Its so nice to see Sara Evans on the top 20 list espessially with “Low” one of the highlight singles of her career – I love the bluegrass instrumental to it. And her vocals perform such a happy and positive mood over the song, Thanks for adding it on there!

Great list! I agree with most of the songs on here, and am also pleased to see “Low”! Although it’s not one of Sara’s best songs, it’s still a great piece of music.

Some really great choices Kevin…I am especially delighted that you included Sara Evan’s “Low”.

Not my absolute favorite from Sara, but it’s a good one, and deserves to be on many more lists.

Oh, thanks for the clarification. Your way, the right one, actually makes sense while the way I wrote it really takes the poignancy and point right out of the line, doesn’t it? It’s the “You need the kids” part that gets me anyway.

I don’t like to be the one to be nit-picky (and I even went and listened to the song to be sure), Leeann, but the line you’re talking about is ‘you need the kids, and they need me’. Just wanted to clarify.

I’m glad you’ve been converted, Kevin.

Great list!! I totally agree with this one! It has all the songs I would include in my top 20 list (if I did one).

Oh and I know you weren’t telling me, but thanks for saying where you can download “Space” legally! I’m on my way there now!!

Jim O,

You can buy Sarah Buxton’s “Space” quite legally, at Amazon’s MP3 store. It’s my new store of choice. Better quality downloads, and usually cheaper, too! (Leeann and Dan sold me on it!)

“Somebody Should Leave” is heartbreaking. I can never get over “You need the kids and the kids need you.”

Great list …

Love how you made the connection between ‘Every Other Weekend’ and ‘Somebody Should Leave’ – I had never thought about it, but EOW could easily be Act 2 of ‘Somebody Should Leave’.
