Country Music Tournament

[jiraffejustin]

Not sure which of your categories I would fit in there having nominated the second song :D , but it's interesting to people like me who don't know some of these singers at all how much stick Blake Shelton is getting and how people don't seem to like Kenny Chesney . No idea why but I'm just voting on the songs :)

Those aren't my categories. I was just making reference to something Blake Shelton said. :D

[NedStark09]

Well not all blue grass singers are good. A Blue Grass song is only as good as the singer who sings it.

2. Tim McGraw-Just to see you smile vs 16 Horsepower - Haw

6. Waylon Jennings - Bob Wills is Still the King vs Ry Cooter - Vigilante Man

Great round-lots of good songs!

[christine]

Gillian Welch 'a creepy bluegrass singer' :rolleyes:

[gbgoodies]

1. Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free vs B.J. Thomas-Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song (The B.J. Thomas song is a great song, but every time I hear it, I can't help but laugh at the Chipmunks version of the song (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TkYu0o16Vns). :lol: )

2. Tim McGraw-Just to see you smile vs 16 Horsepower - Haw

3. Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You vs Ashley Monroe and Blake Shelton - You ain't Dolly (and You ain't Porter) (Tough choice.)

4. Don Williams - It Must Be Love vs Jerry Reed-East Bound and Down (Another tough choice, but I love Don Williams voice.)

5. Buddy Miller - Midnight And Lonesome vs Cody Jinks - I'm Not the Devil (This was a toughest match in this set. They're both very good songs.)

6. Waylon Jennings - Bob Wills is Still the King vs Ry Cooder - Vigilante Man

7. Jamie Lynn Spears-Run vs Glen Campbell-Rhinestone Cowboy

8. Iris DeMent - Let the Mystery Be vs Junior Brown - Highway Patrol

[NedStark09]

Gillian Welch 'a creepy bluegrass singer' :rolleyes:
Im not meaning all Bluegrass is creepy just the way she sing's which is kinda like some old witch scratching tombstones kind erie

[Chypmunk]

Not forgotten this - will get round to voting tomorrow morning I hope.

[christine]

Im not meaning all Bluegrass is creepy just the way she sing's which is kinda like some old witch scratching tombstones kind erie

well I wouldn't describe her voice as that, but it is different. That's always what's attracted me to Country music tho, the range of voices. Don't forget being from the UK, those accents are also exotic to us. Since I was a kid (a long time ago) those C&W records my parents had were music you didn't hear on the radio, so Nashville and that whole scene was seen as kinda far away and romantic in a way. A place you'd love to go to but never would.
These days I'm a fan of different tones of voice (maybe unsurprisingly as I'm a big fan of Dylan :D) . I wouldn't necessarily dislike a whiney or a scratchy or a gravelly voice.

I'm just listening to this round now JJ, won't be long

[christine]

1. Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free vs B.J. Thomas-Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song
the second song is good, but I''m really liking Jason Isbell and this song is in the great 'working man' tradition carried on nowadays by the likes of Springsteen

2. Tim McGraw-Just to see you smile vs 16 Horsepower - Haw again, the first song is good, but I'm voting for Haw as it's a bit different and good too

3. Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You vs Ashley Monroe and Blake Shelton - You ain't Dolly (and You ain't Porter)
well Dolly will get through I guess, she's legend but I've heard that song so many times and the other one is a bit of fun. If it would've been Jolene, now I can't ever tire of that!

4. Don Williams - It Must Be Love vs Jerry Reed-East Bound and Down - Don has a lot of nostalgia value for me. As I sit here I can see several of his albums on my shelf that belonged to my mum and dad. Hearing his gorgeous voice again is lovely :)

5. Buddy Miller - Midnight And Lonesome vs Cody Jinks - I'm Not the Devil - this one was hard as I like what I've heard of Cody Jinks who I'd not heard of before. I've nominated one of his too. However although I'd heard of Buddy Miller I didn't realise how much I liked his voice. Voting for him, but difficult one and would be equally as happy if Cody went through

6. Waylon Jennings - Bob Wills is Still the King vs Ry Cooder - Vigilante Man Class song by Waylon, but live performances are always great to sit through specially when they're as good as this

7. Jamie Lynn Spears-Run vs Glen Campbell-Rhinestone Cowboy Like Run, but Rhinestone Cowboy is iconic and still great after all these years

8. Iris DeMent - Let the Mystery Be vs Junior Brown - Highway Patrol - Yes Topsy, Let the Mystery Be is from The Leftovers but interestingly although the lyrics seen to fit so well with the concept of the show, it was written years before. I really like her voice (Ned's prob going to hate it ;)) . Highway Patrol is such a great song too tho, dammit! I'm going with my song in the probability that not many will vote for it. Will be happy if Junior goes through

[NedStark09]

Maybe I just like older music is all like Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and Ricky Scaggs. There were some others my grandmother and my uncle had but i just cant recall the names of them.

