So with country still being somewhat of a niche genre, it's probably not unexpected that sometimes, songs will just completely disappear from circulation. As in, you can't find them on iTunes, no one's bootlegged them to YouTube, etc.
* Carrie Underwood's cover of "I'll Stand by You" that she performed on Idol Gives Back was pulled off iTunes and has not been seen or heard anywhere since. This is especially surprising, since it also got to #6 on the Hot 100 thanks to strong downloads -- also meaning that it has outpeaked all but one of her actual singles!
* I have been completely unable to find a copy of "Once a Woman Gets a Hold of Your Heart" by Heartland anywhere. The only versions on YouTube are concert recordings.
* David Lee Murphy's "Loco" is completely unavailable in any form. He also did an iTunes only EP with a couple remixes of "Loco" (I still have the "Muy Caliente" version, which I preferred to the original), but that disappeared too when Koch/Audium closed.
* Clint Black's "Iraq and Roll" has only karaoke versions and lyric sites circulating. I can't find even a bootleg of the official version. It was only available off his website for a short time, but a few stations downloaded and played it.
* The single version of "You Look Good in My Shirt" from 19 Kids is nowhere to be found online. All online outlets have only the older version from Golden Road.
* The studio version of "It's Your Song" by Garth Brooks was never released commercially as far as I can tell. I remember hearing it once or twice.
* Also gone entirely is the radio edit of "Tell Her" by Lonestar, one of the few times I actually preferred the "power ballad" treatment to the more subdued album version. While their Greatest Hits has the radio edits of everything else, it still has the album version of "Tell Her".
* "No Regrets Yet" by Sonya Isaacs and "Texas Plates" by Kellie Coffey were never put on iTunes. I remember hearing both when I started listening to ACC regularly, and was surprised at the lengths I had to go to in order to find either. (In fact, I uploaded "No Regrets Yet" to YouTube myself.)
* The only trace of "After All" by Brett James online is a single MySpace page.
* John Berry's "The Stone" seems to exist absolutely nowhere on the Internet (although I do remember hearing it on an online radio station a LONG time ago). It was from an album that he had to stop recording because he was having vocal cord issues.
* I found an article mentioning that Cledus T. Judd recorded a parody of "I Like It, I Love It", which was a B-side to an obscure Christmas single. That is literally the only mention I've found of said article.
* ETA: Later on, Cledus released a song called "Illegals" that went to #57 for a single week. I literally can't find this song anywhere.
* Curtis Wright's "She's Got a Man on Her Mind" fell from the charts because the label he was on at the time closed. One of the only existing recordings of it was clipped from an American Country Countdown show.
* Not quite an example, but Shazam does not recognize "Lucky Moon" by the Oak Ridge Boys even though it was a #6 hit. It must've gone out of print very quickly.

Kind of a dumb one since I'm relatively new to the genre anyway but I've always wanted a studio version of "If the Fish Don't Bite" by Eric Paslay to keep in my personal library.

Montgomery Gentry - Life Beside a Gravel Road.
This was supposed to be on a Greatest Hits album that Columbia pulled last minute. I remember hearing this song as a kid in concert and being SO hyped to download it. Hopefully it sees the light of day eventually

Ten Pound Hammer I own both the regular and Muy Caliente versions of "Loco" by David Lee Murphy. I loved the mixed version and WYRK played it over the original. John Pierce - "I'd Still Have You" (I now own it but nowhere online). Both of Matt Jenkins singles ("King Of The Castle"/"Bad As I Want To"). Love both and the second was stellar but they're nowhere to be found. This was when some labels thought it would be a good tactic to buck the new trendy iTunes and Universal South never had either up. Just a YouTube of "Bad As I Want To". And the Lost Trailers version of "Chicken Fried." It was a single for a month in March of 2006 before Zac Brown had BNA pull it. I actually enjoyed the Lost Trailers version more. It's impossible to find now.

There was a "simpler" version of Emily West's "Blue Sky" floating around that featured Emerson Hart a couple years before Capitol fancied it up a bit, added Keith Urban to it and made it a single. I want to say that it was posted on her Myspace page and/or was one of the songs that People made available to download on their site back when they did that. Both versions were very good, but I've always preferred the earlier version of it.

I believe 4 Runner's entire discography has been unavailable for ages. I know their debut album is out of print, and their second Mercury album I don't think was even finished despite "That Was Him (This Is Now)" making the charts. (Lead singer Craig Morris actually shared a few tracks from the album with me.) Their Getaway Car album was released on a small independent label, as was a later track titled "We Will Hope with You" -- of which I can find no trace other than a one-line review on Country Universe.

