an excellent list with a few wonderful gems – “lost” selections of years ago – there are a few more tearjerker-type tributes by Red Sovine that could be added – you folks may also want to check out a nice compilation of “tributes to dad” at http://coolrain44.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/songs-for-dad/

Fantastic list! Although it does make me sad that most songs about Dad are negative or heartbreaking. We need more happy daddy songs!

I heard this one on Merle Haggard's Chicago Wind album and it kicked my ass. Here's Chet Atkins's version of I Still Can't Say Goodbye

Lane Turner’s “Horses” is a great song about a divorced dad looking out for his little boy. Sadly it was never commercially released, but it just might be on the 9513’s private music server if Juli was interested in taking a listen…