[NedStark09]

Will you guys check out my Country Music Hall Of Fame thread. Im working really hard on it am even doing little comments about each song. I welcome comments on the songs as well.

[Chypmunk]

Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free vs B.J. Thomas-Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song

Tim McGraw-Just to see you smile vs 16 Horsepower - Haw

Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You vs Ashley Monroe and Blake Shelton - You ain't Dolly (and You ain't Porter)
you can blame Whitney - she murdered any affection for that song for me I'm afraid

Don Williams - It Must Be Love vs Jerry Reed-East Bound and Down

Buddy Miller - Midnight And Lonesome vs Cody Jinks - I'm Not the Devil

Waylon Jennings - Bob Wills is Still the King vs Ry Cooder - Vigilante Man

Jamie Lynn Spears-Run vs Glen Campbell-Rhinestone Cowboy
this one's totally on me tho' - country blasphemy it may be but I've never been much of a fan of Rhinestone

Iris DeMent - Let the Mystery Be vs Junior Brown - Highway Patrol

Finally done :)

[mojofilter]

I must say that this tourney is super super slow.


Any way we can speed it up...just a little?

Who hasn't voted yet? (Sometimes you have to post who you're waiting for because some people don't realize it when they haven't voted yet. :) )

[jiraffejustin]

I think it's Destiny and two others. Not sure though. If there is no activity by the time I get out of school tomorrow, I'll do my best to get this sorted.

[christine]

It's Destiny, Swan and Captain Spaulding that's not voted.

[jiraffejustin]

Thanks, christine. :up:

All sets are still open to those guys (and Destiny) until I get home this afternoon. If we are still tied, then I will go looking for tiebreakers.

[mojofilter]

ROUND 1 DAY 4

This is the best set of songs so far. My favorites are the songs by Lionel Riche and Darius Rucker (that version of Stuck On You rivals the original), The Rolling Stones (first time hearing this one and it's awesome), Kris Kristofferson (really cool song), and Kacey Musgraves (I instantly fell in love with her and her song), not to mention my noms: The Gambler, On The Road Again, Achy Breaky Heart, and Breathe.

1. Crooked Still - Little Sadie vs Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker~Stuck On You

2. The Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes vs Randy Travis------Forever and Ever Amen

3. Sugarland - Baby Girl vs Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart

4. Kris Kristofferson - Border Lord vs Dolly Parton - Silver Dagger

5. Willie Nelson - On The Road Again vs Shakira ft Blake Shelton-Medicine

6. Jason Isbell - Elephant vs Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

7. Faith Hill - Breathe vs Gillian Welch - Annabelle

8. Blake Shelton - Who Are You When I'm Not Looking vs Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

[jiraffejustin]

[NedStark09]

1 Stuck On You
2 Forever and Ever A Men
3 Baby Girl
4 Silver Dagger
5 On The Road Again
6 Pass Dont Like Either.
7 Breathe
8 The Gambler

[NedStark09]

Im sorry too say this but Rolling Stones is not a Country Band. It may be a mellow song by The Stones but its no Country Group.

[jiraffejustin]

6 Pass Dont Like Either.


bruh.

[Ðèstîñy]

1. Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker~Stuck On You (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HuRC4MMPOWg)

8. Kenny Rogers - The Gambler (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj4nJ1YEAp4)

[gbgoodies]

1. Crooked Still - Little Sadie vs Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker~Stuck On You

2. The Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes vs Randy Travis------Forever and Ever Amen (I've never understood the appeal of Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones, even if they're singing a country song.)

3. Sugarland - Baby Girl vs Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart (I know most people hate "Achy Breaky Heart", but it's a great song for line dancing.)

