LeAnn’s Blue was amazing…I also loved MCC’s “Down at the Twist and Shout”…I was blown away by both of those performances.

Great topic…but another suggests itself as well.

Have you folks ever done a:

“Name some songs that didn’t impress you at first, but that have really grown on you.” topic?

LeAnn Rimes’s Blue. That song was pretty powerful to many teens and changed a lot of perspectives.

“Down at the Twist and Shout” – Mary Chapin Carpenter. I remember hearing that on the radio the first time and thinking I’ve got to find out who is singing that. Such a fun song.

Something about John Michael Montgomery’s “Letters From Home” really got to me when I first heard it. Some of the emotion has worn off as time has passed, but I still like it and would love to hear it for the first time again.

I had to think about this. There are a few songs that come to mind. A recent, first listen, was Leann Womacks “More Where That Came From”. I knew the name of the song because it’s also the title track but I didn’t know the premise of it. The first time I heard iit it was like a light bulb going on. Ooooh!!! NOW I get it!

Another memorable, “first listen” was George Strait’s “Give It Away”. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard that song and I loved it from the first note.

One I’d like to go back and hear for the first time, Blake Shelton’s “Austin”. It still gives me goosebumps even though I know what’s coming. Amazing song.

“Where’ve You Been” – Kathy Mattea
“Somebody Should Leave” – Reba
“Who’s Bed Have Your Boots Been Under” – Shania
“Blame It On Your Heart” – Patty Loveless
“How Will I Know” – Whitney

Is this the gayest list ever?

I still LOVE the Kris Tyler album (esp “I’m In Trouble Now”)

There are so many, but I’ll keep it short.

“Concrete Angel”
“Three Chords and the truth”
“Where’ve you been”
“What a Woman knows” (remember kris tyler)
“The Chain of Love”
“Travelin’ Soldier”

Great question!

Albums have to grow on me, but individual songs get less appealing after I’ve heard them for the millionth time.

I have to agree with Dan on the Mattea song. I was floored when I heard it for the first time and subsequent times after that. Of course, I still love the song, but that first time warm and fuzzy feeling is long gone. Another one that really effected me the first time I heard it was Joe Diffie’s “Ships That Don’t Come In.”

A month or so ago, The9513 was giving away free downloads of some songs from the Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson album and I remember Kelly from The Gobblers Knob commenting that he was kind of jealous of the people who get to experience those songs for the first time that day. I felt the same way. There’s nothing like discovering new music for the first time.

I love “Maybe It Was Memphis.” It’s so catchy. I think it’s one of the first country songs I liked.

I would like to hear “Any Man of Mine” by Shania Twain for the first time again. And Sara Evans’ “Three Chords and the Truth.”
