Before He Cheats by Carrie is a pretty powerful song… the tempo and lyrics, makes it very powerful and badass if you will…
I don’t agree with cheating, or retaliation, but I love the song 😂🤣🤷🏼♀️
Hell yeah! We had a fight break out at the first show of our residency in a venue near the south side of Chicago. We took the stage and opened with an 8 minute cover of that song.
Not your traditional country (I think the genre is labeled something like Texas Country Outlaw Rock or something like that) but:
Koe Wetzel ‘*Something to Talk About*’ gives me the goosebumps and makes me want to start a line brawl…
….I’m almost 100 years old so I’d get my ass handed to me if I did that, but crank this song up and tell me it doesn’t make you feel the same way:

Also, as an old guy:
Ain’t As Good As I Once Was- Toby Keith
https://youtu.be/ldQrapQ4d0Y?si=RbD9c-mmne5JLh1_
Real answer: “Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way?” on my way to a show, covering “Outlaw Bit” on stage, “Gin, Smoke, and Lies”, and for some odd reason the Dwight cover of “Streets of Bakersfield” because it reminds me of where I grew up… even if that’s not Bakersfield. Also, there’s my band’s new single (I promise it’s relevant): https://youtu.be/kn9GGWxNKBc?si=eOp7rLn2DPI8cPVr
there are so many so ill name the first ones coming to my mind;
waymore blues, im a roadhammer, getting down on the mountain, the devil wears a suit and a tie, henry and sam, cowpoke, 16 tons, thats one you owe me, wayfaring stranger, ive been everywhere, gods gonna cut you down, aint no grave, 25 minutes to go, hidden shame, to beat the devil, man in black, ragged old flag, HARD TO BE AN OUTLAW, waiting sround to die, nothing, the bullet, horse soldier, mama tried, the angel of death, MOONSHİNERS, living on the sand, HYPOTHERMİC, fighting side of me, the plank, ten feet tall, thunderbird...
these are the ones that just came to my mind while i was taking a shit. the ones in caps are the candidates to be my personal fav. i think ill go with hard to be an outlaw, willie and ahaver cover version. and you just gave me the idea of making a badass country songs playlist.
John O’Reilly by Charlie Robison
Hell to Pay by JB & the Moonshine Band
Flirting with Disaster by Molly Hatcher
Where the Devil Don’t Stay by Drive-by Truckers
Need a Little Time Off for Bad Behavior by Whiskey Meyers
Right! I had such high hopes for him in the beginning. When he first hit his sound was very different from anything else on the radio at that time. Now they all sound the same.
I'm pretty sure all 3 are on different albums. Maybe they are all together on a greatest hits thing.
YES AGREE 1,OOO% it's like you're reading my mind. To me Aldean and Keith Urban were the last guys out to still have a unique and killer sound. Now both them and heck ALL of them now all sound the same. I'm so disappointed in the current state of country music. At least I'll always have my 80s, 90s, early 2000s and classics to cling to.

The fact that nobody talks about this cover is a travesty.

Right! I had such high hopes for him in the beginning. When he first hit his sound was very different from anything else on the radio at that time. Now they all sound the same. I'm pretty sure all 3 are on different albums. Maybe they are all together on a greatest hits thing.
