E’s 4th of July Weekend Country Countdown – pt. 4
July 4, 2009
I’m back again to keep these hits coming. I figure I’ll have to keep a pretty steady posting pace to get you all 200 songs by weekends end, so i’ll continue to work on a post every couple hours or so (at least while I have nothing better to do at work).
170. Alan Jackson – Who’s cheatin’ who. Another jam from a big country star (with many more to follow – it’s Alan-freaking-Jackson, after all). Relationships…tricky…
169. Mark Chesnutt – Goin’ through the big D. This one is a classic country tune with a classic message of lvoe and loss. Add a specific reference to a Texas city and you’ve got a staple country jam. (again, no video. sorry).
Mar Chesnutt – Going through the big D
168. George Strait – Carrying your love with me. It’s George Strait, of course he’s getting multiple looks on this list. Another classic country jam. (sorry for the weird video. it wasn’t easy finding a video on youtube that isn’t a cover).
167. Joe Diffie – A night to remember. I almost failed to include my man Joe on this list, but, realizing my error of omission, I was able to slide him in for you (you’ll thank me later).
166. Phil Vassar – Just another day in paradise. Another fun, feel-good country jam (shocking). This will be Vassar’s only jam on the list, so enjoy.
165. Joe Nichols – Brokenheartsville. Another one-hit wonder (at least for the purposes of this list) but a good little jam about heartache (and believe me, country KNOWS heartache).
164. John Michael Montgomery – I love the way you love me. For some reason I could only get you this live version, but it still gets the job done.
163. Dixie Chicks – I can love you better. Nothing like having too many girls wanting to love you. Especially if some of them are these hot little blondes. Jam #2 from these chicks – many more to come.
162. JoDee Messina – I’m alright. Another female country star whom I like very much. An old, former girlfriend of mine was a big Messina fan, and she got me hooked. Again, one of several of her’s to make the list.
161. Kenny Chesney – There goes my life. Another tale of life’s little mystery and rolling with the punches sung by one of the masters. This is one of my favorite Chesney songs.