4. Kris Kristofferson - Border Lord vs Dolly Parton - Silver Dagger

5. Willie Nelson - On The Road Again vs Shakira ft Blake Shelton-Medicine

6. Jason Isbell - Elephant vs Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

7. Faith Hill - Breathe vs Gillian Welch - Annabelle

8. Blake Shelton - Who Are You When I'm Not Looking vs Kenny Rogers - The Gambler (It's a shame that the Blake Shelton song is up against "The Gambler" because it's one of his best songs, but it never really had a chance. :()

[Chypmunk]

Crooked Still - Little Sadie vs Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker~Stuck On You
That's a far nicer version of Stuck On You than the hit one imo

The Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes vs Randy Travis------Forever and Ever Amen

Sugarland - Baby Girl vs Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart

Kris Kristofferson - Border Lord vs Dolly Parton - Silver Dagger
Not voting on a match with two of mine in that I love equally - y'all can decide this one amongst yourselves

Willie Nelson - On The Road Again vs Shakira ft Blake Shelton-Medicine

Jason Isbell - Elephant vs Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

Faith Hill - Breathe vs Gillian Welch - Annabelle

Blake Shelton - Who Are You When I'm Not Looking vs Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

[jiraffejustin]

6. Jason Isbell - Elephant vs Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

Out of curiosity, is this more of a vote for Jason Isbell or a vote against Kacey Musgraves? Isbell is great, this song in particular being one of his best, and even I voted against my own nomination for it. I am just curious about how you feel about Musgraves.

[Ðèstîñy]

Crooked Still - Little Sadie vs Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker~Stuck On You
That's a far nicer version of Stuck On You than the hit one imo

I couldn't agree more. I've listened to this song a million times since I first discovered it , , , and that was roughly just a month or two ago.

[christine]

I'll be voting in the next couple of hours JJ

[cricket]

1. Crooked Still - Little Sadie vs Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker~Stuck On You

2. The Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes vs Randy Travis------Forever and Ever Amen

3. Sugarland - Baby Girl vs Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart

4. Kris Kristofferson - Border Lord vs Dolly Parton - Silver Dagger-Rarely will I vote against Dolly, but I really liked the other.

5. Willie Nelson - On The Road Again vs Shakira ft Blake Shelton-Medicine-Is that the normal version of On the Road Again? Because I didn't seem to like it like I thought.

6. Jason Isbell - Elephant vs Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

7. Faith Hill - Breathe vs Gillian Welch - Annabelle

8. Blake Shelton - Who Are You When I'm Not Looking vs Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

[christine]

1. Crooked Still - Little Sadie vs Lionel Richie & Darius Rucker~Stuck On You - agree with everyone that Stuck on You in a nicer version than the one that was a hit, but really like Little Sadie's banjo and fiddle, very catchy

2. The Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes vs Randy Travis------Forever and Ever Amen I don't like Far Away Eyes at all. It's the Stones dicking around taking the piss, and I'm not mad on them at the best of times

3. Sugarland - Baby Girl vs Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart - I don't dislike Achey Breaky Heart, it's catchy and I imagine it's fun doing linedancing, but I like Sugarland's Baby Girl a lot

4. Kris Kristofferson - Border Lord vs Dolly Parton - Silver Dagger - hmm hard choice. I think I like Silver Dagger sung as more of a folk song, but it's hard to vote against Dolly. Border Lord is a great song, dark and moody it could almost be a Dylan song from the same era

5. Willie Nelson - On The Road Again vs Shakira ft Blake Shelton-Medicine

6. Jason Isbell - Elephant vs Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material - this is hard too, I like both but I listened to Jason Isbell this afternoon for ages on Spotify. Such a talented guy who can write songs about any difficult subjects without being mawkish.

7. Faith Hill - Breathe vs Gillian Welch - Annabelle no contest! Scratchy voiced Gillian wins my vote ;)

8. Blake Shelton - Who Are You When I'm Not Looking vs Kenny Rogers - The Gambler - this is no contest too. The Gambler is such a fine song. Equal in my eyes to my other favourite Kenny songs Lucille and Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town

[gbgoodies]

6. Jason Isbell - Elephant vs Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material


Out of curiosity, is this more of a vote for Jason Isbell or a vote against Kacey Musgraves? Isbell is great, this song in particular being one of his best, and even I voted against my own nomination for it. I am just curious about how you feel about Musgraves.


This more of a vote for Jason Isbell. I liked both songs, and I think Kacey Musgraves has a beautiful voice. I could easily have voted for the Kacey Musgraves song if it was up against a different song.

I watched "Nashville Star" when she was on it, and IMO, she was one of the better singers that season, and I was very surprised when she was voted out so early.

[gbgoodies]

5. Willie Nelson - On The Road Again vs Shakira ft Blake Shelton-Medicine-Is that the normal version of On the Road Again? Because I didn't seem to like it like I thought.



