Hello all.

Country and Western is a genre that I know nothing about , but I have a feelling it is only a matter of time before I get asked to play some boot scootin' tracks for "Aunt Floss".

Would anyone be willing to suggest a few tittles that I could arm myself with in preperation for this.....

I am looking for a few slowish numbers and a few fastish ones if possible and if any of them follow each other nicely then that would be a bonus.

Yee Haa, thanks y'all

Glenn.

Only C&W I have played is:

I Walk The Line, Thing Called Love, Ring Of Fire & Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton

Ballad Of Jed Clampett - Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

Rhinestone cowboy, Joleene, Shania Twain- newer crowds, even cotton eye joe !!!!

Islands in the stream, Kenny and Dolly

Leanne Rhymes? some of her older stuff

But u cant really go wrong with Jonny Cash or a bit or two bits of Dolly P :)

Try Shania twain feel like a woman into dolly p 9-5

also ring of fire int rhinestone cowboy or vise versa?

I do that one....and it very rarely fails to fill the dance floor.

Thanks everyone !

Don't forget Billy Jo Spears (What a voice ) and Bellamy Brothers is very popular at my gigs.
Mavericks -Dance the night away is usually a good lead in/out.
True country fans would give you loads of stuff that may or may not work with a crowd but you are pretty safe with what has been mentioned up to now. Good topic choice by the way

Hi,

Thanks for the comments - do you suggest anything in particular by Billy jo Spears and the Bellamy Brothers ?

Glenn.

ThnkGod I'm a Country Boy / John Denver
The Devil Went Down To Georgia /Charlie Daniels Band
Boot Scootin Boogie / Brooks and Dunn
Friends In Low Places / Garth Brooks
The Gambler / Kenny Rogers
Achy Breaky Heart / Billy Ray Cirrus

And all the above

If I said you had a beautifull body - Bellamy's
Let your love flow

What I've got in mind
Blanket on the ground - Billy Jo

These are what I use with some success - Hope it helps Mick

Thanks everyone for your ideas - looks like I've got some research to do to find this little lot......


Cheers,


Glenn.
