- “Tennessee Whiskey” From Chris Stapleton’s 'Traveller' (2015) Stapleton’s version of this song gets top billing because it helped launch a beloved-in-Nashville songwriter to superstardom as an artist, but it’s just one of three classic renditions of Dillon’s greatest co-write.
- “Nobody in His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her” From George Strait’s '#7' (1986) Picking just one song from the endless list of great Dillon co-writes in Strait’s catalog is only a step below picking a favorite child.
- “Miami, My Amy” From Keith Whitley’s 'LA to Miami' (1985) This breakthrough single for the bluegrass prodigy-turned-country hitmaker’s short yet storied career comes from a trio of songwriters: Dillon, country legend Hank Cochran and frequent Dillon collaborator Royce Porter.
- “What Would Your Memories Do” From Vern Gosdin’s 'There Is a Season' (1984) One of the best country vocalists of the past 40 years teamed up with one of the genre’s best storytellers a few times, from bartender’s choice “Set ‘Em Up Joe” to this overlooked tale of relentless heartache.
