Members guitarguy19 Posted March 15, 2013 Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 I know there's another country song thread going on right now, but the scope of this one is a bit different. We're looking to add 3-5 country songs to the mix, but we want ones that will appeal to the widest audiences, including non country fans. These will be done at bars, weddings, etc. Real dance club gigs won't see them. We started with the psuedo-country "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" and it's gotten pretty good reaction so far. Our other ideas so far are:Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy - Big & RichCountry Girl (Shake it for Me) - Luke BryanBoot Scootin' Boogie - Brooks & Dunn First of all, are these good ideas? Second, any other ideas for songs with a wide appeal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what though We talked about red solo cup but we think it's pretty much past it's usable age now...who knows.We've talked about Folsom since we started the band, but haven't done it becuase we're not sure how well it'll really "work." We're betting Save a Horse will work well, and also really think Country Girl Shake it for Me will work well too.I brought up Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean...in our band a dual vocal with me doing the verses and our singer wailing the choruses could be really cool. Not sure how well it would work. He shot it down pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sweatpat Posted March 15, 2013 Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 Folsom Prison almost always works, as does friends in low places (its a singalong, not a dancer obv.), family tradition is a good uptempo tune with a built in crowd response opportunity (whyyyyyy do you drink? TO GET DRUNK! whyyyyy do you roll smoke? TO GET STONED!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarPlayerFL Posted March 16, 2013 Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 Family Tradition - Hank Jr.The band always stops after each question in the chorus ("Why do you drink?", etc.) and the audience answers, "To get drunk.") This song works when the audience is lubricated. Anything by Johnny Cash works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members modulusman Posted March 16, 2013 Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 Folsom, chicken fried, wagon wheel, save a horse all work well. Amarillo by morning, Silver wings, Neon moon also work well for older country songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
