Today in Music History, we learned that on this day in 1986, Steve Earle released his debut studio album, Guitar Town. It features the singles "Hillbilly Highway," "Someday," "Goodbye's All We've Got Left," and, the album’s title track, “Guitar Town.”

It got us thinking about how many songs there are that mention the word guitar, and when you think about it, there are quite a few! Let’s put together a playlist of songs that mention the well-loved instrument.
