different tune each day...... Mickey is a Legend, His music a Treasure.....