No, that's not the original version of "On the Road Again". It's a live version. I tried finding the original version online, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

He must be doing something to get some of his songs removed from the internet because I can't find his original version of "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" online either. I wanted to nominate it for this tournament, but I couldn't find any version that would play outside of the U.S.

[NedStark09]

1 How Do I Live----Leann Rimes

While yes this is my nominated song but this was not one of my favorite Haggard songs and this was Sawyer Browns best song.

4 Country Roads Take Me Home---John Denver

Despite being another one of my songs its one of the best Road Traveling songs and George has plenty of hits and good songs.

[christine]

1. Leann Rimes-How do i live vs Kenny Rogers - Lucille Hardly anything would stop me voting for Lucille, and How Do I Live just sounds like a ballad with strings, not very country. The other version GBG linked to has some steel guitar but well even so Lucille is a killer song in my book

2. David Allan Coe - She Used To Love Me A Lot vs Mark Wills~Wish You Were Here Both good but She Used to Love Me a Lot is very catchy

[B]3. Merle Haggard - Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star vs On The Dirt Road--- Sawyer Brown I like both of these but not madly

4. Chris Stapleton - Might As Well Get Stoned vs John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads Country Roads is a sweet song, but I like Chris Stapletons voice more

5. Kathy Mattea----18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses vs George Strait - 80 Proof Bottle of Tear Stopper - Like both of these but 18
Wheels has a nice story to it. I like songs that celebrate the everyday peoples jobs

6. Hank Williams Sr. - Move It On Over vs Mac Wiseman - Little Rosewood Casket It'd take more than a tearjerker to make me vote against Hank, and Move it on Over is a brilliant song. I say tearjerker but that one didn't make me cry , it was a bit too maudlin even for me!

7. Jamie Lynn Spears-shotgun wedding vs Ben Nichols - Shelter I feel like I keep voting against Jamie Lynn (sorry Topsy), even tho I quite like her voice. This is one of the better songs but I like Shelter more

8. Josh Turner - Your Man vs Jamie Lynn Spears-sleep over - That guy Josh has a tremendous deep voice. I like it, and that JL song is a bit generic

[Captain Spaulding]

1. Leann Rimes-How do i live vs Kenny Rogers - Lucille
(I remembered "How Do I Live" once it started playing, although I'm not sure if it's the Leann Rimes version I'm familiar with or someone else's. Either way, it's good for what it is, but "Lucille" is in a different class. It's a shame that Kenny Rogers is probably more well-known for his botched plastic surgery nowadays than his music.)

2. David Allan Coe - She Used To Love Me A Lot vs Mark Wills - Wish You Were Here
(I have an uncle who passed away last year who was a big, big fan of David Allan Coe. I tend to gravitate toward the outlaw country artists, but even though I've listened to several of my uncle's David Allan Coe CDs, I'm still not much of a fan -- except for this particular Johnny Cash cover and a handful of other tunes. "Wish You Were Here" was a little too generic for me.)

3. Merle Haggard - Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star vs On The Dirt Road--- Sawyer Brown
(Love Merle, but that's gotta be one of my least favorite songs by him. First time hearing "On the Dirt Road." Solid song.)

4. Chris Stapleton - Might As Well Get Stoned vs John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads
("Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a very good song, but there's just something about John Denver's music that turns me off. Or maybe it's just his face. Either way, Chris Stapleton is one of the most exciting and soulful country artists to come along in a long time. This song isn't as great as "Tennessee Whiskey," but it's probably my second favorite off his acclaimed album. And as much as I enjoy a Jack and Coke from time to time, I'm much more of a stoner than a drinker. In fact, my head's still a little cloudy from doing too much of that last night, so forgive me if these comments read a bit like a NedStark impersonation.)

5. Kathy Mattea----18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses vs George Strait - 80 Proof Bottle of Tear Stopper
(I'm surprised by how much I enjoy "18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses." One of the best first-time listens I've had so far in this tournament.)

6. Hank Williams Sr. - Move It On Over vs Mac Wiseman - Little Rosewood Casket
(I started to vote the other way so Chypmunk wouldn't feel so lonely, but my conscience wouldn't let me.)

7. Jamie Lynn Spears-shotgun wedding vs Ben Nichols - Shelter
(I like "Shotgun Wedding" more than anything else I've heard from Jaime Lynn Spears so far. Channeling her inner Miranda Lambert works well for her. Unfortunately, it's still not good enough to get my vote.)

