I haven't listened to the playlist yet but I've really enjoyed drafting that category

KP does not like twang, and has made it known many times. I was just kidding with him.

[Mrs. Rannous]

Love it, at my wedding we wanted to avoid all the glass clinking for a kiss so we had cards at the table that said if you wanted us to kiss, the table had to stand up and sing a song. My family sang Wild Thing for us lol. 

What is this?

 

[Raging weasel]

There were actually more songs in the Prime County playlist than I thought. It's poor Elvis that only had 2

He also has a Christmas song on the Holly playlist, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

Round 30  -  Road Trip  -  Kongos  -  Come With Me Now

It was on this evening while we were getting dinner.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I think you should listen to Prime Country  

I will admit to listening to the Eddie Rabbit song when I loaded songs into the playlist.  Brought back memories. 

BTW, @simey - did you pick an Alabama song? I think it was listed wrong on spreadsheet, so that needs adding.

I added the Alabama song today when I noticed it wasn't on the Prime Country playlist.  

 

[simey]

I still have a hard time adding songs to collaborative playlists. Does anyone else?

I don't remember that ER song but did listen to I Love  a Rainy Night alot when at my cousin's house

Do you remember this ER song?

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Do you remember this ER song?

I do.  And I like it.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Do you remember this ER song?

I remember hearing this on top 40 radio as a kid, and having no idea it was marketed as country. I love it as well. 

 

[Raging weasel]

Do you remember this ER song?

I do but couldn't have told you the name of it.

I'm still confusing Eddie Rabbitt with Eddie Money.

The two are somehow different, right?

I'd do the punch line, but that would ruin it for others.

What is this?

Maybe it’s a Midwest thing but around here during the early part of a wedding reception people will often start making clanging sound by tapping plates or glasses with a fork and everyone will join in until the newly married couple kids. I find it annoying hence the reason we made them sing instead.

I’ve seen it at every wedding I’ve attended - in the Northeast and in California - as well.

Happens in Florida, too. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Fun fact: Eddie Rabbit’s real name is Eddie Rabinowitz. Understandably, he thought the country audience in the 70s might not embrace a Jewish artist.

Tough call today between classic country and more road trip. I’m not too well versed in classic country but I have a few songs I like and the old school women of county are especially great. On the other hand, I drop to work today with the road trip song playing and it felt great. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with...

Or you could do one of each.

 

[Ilov80s]

Yeah but I kind of like trying to find 2 songs work with each other for a list. It’s now I’ve gone so far and will stick with it.

Never heard of it.  All they'd have gotten from us is an expressive middle digit.

Classic country road trip song imo

I'm still confusing Eddie Rabbitt with Eddie Money.

The two are somehow different, right? 

I was at a pub the night Eddie Money died (shocker) and there was a full band that plays "older" music there. Almost every other night it's one or another single acoustic guy who plays 90s/00s covers to cater to folks in their 20s/30s/40s. 

This band was catering to 50+ and they did in fact bring out a bar full of people that night (who turned it into a dance spot for the first and only time in my ten years of going there weekly). 

Anyway, my one simple request was an Eddie Money song in honor of his death. They said they didn't know any but they'd look it up and try it out. They never did. 

I bet acoustic guy would have found a way

It will become more clear once the dice land on the Eddie Money channel.

Round 31:

Willie's Roadhouse channel

Southern Nights -- Glen Campbell

I discussed this song from writer Allen Toussaint's perspective in this post. 

 

[simey]

Merle wrote this song and put it on one of his Christmas albums, and four months later he also named an album the title of this song, and put the song on that album too. He must have liked it a lot. 

Round 31

If We Make it Through December - Merle Haggard and the Strangers   (Willie's Roadhouse)

Listening to a little Thunder Road while the kiddo does a school project.  "Daddy, I really like your music!"

The band always reminds me of Beavis & Butthead - they used to get a fair amount of airplay on the show.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 31

El Paso -  Marty Robbins (Willie's Roadhouse)

 

[rockaction]

This next one is taken from 1997, a year I would drive from Washington, D.C., to Hamilton, N.Y. every other weekend after working seventy hour weeks to see my girlfriend back at school (she had no car). The standard trip involved Friday night with her, Saturday night with her -- and my friends and hers. Anyway, these two tracks saw mad airplay in the car that fall. Ignore that Art Alekakis once said he was in it for the money and remember how good the harmonies are in the first part of the song. This is definitely a period piece.

Round 31.xx

Category: Road Trip

Artist: Everclear

Song: So Much For The Afterglow

31.xx Good Corn Liquor - The SteelDrivers

Gunfighter Ballads, you're not kidding.

eta* I have heard the song before. It must be rather famous. So he's saying that the girl whose lover he shot comforted him at death? Sounds wild. I'd expect bitterness. Then again, with a heart that wild...

The Grateful Dead often covered it live - but I’m guessing that’s probably not where you’ve heard it.

Ah, that is probably where I've heard it, Doc. Unless Cash covered it. I've heard some live Dead. That would be one whose lyrics I'd remember.

It was in the finale of Breaking Bad.
