Country Music Hits – Top 5s (Part 1)
I love country music. This a secret to no one.
I also love lists. And so here I am with a set of Top 5s from some of my favourite artists in country music.
Part 1 of the lists include 4 acts from 2014’s Boots & Hearts Music Festival… plus the 2013 headliner.
Toby Keith
I’m not the world’s biggest Toby Keith fan. In fact, I really don’t like songs like Who’s Your Daddy and How Do You Like Me Now. But I understand why he’s a superstar in the genre and I’ve seen him put on a killer live show in the past. And, his catalogue isn’t all bad when I take a look at it… here are my top 5 Toby Keith tracks.
☆ Should Have Been A Cowboy
☆ You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like This
☆ God Love Her
☆ Get Drunk And Be Somebody
☆ Whiskey Girl
Paul Brandt
Paul Brandt is a bona fide Canadian Country Music star and his career is one that artists like Dallas Smith and Dean Brody strive to replicate. I’ve been listening to Brandt’s music for years and caught his set 2 years ago at Boots & Hearts. I can’t wait to see what he does with his set this year and I sincerely hope that he plays these 5 hits.
☆ When You Call My Name
☆ Small Towns Big Dreams
☆ Alberta Bound
☆ I Meant To Do That
☆ My Heart Has A History
Luke Bryan
Luke Bryan may be relatively new to country music compared to artists like Keith, Brandt, Tim McGraw and others, but that hasn’t stopped him from planting himself firmly at the top of genre right now with all kinds of hits and a massive fan base. I am quite looking forward to Bryan’s set Saturday night at Boots & Hearts. And if he plays these 5 songs, I’ll be a very happy boy.
☆ Crash My Party
☆ Do I
☆ Drunk On You
☆ Someone Else Calling You Baby
☆ Play It Again
Blake Shelton
Blake Shelton has been at this whole country music thing for quite some time now. But it only recently with a few big hits and his time on TV as a coach on The Voice has become a true superstar. Shelton will headline Boots & Hearts with the Sunday night set and I have 0 doubt that he will send us all home happy and satisfied. If I had to place bets I’d say we’ll hear at least 4 of these 5 hits from Mr. Shelton.
☆ Playboys Of The Southwestern World
☆ Honey Bee
☆ Austin
☆ Mine Would Be You
☆ Doin’ What She Likes
Miranda Lambert
Miranda Lambert is a legitimate country star on her own, and as the wife of Blake Shelton she makes up 1 half of the biggest couple in country. Ever since she burst on to the scene people have been taking notice and she is showing no signs of slowing down. Last year Miranda played the Sunday night set at Boots & Hearts and if/when I have the chance to see her again, I definitely will. These are my 5 favourite Miranda Lambert hits.
☆ Me And Charlie Talking
☆ Over You
☆ Heart Like Mine
☆ More Like Her
☆ Famous In A Small Town
Stay tuned for parts 2, 3 and maybe more PLUS more news, reviews and exclusives as we get closer to the 2014 Boots & Hearts Music Festival.