8. Josh Turner - Your Man vs Jamie Lynn Spears-sleep over
(I just listened to "Sleep Over" like three seconds ago and I've already forgotten everything about it, but I have an irrational hatred for Turner's "Your Man." My two least favorite songs in the set and they're matched up against each other. Pick your poison.)

[Ðèstîñy]

I'll vote later tonight.

I don't want to influence the result by choosing who will break the tie.

[Chypmunk]

Might be worth popping a shout up - s'what I usually do and there's always been someone nice enough to settle ties

[NedStark09]

According too my research Swan has not voted this round.

[christine]

Swan why you not voting? :(

[cricket]

Get in here Swan!

[NedStark09]

If Swan does not have time or does not appear by 7Pm I will change my votes If its nessasary.

[NedStark09]

Will Give Miss Swan some more time till 10

[jiraffejustin]

Don't change your votes. That's not fair.

[NedStark09]

Ok Its not like I dont like any of the 4 songs Im just Saying Id be willing too if had to. People all the time change their mind or even do whats best if needed.

[jiraffejustin]

It's okay, Ned. I appreciate your altruism, but I don't think you should do that. It's no big deal if a round takes longer than usual, as long as it eventually gets settled.

[NedStark09]

Oh I get it in other places I have done tournaments but only voted ever if there was a tie. I was just putting it out their is all if need a resolution.

[Swan]

Will Give Miss Swan some more time till 10

Did you just call me "Miss"?

[Swan]

Swan why you not voting? :(

I have strangely not really been into music lately. Some of you know or have realized I'm a man of phases, so that's not unusual. I'm really into horror again right now, and am making the most of that while it lasts.

I actually have a few of them on my DVR right now. Boris Karloff was TCM's "Star of the Day" a few days ago, so I DVRed Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Black Cat and The Body Snatcher, but I haven't watched them yet.

[Swan]

Nice! Frankenstein is a downright classic, I hope you like it. :)

[gbgoodies]

Nice! Frankenstein is a downright classic, I hope you like it. :)


I know the basic story of Frankenstein, and I don't expect it to be gory or graphic like modern horror, so I might like it. I'll post my thoughts in the "Rate the Last Movie You Saw" thread after I watch it.

[Swan]

Universal might be good for you, they are not gory and rely more on atmosphere than anything. Not sure how familiar with them you are.

[gbgoodies]

Universal might be good for you, they are not gory and rely more on atmosphere than anything. Not sure how familiar with them you are.


I think I saw a bunch of the classic Universal Monster movies when I was a kid, but I don't remember them very well. They used to play them on Saturday afternoon TV many years ago. (I think it was called "Chiller Theater", or something like that. I remember the hand coming out of the ground and a guy saying "Chiller" in a very creepy voice.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok6uzndOmPA

But I mostly remember those characters from the "Abbott and Costello Meet the ___" monster movies. :)

Finally found a new favorite in one of these tournaments. I usually don't because I need to hear a song many times before I really warm up to it, and I do recall hearing this in the past. It was probably a pretty big hit, but now I can't stop listening to it and it brings tears to my eyes. I'll vote for it over my own nominations, even my beloved Elvira.

Sturgill is great. He's not just one of my favorite modern country artists, but one of my favorite country artists ever. I highly recommend all three of his albums, his artistic progression is really impressive.

[NedStark09]

Too be honest none of the great legends was loved by nashville Haggard, Willie, Waylon, Cash and even George Jones too a since were looked down upon for some years by the Opry really and thats kinda what ran nashville. A lot of the rebel music came out of Texas and Johnny Cash was good friends with Elvis and did concerts in prison and gave people the finger. I love all classic country but in todays music allot artists were fans of the rebel singers more or less. Just ask Jackson and Strait. and sure they will say Hank Senior or George Jones because its the safe answer but really all country has a touch of Hag and Cash and even Hank Jr now. But lets be honest whats passes as country some of it would make the rebel legends groan.

[jiraffejustin]

Yeah, Nashville has done just as much if not more to hurt country music than it has to benefit it. Most of my favorite country has come from Texas or the Bakersfield sound. Music Row has been killing country for about 30 years or so now. Every now and then a gem will slip through a crack, but in that era, most of the good country has come from outside of Tennessee.

[christine]

Sturgill is great. He's not just one of my favorite modern country artists, but one of my favorite country artists ever. I highly recommend all three of his albums, his artistic progression is really impressive.

