Western Music Father’s Day Song Rankings [2026] (61–70)
OutfitDrive-By Truckers61rank/position
A song written by Jason Isbell, guitarist for the alternative Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers based in Athens, Georgia.
It is included on the 2003 album Decoration Day.
The song was inspired by advice he received from his father.
Those Boots (Deddy’s Song)Lainey Wilson62rank/position
Singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson, who champions her unique “Bell Bottom Country” style and drew attention for her role in the hit drama Yellowstone, delivers a heartwarming number on this track from her October 2022 album Bell Bottom Country.
Using the boots her father loved as a motif, it carefully portrays everyday memories with her family and her deep affection for her dad.
She has said the song took on new meaning when her own father fell seriously ill, underscoring how important it is in her life.
It carries a gentle warmth that expresses the gratitude we’re often too shy to say out loud—perfect for Father’s Day, or for a quiet night spent thinking of the family you cherish.
Papa Come Quick (Jody & Chico)Bonnie Raitt63rank/position
“Papa Come Quick” is a song that dads everywhere are bound to love.
It’s sung by Bonnie Raitt, who is also a blues guitarist.
Her guitar skills and cool, powerful voice have captivated many listeners.
The track is included on her 1991 album, Luck of the Draw.
UnforgettableNat King Cole and Natalie Cole64rank/position
This is “Unforgettable,” a signature song by the American jazz pianist and singer Nat King Cole.
His own daughter, Natalie Cole, realized a dream collaboration with him on this track using modern technology.
Having his daughter sing his song on a grand stage must have been the greatest act of filial devotion for him.
Although Natalie Cole also passed away in 2015, perhaps the two of them are now joyfully duetting together in heaven.
