Some may say nothing Country is Beach Music. We have had a lot of songs recorded by Country Music Artists that have done well in the beach music clubs and lounges. Some have made the beach music charts. Take “Barefootin'” by Scotty Mcreery. It has held a top spot on the Surf Countdown all year. Artists like Scotty and Josh Turner have had hit songs with the beach music community. Artists we typically claim as Beach Music have been able to crossover to the country side. The Down South album by Jim Quick has a lot of Country Music Influence.
Enter Donavon Lee Carpenter
Our 3 Word Beach Music Song posts reached a new audience yesterday with Donavon Lee’s Fan Base. We received a lot of requests to add his song “Another Beach Song” to our list of beach Songs. Maybe Mike Worley will play his song along with some other “Country” Beach Music Songs.
So the Question Today…
Jay Kinlaw said, “Lots of the older country hits are still awesome shag songs like, ‘The Wanderer’, by Eddie Rabbitt, ‘I Feel Lucky’, by Mary Chapin Carpenter, ‘In A Letter To You’, by Eddy Raven, and a personal favorite that always does well on the floor, ‘Fresh Coat Of Paint’, by Lee Roy Parnell. I could go on, but I’ll stop here!!!”
Butch Halpin Said, “Live Close By, Visit Often – KT Oslin… Just Got Started Lovin You – James Otto, Love Done Gone – Billy Currington….. Country songs made beach hits by beach bands include Baby’s Got My Number originally by South Sixty Five, 3935 West End Ave by Mason Dixon and New Old Songs by Neal McCoy.”
Bob Clay said, ” Here’s a few: “Some Beach” – Blake Shelton, “Dancin’ Shaggin’ On The Boulevard” – Alabama, “When The Sun Goes Down” – Kenny Chesney.”
Jim Morgan said, “Baby Don’t Go by Sheryl Crow and Dwight Yoakam might qualify as country, but it’s a great shag song!”
Harold Ballard said, ““Me and Maxine”, Sammy Kershaw”
