Country Music Tournament

DISCLAIMER: This won't be as fast as some other song tournaments have been. I want to do this at a leisurely pace. Each set will probably be up for at least two days. I have school five days a week, so sometimes I won't feel like doing work for this thread. If you have a problem with waiting an extra day every now and then, you don't have to participate. However, it will be a pretty chill thread if I can help it.

We've done a country song tournament before, and I'd like to do another. If you want to play along, come right in. This won't be as uptight as some of the song tournaments have become. If you feel like you don't want to participate in this tournament at any point, that's fine too. If you feel like you want to jump in after we've already started, you can vote if you want. But if you want to nominate songs, well just let me know now. I guess a 64 song tournament is the way to go, unless you guys want to try a 128. Just sign up for noms and let me know.

It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!” ~ Rocky Balboa

If you want to start nominating now, I think it's safe to go ahead with 8 songs. I'll make sure the numbers work, because I know some people might not have 8 country songs they want to nominate. Those people can feel free to join too.

I'll edit my noms in here:

The Statler Brothers - Flowers on the Wall
Nikki Lane - Sleep With a Stranger
Whitey Morgan and the 78's - Waitin' Round to Die
Colter Wall - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie
Sturgill Simpson - Breakers Roar
Cody Jinks - I'm Not the Devil
Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material
Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes
Waylon Jennings - Bob Wills is Still the King
George Strait - Honky Tonk Crazy
George Strait - 80 Proof Bottle of Tear Stopper

I will join, hoping I can find enough stuff that qualifies as I'm not too familiar with most country yet. If I can't come up with enough, definitely go ahead and spread 'em open slots around.

The Oak Ridge Boys-Elvira

Glen Campbell-Rhinestone Cowboy

Johnny Lee-Looking for Love

Jerry Reed-East Bound and Down

Tom Jones-Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow

B.J. Thomas-Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song

Billy Swan-I Can Help

Don Williams-Tulsa Time

We need more whiskey songs fellers.

Where's Captain Spaulding? This screams him.

If you see him around, send him this way. If he's down, cool. If not, that's cool too.

Im In Too

George Jones-----I Dont Need Your Rocking Chair.
Johnny Cash------- Wanted Man
Cathy Mattea-------18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses
Hank Williams Jr--- Country Boy Can Survive.
Randy Travis---------Forever Amen
Chris Ledeux--------Cadillac Ranch
Confederate Railroad-- Queen Of Memphis

If you don't mind, can you look up the youtube links for these songs and hyperlink them? It would just make it easier on me.

Not the most knowledgable about country but I've been starting to explore it more the last few days, hope these all count. I was considering some Death Grips but I think that's way too much country for most people.

Jason Isbell - Elephant
Richard Buckner - Blue and Wonder
Ry Cooder - Vigilante Man
Drive-By Truckers - Tornadoes
Ben Nichols - Shelter
Gillian Welch - Annabelle
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See a Darkness

I'm in. (Was there ever any doubt? )

EDIT: These are my noms:

Hank Williams Sr. - Move It On Over
Bill Anderson - Still
The Statler Brothers - Do You Remember These?
Merle Haggard - Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star

I swear I'm not trying to be a pain in your neck, but can you format the links the same way the others have?

If you need help with it, you just need to get rid of the "www" and replace it with "m" and hyperlink it over the artist and song title.

Thank you! Finally one that I will love to do. I'm in, if you don't mind, dear.