For Ten Pound Hammer: Here is Curtis Wright's original version of She's Got A Man On Her Mind. Later, it became Conway Twitty's final top 40 hit in 1991 (#22): I think I saw you post about Tennessee Birdwalk by Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan. I had saluted that once and here is the video I used for it:

Shannon Lawson's Big Yee Haw album appears to have been released absolutely nowhere. I was unable to find "Smokin' Grass" anywhere at all, but "Just Like a Redneck" has at least one bootleg.

While not Big Yee Haw, I have a CD from him called The Acoustic Livingroom Sessions that has Smokin' Grass on it. I absolutely love that song.

All 3 of Martina McBride's mid-to-late-00s albums have an iTunes bonus track that was available during pre-release only. For Waking Up Laughing it was a cover if Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou", and for Shine it was a cover of Phil Collins' "Can't Stop Loving You". Those are impossible to find now because if you didn't pre-order the album there is literally nowhere to purchase them or stream them. Fortunately there is a copy of both of those on YouTube, so they can at least still be heard somewhere. However, for the Timeless album the iTunes bonus track is "Let It Be Me", and that song basically might as well have never existed. It is not even on YouTube. Plus nobody seems to even know that the song existed because there was also a Target release of that album with 4 bonus tracks, so the random pre-release-only iTunes track has been more or less forgotten, even among her fans. Luckily "Let It Be Me" is now available on international versions of iTunes for some reason, so non-U.S. people can purchase it if they want to! I was finally able to track down a copy about a year ago. But I have literally never had to search so long and so hard to be able to find a single song Actually the Emotion album has a hard-to-find international bonus track as well, but I was able to just order a physical copy of the album from Amazon UK and it came with the bonus track. So that one wasn't exactly hard to find. And if anybody is interested I would definitely check it out! "For The Love Of A Woman" is incredible!

'll bet you can find Martina McBride singing the phone book from the 1980s. "And there in the Q's, Mr. Quincy's got cancer Will he ever live to see his daughter live her dream of being a dancer? Over at the R's, Susan Randall from Cheyenne Dreams of the day that she'll never again be beaten by a MAAAAAAAAAAAN...."

I wish that she would just hurry up and release a normal song about people who don't have issues, so that you could start relating to her music again.

Ray Vega had three singles: "Remember When", "I Can Dream", and "Even More". I found "Remember When" on a special promotional CD put out by Maxwell House Coffee that I found at a thrift store a while back, and I found a single of "Even More" at another thrift store. I have uploaded "Remember When", but haven't gotten around to "Even More" yet. And I probably should, since it seems no one else has yet.
Only question is, where am I even going to find "I Can Dream"?

Tracy Byrd's "Lately (Been Dreamin' 'Bout Babies), Carrie Underwood's "There's A Place For Us" (from The Chronicles of Narnia Voyage Of The Dawn Treader), Mel Tillis' "Coca Cola Cowboy". All 3 have been impossible to find for me.

^Speaking of David Lee Murphy’s “Loco”, which I’m fortunate enough to have the song. I can’t seem to find his Tryin’ To Get There or We Can’t All Be Angels albums. Another album that’s been impossible to find for me is David Ball’s Amigo album. I’m talking physical copies of these. I know David Lee’s Angels and David’s Amigo are available digitally.

Shannon Lawson's Big Yee Haw album appears to have been released absolutely nowhere. I was unable to find "Smokin' Grass" anywhere at all, but "Just Like a Redneck" has at least one bootleg. While not Big Yee Haw, I have a CD from him called The Acoustic Livingroom Sessions that has Smokin' Grass on it. I absolutely love that song. Billy Yates (who co-wrote this) also recorded the song for one of his albums. Good stuff. I also have an album called "Acoustic Studio Sessions" with much of Shannon's "Big Yee Haw" record on it. ^Speaking of David Lee Murphy’s “Loco”, which I’m fortunate enough to have the song. I can’t seem to find his Tryin’ To Get There or We Can’t All Be Angels albums. Another album that’s been impossible to find for me is David Ball’s Amigo album. I’m talking physical copies of these. I know David Lee’s Angels and David’s Amigo are available digitally. I'm pretty sure there are a plethora of those albums around Nashville bargain bins. I own them myself, personally (I put them on my personal iTunes).
