Tulsa, OK where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains... Anyways this artist has to be considered a country music legend! He has enjoyed one of the most successful careers in popular music history, breaking records for both sales and concert attendance throughout the 1990s. He continues to sell well and according to Nielsen Soundscan, his albums sales through October 2011 are at 68,561,000, which makes him the best-selling albums artist in the United States in the SoundScan era (since 1991), a title held since 1991, well over 5 million ahead of his nearest rival, The Beatles.[2] Furthermore, according to RIAA he is the second best-selling solo albums artist in the United States of all time behind Elvis Presley (overall is third to the Beatles and Elvis Presley) with 128 million units sold! Off of his self titled 1989 debut album...
Jeff's number 1 song is...
Garth Brooks ~ The Dance
"Looking back on the memory of
the dance we shared 'neath the stars above;
For a moment all the world was right.
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?
And now, I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance;
I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance.
Holding you I held everything.
For a moment wasn't I the king
If I'd only known how the king would fall,
Hey, who's to say - you know I might have changed it all.
And now, I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance;
I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance.
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance"
Finally time for a new top ten! This one is from my boss Jim's former team member Jeff.
Let's head down south again! This time to Florida, y'all! Where we will find this country band! Originally know as Savannah, but later renamed this, a road near by where they practiced. This sing was originally written and performed by George Jones. Off if their 1989 album "The Boys Are Back"...
Jeff's number 10 song is...
Sawyer Brown ~ The Race Is On
" Now the race is on And here comes pride in the backstretch Heartaches goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're tryin' not to fall My hearts out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all"
Okay, let's just say we're headed to Nashville, TN. Where we will find this legendary country music duo. The duo was founded in 1990 through the suggestion of Tim DuBois. Before the foundation, both members were solo recording artists. One wrote songs for John Conlee, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Highway 101 and released a solo album for Capitol Records; both also had charted two solo singles apiece in the 1980's. Off of their 2005 album Hillbilly Deluxe...
Jeff's number 2 song is...
Brooks & Dunn ~ Believe
"I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that i live
Yeah, this can't be
No, this can't be
No, this can't be all there is
When I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see
I believe
Oh, I
I believe"
Why are so many bands from this state? Back to California we go! This is where we will find this rock band. The band took its name from a divinationrhyme about the crow, heard by Duritz in the film Signs of Life. "Well I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow / Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there, counting crows / One for sorrow, two for joy / Three for girls and four for boys / Five for silver, six for gold / Seven for a secret never to be told." Off of their 1996 album Recovering The Satellites...
Jeff;s number 3 song is...
Counting Crows ~ Goodnight Elisabeth
"I was wasted in the afternoon
Waiting on a train
I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth had disappeared again
Back down south to Alabama we go! Where we will find this country artist. He's a relatively new artist, with his first single released in 2006. He has in addition to most of his own material, has co-written singles for Trace Adkins, George Strait, James Otto, Joe Nichols and Jessie James. Off of his 2008 album That Lonesome Song...
Jeff's number 4 song is...
Jamey Johnson ~ In Color
"I said Grandpa what's this picture here
It's all black and white, and it ain't real clear
Is that you there, he said yeah, I was eleven
And times were tough, back in thirty-five
That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
A cotton farm, in the Great Depression
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
Georgia is on my mind! Well at least that is where this next country artist is from. He has received two Grammy Awards, both for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals: in 1992 for "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'," a duet with Marty Stuart, and again in 1998 for "Same Old Train", a collaboration with Stuart and nine other artists. In addition, he has received four awards from the Country Music Association, and has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1992. Off of his 1991 album It's All About To Change...
Jeff's number 5 song is...
Travis Tritt ~ Anymore
"I can't hide the way I feel about you anymore
I can't hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My tears no longer waiting, my resistance ain't that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore"
Memphis, Tennessee, we're here to see the king! (If that didn't give it away, I don't know what will!) This is a song arranged by country songwriter Mickey Newbury and made popular by this artist. Released as a single in 1972...
Jeff's number 6 song is...
Elvis Presley ~ An American Trilogy
"Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away dixieland
Oh I wish I was in dixie, away, away
In dixieland I take my stand to live and die in dixie