I'll listen to them for sure. I love singers with distinctive voices :)

[NedStark09]

Originally the Opry was in Wheeling WV Before it moved too Nashville. A Lot of older singer that were great legends had went to jail or did worse things then Haggard, Cash, Nelson, Jennings and Jones ever could. Take Roy Acuff the leader of the Opry for years he was in prison for some murder.

As you can see, we have a couple of ties. Maybe you guys can nudge some people into voting while I am out today. They can just vote on the ties if they want, but all sets are still open.


I know that 2 people chose not to vote in the first match so it only has 8 votes instead of 10, but how does the 7th match ("Kenny Rogers~Love Will Turn You Around" vs. "Loretta Lynn ft. Jack White - Portland, Oregon") have 11 votes if only 10 people voted? :confused:

[jiraffejustin]

The best explanation is that I made a mistake.

[gbgoodies]

The best explanation is that I made a mistake.


I think the right totals for that match are:

Kenny Rogers~Love Will Turn You Around - 4
Loretta Lynn ft. Jack White - Portland, Oregon - 6

But double-check that because I counted quickly.

[jiraffejustin]

Yeah, that's the score. I must have counted somebody's vote twice on accident.

The problem with your ties is you don't make them easy for people to find. What is tied? Post links.

[NedStark09]

1 Mama Tried.
As if their is even a second doubt. You as Kid Rock can pretend too be Hank Jr all he wants too. But you cannot beat a Haggard Song in my book unless your name is a Cash, or a Jones.

2Till Im Too Old too Die Young.
These choices are too easy so far.

3Cherokee Fiddle
No one is a bigger fan of Rio Bravo and Hawks Westerns then myself and dean Martin is a great singer. Probably a hard decision but Cherokee Fiddle is one of the best Songs on the radio when i was younger so this one is easier then should be.

4The Highwaymen.

5 Me and Tennesee

6 Honky Tonk Heroes

7 Whos Gonna Fill Their Shoes.

8 Island In The Stream
FYI Love Will Turn Me Around Should have Won cleanly its one of his best songs. I like Twains music very well really but this is not her best song to use against this song.

[christine]

1. Kid Rock and Angaleena Presley - Care vs Merle Haggard - Mama Tried - well, both my songs but without a shadow of a doubt Merle kicks those youngsters arses. The other is an interesting song I still think, although more than a little cheesy I will concede. I do like Angaleena tho

2. Chris Knight - In The Mean Time vs Moe Bandy - Till I'm Too Old to Die Young - Chris Knight great voice

3. Johnny Lee~Cherokee Fiddle vs Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson - My Rifle, My Pony and Me - two good songs, but the second has that cool cowboy aura

4. Whitey Morgan and the 78's - Waitin' Round to Die vs Highwayman--The Highwaymen - Whitey - great voice too

5. Gwyneth Paltrow~Coming Home vs Tim McGraw & Gwyneth Paltrow~Me & Tennessee Unconvinced about Gwynnie's voice. I've gone with the second as it has less of her

6. Bill Anderson - Still vs Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes - I love Still. That had to be one of yours GBG, resolutely old fashioned and romantic in a great way.

7. George Strait - The Breath You Take vs George Jones---Whos Gonna Fill Their Shoes I like both of these but the sentiment in The Breath You Take cuts to the quick

8. Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream vs Shania Twain~Forever and for Always - Dont like the Shania song, and Dolly and Kenny are cute together

[mojofilter]

This set is by far the best and most difficult to vote on. A lot of great songs here. My favorites being the songs by Kid Rock, Chris Knight, Tim and Gwyneth, and, of course, my nom Kenny and Dolly.

1. Kid Rock and Angaleena Presley - Care vs Merle Haggard - Mama Tried

2. Chris Knight - In The Mean Time vs Moe Bandy - Till I'm Too Old to Die Young

3. Johnny Lee~Cherokee Fiddle vs Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson - My Rifle, My Pony and Me

4. Whitey Morgan and the 78's - Waitin' Round to Die vs Highwayman--The Highwaymen

5. Gwyneth Paltrow~Coming Home vs Tim McGraw & Gwyneth Paltrow~Me & Tennessee

6. Bill Anderson - Still vs Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes

7. George Strait - The Breath You Take vs George Jones---Whos Gonna Fill Their Shoes

8. Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream vs Shania Twain~Forever and for Always

[gbgoodies]

5. Gwyneth Paltrow~Coming Home vs Tim McGraw & Gwyneth Paltrow~Me & Tennessee - In protest of Gwyneth Paltrow "going country" I don't think I'll vote on this set unless there is a tie.



I thought these were both great songs, and they made me want to watch the movie.

[gbgoodies]

6. Bill Anderson - Still vs Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes - I love Still. That had to be one of yours GBG, resolutely old fashioned and romantic in a great way.



Yes, "Still" was my nom. It's one of my favorite songs. It's sad to see it losing it's match, even if it's losing to the late, great Waylon Jennings. :(

[Captain Spaulding]

1. Kid Rock and Angaleena Presley - Care vs Merle Haggard - Mama Tried
(I don't mind some of Kid Rock's attempts at country, and "Care" is okay. Its heart is in the right place, but like Christine said, the lyrics are pretty cheesy. "Mama Tried" is one of Merle's best.)

2. Chris Knight - In The Mean Time vs Moe Bandy - Till I'm Too Old to Die Young
(I'm not familiar with Chris Knight, but I like this song a lot. There's an edginess to it that I dig.)

3. Johnny Lee - Cherokee Fiddle vs Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson - My Rifle, My Pony and Me
(One of my favorite moments in any movie ever.)

4. Whitey Morgan and the 78's - Waitin' Round to Die vs Highwayman--The Highwaymen
(I've come close to nominating Van Zandt's version of "Waitin' Round to Die" in the past, but I think I like this version even more. It's got that bad-ass outlaw quality I love. Excellent nomination. One of the best songs I've heard in the tournament. I love "Highwaymen," but I've heard it countless times, so I'm pulling for the lesser known song.)

5. Gwyneth Paltrow - Coming Home vs Tim McGraw & Gwyneth Paltrow - Me & Tennessee
(Damn this match-up for reminding me that Country Strong was a thing.)

6. Bill Anderson - Still vs Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes
(I don't blame her for leaving you, Bill.)

7. George Strait - The Breath You Take vs George Jones---Whos Gonna Fill Their Shoes
(I like the sentiment of "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes," but I hate when people nominate music videos that take forever to get to the damn song.)

8. Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream vs Shania Twain - Forever and for Always
(I'm guilty of succumbing to the catchiness of a couple of Shania's hits, but I don't care too much for this particular song. Dolly and Kenny's voices go really well together.)

[jiraffejustin]

I'm in the process of moving to a new house, the meatiest part of the move actually, so I don't know how much I'll be doing on here during the next week.

[NedStark09]

1George Strait
2 Ronnie Milsap
3 Billy Ray Cryus----His Best Song ever. Miley could have songs like this but she thinks she has too sing junk and act out too sell
her music. I think Billy has changed since the old days just too please his family.
4 Soggy Bottum Boya
5 Brooks and Dunn
6 Pass I know Topsy loves Jamie Lynn but I dont think she is as good singer as her sister. I know Britney sings pop but no one ever said she was bad at the genre of music she sings.
7 Sarah Jarosz-- Dont know who she is but thats the blue grass I like.
8 The White Buffalou.

Last set of the first round:

1. Dwight Yoakam - A Thousand Miles From Nowhere vs George Strait - Troubadour

2. Ronnie Milsap~Smokey Mountain Rain vs Johnny Lee - You Could've Heard A Heart Break

3. Billy Ray Cyrus----Some Gave All vs Clint Black~A Better Man (Both great songs. It's a shame that they're up against each other. I could have easily voted the other way.)

4. Soggy Bottom Boys - I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow vs Gretchen Peters - Idlewild

5. The Heavy Horses - Pale Rider vs Brooks and Dunn----Boot Scootin Boogie

6. Uncle Lucius - Keep the Wolves Away vs Jamie Lynn Spears-Miss mississippi

7. Anais Mitchell (feat. Justin Vernon) - Wedding Song vs Sarah Jarosz - Fuel The Fire (I thought both of these songs sounded more like folk music than country music.)

8. Colter Wall - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie vs The White Buffalo - Wish It Was True

[NedStark09]

Sarah song sounded like Blue Grass which have listened too allot of blue grass, but really Folk music was country until folk music met Ernest Tubb , Jim Reeves and the kin himself Hank Williams.

I've been pretty busy over the last week; I've been moving, going to school, getting internet transferred from one place to another, and hosted some family and friends for Labor Day. I haven't neglected y'all though, things have just been moving a little slow is all. The next set is coming soon if my internet holds up, it's been a bit shoddy here at the new place.

I seem to be having a problem connecting to the alternate link, but here's another link you can try:

Hopefully at least one of those two links will work.

Second Round, Third Set:
1. Kenny Rogers - Lucille vs David Allan Coe - She Used To Love Me A Lot - shame these are up against each other as I really like She Used to Love Me a Lot, but Lucille is a class song

2. Merle Haggard - Mama Tried vs John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads - never been mad on John Denver, he's certainly no match for Mama Tried

3. Kathy Mattea----18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses vs Hank Williams Sr. - Move It On Over - this was a hard choice, I'm a big fan of Hank Williams but there's something sweet and old fashioned about a love song for the oldies amongst us. I like it :)

5. Chris Young - Tomorrow vs Brandi Carlile - Turpentine - I like both of these

6. The Statler Brothers - Do You Remember These? vs Don Williams-Tulsa Time Do You Remember These is a fun listen, but it's more of a USA nostalgiafest so I'm voting for Don which is a good song too
7. George Strait - Honky Tonk Crazy vs Emmylou Harris - Wayfaring Strangeranother two good matches

8. Loretta Lynn ft. Jack White - Portland, Oregon vs Richard Buckner - Blue and Wonder - I like both, but I love the thought of the old girl rocking out :D

I am so busy right now, I just don't think I can keep this going. It's already been six days since my last post in here, but it only feels like a couple. I'm putting this tournament on hiatus for now. Maybe I'll open it up as soon as I have more free time.

[NedStark09]

What Do You Have Left as of songs And I will Do Two rounds in your stead or finish this up for you.

[jiraffejustin]

The winners of this set plus the following:

Mel McDaniel - Stand Up
Billy Joe Shaver ft. Willie Nelson - Hard to Be an Outlaw
The Oak Ridge Boys - Elvira
Ernest Tubb - Thanks A Lot
Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free

Kris Kristofferson - Border Lord
Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

[NedStark09]

well send me the sons for the next set. or rather the list.

[mojofilter]

jj, are you still alive?

[Camo]

JJ said this in the movie tournament - http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?p=1587792#post1587792

I'm guessing it applies here as well he probably just forgot to say.

[mojofilter]

I honestly lost interest in this tourney, but I'll have to stick around 'til the end. I just want it to end.
Hopefully JJ puts us out of our misery soon.

[jiraffejustin]

Yeah, I said I am putting this on ice. Ned said he'd finish it, so I gave him a list of the songs left. All he'd have to do is tabulate the winner of the last round. Those songs plus the ones I listed are the ones that haven't been eliminated.

[NedStark09]

Well Send the list for the next one after you figure out this last round.

[Ðèstîñy]

Of course I'm the only person digging this. It's as slow as I am, if not worse. IIIIIII like it!!! ;)

[Camo]

Well Send the list for the next one after you figure out this last round.

Use random.com or whatever yourself to figure out the matches.

If you want send me the list of songs JJ sent you and i'll give you the next matches to post.

[Camo]

The winners of that round:

Kenny Rogers - Lucille vs Merle Haggard
Kathy Mattea----18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses
Brandi Carlile - Turpentine
Emmylou Harris - Wayfaring Stranger
Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson - My Rifle, My Pony and Me
Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream


And the scores in case anyone wants to double check them:

1. Kenny Rogers - Lucille vs Merle Haggard 7 - Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star 1

2. Kathy Mattea----18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses 5 vs Josh Turner - Your Man 3

3. Brandi Carlile - Turpentine 5 vs Don Williams-Tulsa Time 3

4. Emmylou Harris - Wayfaring Stranger 6 vs Loretta Lynn ft. Jack White - Portland, Oregon 2

5. Merle Haggard - Mama Tried 2 vs Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson - My Rifle, My Pony and Me 6

6. Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes 3 vs Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream 5

7. Ronnie Milsap~Smokey Mountain Rain 4 vs Gretchen Peters - Idlewild 4

8. Uncle Lucius - Keep the Wolves Away 3 vs The White Buffalo - Wish It Was True 3

Two Ties coincidentally the last two, i'll break them if you guys want?

For the record the reason some of the scores are uneven is because a surprising amount of people decided not to vote in one or two matches for whatever reason.

[Chypmunk]

Break dem ties Camo - break dem!!

[Camo]

If Ned sends me the songs JJ sent him i'll run this if you want. I didn't join it so all i'd have to do is count you guys votes and post the matches.
