Johnny Paycheck

Including several delinquent youths, at least two singers battling addiction and one jealous rage that ended in murder.

Lots of A-Listers have put out dark country music, but No. 1 on this list is a deep cut you might have never heard before.

Can you believe it?!

Today's "Country Classic Double" at 11:30 a.m. features a number one hit this week back in 1978...Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job And Shove It". How many times have we taken "special requests" for this one from listeners who want to send out a "special message" to their boss, anonymously of course.

Johnny Paycheck would have been 73 years old today. Unfortunately, the country music world lost him in 2003 at age 65. How many times have we received anonymous requests (of course) for Johnny's signature hit "Take This Job And Shove It"! That's not a good song to be singing in the hallway at work when you're walking by your boss's office.
