Folks,
Country week can be lively or schmaltzy depending on the song you pick.
Here's a great song that has long been forgotten that does not require dancing but will require skills at working up the crowd and audience interaction.
Anyone remember -- JIM CROCE's "BAD BAD LEROY BROWN" ?
Now, I'd like to hear the crowd clapping/stomping in time to this one plus the backup singers singing "BAD" half a sec behind the lead singer's "BAD". That would be a fun song that would REAAAALLLY Entertain. Something that we watch TV for in the first place.
NOW WHO DO YOU THINK I HAVE IN MIND AS THE ONE PERSON WHO CAN PULL THIS OFF ?
HINT: It ain't a woman...
In what genre would "Georgia On My Mind" fall? Have you heard his version of that? Is he saving it for later?
Good choice for Taylor, but does it count as country? I always thought of Jim Croce as more of a folk singer.
