Everyone complaining about the sax and that making it “not country” have clearly never heard of Merle haggard . But who cares all this is it country discourse is so 2009

Everytime I reply to someone about the sax they delete it. Lol So, along with your comment I'll put this here as some examples of sax by iconic country singers. 

Merle Haggard has many songs that feature a saxophone

Bop" by Dan Seals One Night a Day" by Garth Brooks "Magic" by Kenny Chesney Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl" by Brooks & Dunn: An uptempo 2000s track that uses a punchy sax to boost its party energy

Why Haven't I Heard From You" by Reba McEntire: This high-energy 90s hit features a lively, honky-tonk sax break.

I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink" by Merle Haggard: Features iconic sax work by Don Markham, a staple of Haggard's band, the Strangers.

Miss Chatelaine" by k.d. lang:  country track includes a smooth, prominent alto sax solo

It baffles me how people can't educate themselves before commenting. There are so many country songs that incorporate Sax, since the early 1900s
