Probably too much effort to include some current songs that I doubt will stand the test of time.  But I think most of the songs are reasonable choices even if there are probably equally reasonable choices not on the list.

No songs by Hank Williams? That would be like a blues list without Robert Johnson. Agreed that some of the songs in that top 10 will not stand up to time. Dolly Parton had many songs more worthy of Top 10. 

Hank had #20 Your Cheatin Heart and # 47 Hey Good Lookin

Jambalaya is one of my favorites. 
Took me decades to realize that Move it on Over by George Thorogood was a cover of a Hank Williams song. Also the gospel song I Saw the Light.

I spent a night following Hank Williams around you tube and was amazed by the songs that I was familiar with, but didn’t know that Hank had written

So if you play a country song backwards, you get your wife, your truck,and the farm back?

Yes, but it puts you right back in that bar where it all started, and being a country singer, you're only gonna screw up your life again like last time
