Here’s another 10 for fun

1. I Hate This Town – Shane O’Dazier
2. Turbo Twang – Wayne Warner
3. That’s Just Me – Billy Yates
4. Troubadour – George Strait
5. Alcohol – Brad Paisley
6. I Had To Be Me – Ricochet
7. I Wanna Be A Hillbilly – Billy Currington
8. Crazy Life – Phil Vassar
9. Cheapest Hotel – Tracy Byrd
10. I’ll Always Love That Girl – Rick Ferrell

Odd that no female singers came up. Rick Ferrell recorded that song on his “Different Point of View” record for DreamWorks SKG (an album that was barely released). Shane O’Dazier was the song I started with as I’m working up a review of the single for Roughstock…

Leeann, I wouldn’t have that album if I wasn’t offered it for review back when I wrote for countrymusic.about.com. I lived in Seattle at the time and there sure as hell ain’t no Cracker Barrel stores here!

Matt, I was interested in getting that Cracker Barrel album, but can’t bring myself to buy it from their website and pay shipping and handling and all.

From my iTunes (ergo my iPod “classic”) country music category of 7900 songs,

1. Already Gone – Sugarland
2. The Gambler – Blake Shelton
3. Sunday Morning – Elizabeth Cook
4. We’ll Meet Again – Johnny Cash
5. Honky Tonk Friends – Jason Michael Carroll
6. Amazed – Lonestar
7. Without You – David Nail (the original Mercury album from 2002)
8. Best Days Of Your Life – Pickler and Swift
9. Passionate Kisses – Mary Chapin Carpenter
10. I Still Like Bologna – Alan Jackson

Well that was certainly an interesting list as it’s more ‘new country’ than I’d have expected to pop up. Still, not a bad list :) The Blake Shelton song is from the Cracker Barrel “Award-Winning” songs album.
