My Dad took me to my first concert, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.\u00a0 Being a man who was in to Willie, Waylon, Hank Jr, Glen Campbell… my Dad’s music tastes shaped my early music tastes.<\/p>\n
Recently, on a drive home from work, I suddenly had an urge to hear “Pancho and Lefty” by the aforementioned Willie and Waylon.\u00a0 That got me to thinking about the Country music I used to listen to growing up, so grab your Stetson, pull up your boots and check out these old-school Country tunes…<\/p>\n
Whiskey River<\/a> –\u00a0<\/strong>A cover of an earlier song, Willie first released this on his album “Shotgun Willie” in 1973.\u00a0 Bouncing back and forth between Southern Rock and a Texas Two-Step vibe, it’s a catchy song that has become Willie’s signature song.<\/p>\n Dixieland Delight –<\/strong><\/a> Released by ‘Alabama’ on their 1983 album “The Closer You Get”.\u00a0 In 2019, Rolling Stone put it as #7 in the Top 25 “Songs about the South”, and it has been an on-and-off ‘pre 4th Quarter’ song tradition of the Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n Devil Went Down to Georgia<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0– This song by Charlie Daniels Band has more than just a passing history with me.\u00a0 If you know, you know.\u00a0 If you don’t, then you weren’t there and wouldn’t understand.<\/p>\n She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)<\/a> –\u00a0<\/strong>The stereotypical “country song” about a guy who’s wife leaves him and takes everything, it’s cleverly done by Jerry Reed and his storytelling style.<\/p>\n Convoy<\/a> –\u00a0<\/strong>This song by C.W. McCall is more of a silly guilty pleasure (as is the movie).\u00a0 It’s made even ‘better’ by the fact that there’s like 3 different versions of it.<\/p>\n What say you Somethings?\u00a0 Hit us up on our socials and let us know!<\/p>\n -PCR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My Dad took me to my first concert, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.\u00a0 Being a man who was in to Willie, Waylon, Hank Jr, Glen Campbell… my Dad’s music tastes shaped my early music tastes.<\/p>\n Recently, on a drive home from work, I suddenly had an urge to hear “Pancho and Lefty” by the aforementioned Willie and Waylon.\u00a0 That got me to thinking about the Country music I used to listen to growing up, so grab your Stetson, pull up your boots and check out these old-school Country tunes…<\/p>\n Whiskey River<\/a> –\u00a0<\/strong>A cover of an earlier song, Willie first released this on his album “Shotgun Willie” in 1973.\u00a0 Bouncing back and forth between Southern Rock and a Texas Two-Step vibe, it’s a catchy song that has become Willie’s signature song.<\/p>\n Dixieland Delight –<\/strong><\/a> Released by ‘Alabama’ on their 1983 album “The Closer You Get”.\u00a0 In 2019, Rolling Stone put it as #7 in the Top 25 “Songs about the South”, and it has been an on-and-off ‘pre 4th Quarter’ song tradition of the Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n Devil Went Down to Georgia<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0– This song by Charlie Daniels Band has more than just a passing history with me.\u00a0 If you know, you know.\u00a0 If you don’t, then you weren’t there and wouldn’t understand.<\/p>\n
