That would presuppose that many of us have been paying attention to you.
JimRob certainly knows that i'm secessionist to my marrow.

And in the case of free dixie, the price is right.
When we were at UF, me and my pals would crank up that tune before heading over to Florida Field.
Well, I didn't presuppose anything about Freepers paying attention me. You did.
feeling as you do about dixie & her wonderful people, i would think you'd be out every day trying to EJECT the southland from the union.
you might also consider leaving FR for your true home, DU. all your south-HATING buddies from the coven are over there posting the same hate-FILLED, ignorant, anti-dixie DRIVEL that they used to post on the WBTS threads.be GONE.

Glad you noticed.

I bet that's an anthem down there. Squeeked by the old ball coach last week - that was a nailbiter.
Yeah, well of course THAT one's about the yankees.
Glad to see "Outfit" by The Drive-by Truckers on there. They should have had a few more in my opinion though. Especially "Decoration Day" and potentially the entire Dirty South album.

Hard for me to hate on Steve Earle for his politics he is such a great songwriter. And why Copperhead Road isn't on this list I will never know.
stand, you never disappoint me and I also try always to meet your expectations.
Yes. And I must say how incredibly pleasant it is. It's kind of like someone's no longer waiting around the corner with boxing gloves on. Or waiting to steal lunch money before school...
Awww, poor baby. Let me point out that it was you who chose the Allison Krauss version, with the lyrics she wrote for the movie soundtrack. Don't go getting all hissy on me just because I mention the fact that so many of your Rebel top 100 were written by Yankees. You're so great at lyrics to 70's pseudo-Southern songs written by Yankee folk singers, and you are blind to what the top 100 songs should actually be. You don't need any Yankees. If you had any sense at all you could make a top 500 Southern Song list from two great genre that are uniquely Southern, bluegrass and spirituals, and not hit a single Yankee composer. You've got "Love Shack" and "Ode to Billy Joe", where is "The Tennessee Blues"? Where is "Children Go Where I Send Thee" or "Roll the Old Chariot Along" or "On the Old Kentucky Shore"? You all could be trumpeting Harry Burleigh or Ralph Stanley and instead you're building up Joan Baez and the B-52s. Pathetic.
Dixie Road by Lee Greenwood
Sunday in the South by Shenandoah
The movie version was 'arranged' by Miss Krauss, not written, as you implied. I don't believe that Miss Krauss has taken credit for 'writing' this song.
your Rebel top 100 were written by Yankees
It's not MY Rebel top 100. (go to post #29 for a few of my selections)
The title of this thread is "100 Best Songs of the South", the keyword being OF. Which makes the rest of your post moot.
BTW, don't try to get snooty with me about Bluegrass music. I used to take banjo lessons from this guy who lives about 15 miles from me:
