Dancing Naked in Dixie Top Ten Playlist
There's nothing like a little music to get a party started,
and there's plenty to celebrate in Dancing Naked in Dixie.
From sultry slow-burns to five-alarm infernos, there's a
song for every situation in the story--and I think that my Top Ten fits
perfectly! So, grab this playlist, turn up the volume, and cozy up with a copy
of Dancing Naked in Dixie to enjoy this countdown of seductive,
heart-pounding, pulse-racing, blood-pumping songs.
DIXIE TOP TEN Playlist
1. Montgomery Gentry - My Town - Showcases the
true pride people feel about their hometown. This song is so raw, honest, and
heartfelt.
2. Zac Brown Band - Chicken Fried - There is
nothing like the harmony on this song and the funky, funny lyrics that explain
what Southerners love about the South.
3. Thompson Square - Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not? - Another great song by a girl-guy duo. It's all about the heady anticipation of
a first kiss -- great stuff! Thompson Square has toured with Macon,
Georgia's Jason Aldean.
4. Sugarland a/Matt Nathanson - Run - Did you see
this video from the 2011 CMA Awards? Amazing performance, amazing song. Great
Chemistry between MN and Jennifer Nettles.
You turn, turn, turn, turning me on
Like a slow fire burn
I know that it's wrong
Still I run, run, run, run right into you
5. Lady Antebellum - Just a Kiss - This makes me
think about Shug and Julia ... with her leaving to go back to New York ... and
both of them wrestling with admitting that they are "right" for each
other.
6. The Band Perry - All Your Life - Everyone's
heard "If I Die Young," but All Your Life is all about what
people do for love. So romantic. The lyrics talk about "I don't want the
whole world ... I just want to be the only girl you love all your life."
7. Blake Shelton - Drink On It - Okay, I included
this one because Blake Shelton is awfully cute and I loved hearing him joke
around on The Voice. The lyrics are adorable and have that sexy suggestion
of getting together ... later.
8. Keith Urban - Somebody Like You - I had a hard
time choosing from all of his great songs. I've seen Keith Urban in concert and
he is so talented.
9. Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson - Don't You Want
to Stay - I've loved Jason Aldean since he came onto the music scene a few
years ago. He's best known for his country-rock songs, but his ballads are
lovely and ache with feeling. Kelly Clarkson, of course, has a fabulous voice.
Performed at the 2012 CMAs.
10. Lynyrd Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama - You
can't get any better Southern Rock than this. You just can't.
What do you think? Any other great Southern songs to include
on the DIXIE soundtrack?
This is such a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Samantha! I loved coming up with the list ... and I spent Waaaay too much time on iTunes searching for that PERFECT TEN! (Oh, I wish that I could sing ... sigh ... only in the car with the radio turned up all the way and it's usually to Bon Jovi because my two boys love "Livin on a Prayer") LOL
ReplyDeletexx,
Thank you Kaley - I adore all sorts of music and for a very brief stint worked as a country music DJ ... It was for a station nicknamed "Froggy97" and my handle/name was Cricket. LOL. Everyone had frog-related names :) It was then I developed a love for country music. I don't care for anything too twang-y, but those songwriters can really tell a story!!!
ReplyDeletexx, Lauren
