I've seen Paisley play Alcohol (omg) which I could totally dig (but not play all that well.). What about stuff like All my rowdy friends have settled down, or family tradition? Some I've heard, or seen mentioned, that I'm curious about:Ĭrying shame (mavericks - I like this song but not sure if a real big hit)Īre Chatahoochie, and Boot Scootin Boogie a thing? BSB seems pretty popular. We might pick up Keep Your Hands to Yourself - so you see where we are. Then maybe Gimme Three Steps and Sweet Home, maybe Melissa, and even REM's The End of the World as We Know It - so see how far from "country" songs we are. They may be worn out, but they're new to me/us and our audiences don't care whether or not band members think they're "tired" or not: Here are the most "country" songs we currently do, so ones like this are probably good. I have a trio, so I'd be especially interested in ones that could easily translate to a trio format. So I'm looking for suggestions like that. But they just played "mega hits" that people just know. They also played "Would" by Alice in Chains, and "Love Will Keep Us Together" by - is it Captain and Tenille? and "Dont Stop Believin" by Journey - super eclectic band. One band did "you never even call me by my name" and it just killed. Now I can you tube these, but I'm looking for similar suggestions - the ones that are the "Sweet Carolines" or even the "Mustang Sallys" of the bar set (that would not only appeal to Country fans but just people in general). I know nothing of modern country (Bro Country?) where there seems to be a new crossover happening - it's basically pop/rock music played by country artists (or, apparently, rock artists like Darius Rucker and Steven Tyler.)īut I've seen cover band suggestions of some songs but I just don't know what they are. I know some old Country - Johhny Cash, Waylon, Willie and the boys.know some of the "classics" from the 70s (Rhinestone Cowboy) and songs from the 80s (I Love a Rainy Night and all the KR/DP duets, etc.) that were essentially "pop" songs performed by Country artists.īut these would be super popular crossover hits. So here are just a few of the songs that make strangers in bars cling onto each other like Jack and Rose on that frigid-ass raft (well, like, before she pushes him off.I don't know Country Music. Because for real, the humidity and bad hair days will forever reign over gray skies, biting wind, and that nuisance from the sky we call snow. on a Tuesday simply because it's summer and that's something to celebrate.
#COUNTRY SONG BAR NAME FULL#
In fact, it's best served in a bar full of tank top clad people who are out at 12 a.m. "The song" is just as effective whether you're ready to dance on top of the bar or fall asleep under it. Of course, "the song" doesn't always have to be the remedy to a bad day or poor night out. The song that is a unifier, the one that gets everyone to passionately belt out with wild hand gestures, regardless of culture, gender, or creed. This song is the one that makes you, a poor man's Eeyore, and the rest of the downtrodden bar come to LIFE. No, not your fave song at the moment or the one you like to wax poetic about once you've had one too many glasses of Riesling.
It's a rough night - that is, until it happens.
Your head rests in your clammy palm and your sleeve is getting wet from the drink condensation and you look about as happy to be alive as Kristen Stewart. It also doesn't help that you're nursing a poorly mixed drink that tastes a whole lot more like anguish than a vodka cranberry. We've all been there - you're in a bar, the mood is what you can best describe as "meh," your friends are either too drunk, not drunk enough, or talking to other people that aren't you (traitors) and you're left sitting there like a total loser.
