Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hey, everybody, it's Bobby Bones. It's now time for the
ten greatest country duets of all time, wearing a cowboy
hat again for another week. For those that only watch
this show, maybe you've just tuned into this and you're like,
look at this cowboy doing this show. I never wear
a cowboy hat ever in my whole life, but when
(00:29):
I do a country music list, I think I'm gonna
wear a cowboy hat. So just know though that there's
no belt buckle on this waste. I'm not a cowboy.
I was very much a trailer trash. There's like two
kinds of country music. There's like cowboys and there's like
trailer trash. I was more on the trailer trash side
growing up. So we're gonna do this list. And I
(00:49):
would also like to say that this cowboy hat here
is when I got out of the store, I was
planning on wearing a black, very slick, I would say,
fashion forward cowboy hat that was gifted to me by
Tim McGraw about six years ago. He brought me a
cowboy hat and I said, well, that's very nice of you.
In my head, I thought, but I don't wear cowboy hats.
(01:12):
And he said, no, I want you to have this
because this was the hat that I wore for half
of my Vegas residency shows with Faith Hill, because Tim
and Faith did an entire Vegas residency to sold A
Soul Tour residency where they sang together, and he wore
that black cowboy hat specifically for half of those shows,
(01:33):
and he gave it to me, and I wanted to
wear it today. I lost it. Sucks. I looked everywhere,
I looked all through the house, I went back, and
I have a studio on my property where we live.
Can't find it. I'm distraught because I cannot find the
Tim McGraw gifted worn sold a Soul Black Amazing Cowboy hat.
(02:01):
And I bring that up because Tim and Faith one
of the greatest country duo duets of all time, and
maybe they make the list here, but let's get started.
The top ten country duets of all time, according to me,
Bobby Bones at number ten, We're going to start with
Johnny and June. That's right, not John Cleaver or June Cleaver.
(02:22):
Does it makes sense? I guess it's word Cleaver and
leave it to Beaver. But Johnny Cash and June Carter
Cash one thing I didn't know is that they didn't
actually write Jackson, which is a song we're talking about here.
I'm going to Jackson little knowledge for you. The song
was written by Billy ed Wheeler and Jerry Lieber, and
not only did they not write it, they weren't the
(02:45):
first to record it either. Billy ed Wheeler recorded it
himself and kind of had a hit with it back
in the day. And then after that, Nancy Sinatra and
Lee Hazelwood cut a version of it that one reached
top twenty on the chart in nineteen sixty seven. And
so there we go. You have two artists that released it.
Johnny and June then put it out and bam, it
(03:06):
became a massive hit. And so most people also assume
Jackson Mississippi also not the truth. It's like the Simpsons Springfield.
They never actually say which Springfield the Simpsons live in.
They purposely did not say which Jackson that they're singing about.
(03:27):
So I'm not even talking about Johnny and June. The
writers didn't and the song is timeless. It got famous
again whenever Joaquin Phoenix and Rees Wetherspoon did walk the line.
Great movie. It's also rare when actors can really encapsulate
people that are known for a certain singing style and
(03:47):
visual style and do them really close and not seen corny.
But that movie made the song popular again. And they're
not singing about how much they love each other. That's
what's cool about this song. They're actually singing about how
annoyed they are with each other. Other people knew that
they were actually in love in real life whenever they
recorded this song, so it came across as pretty charming
(04:07):
instead of toxic. So at number ten on my list,
it's Johnny and June with Jackson. At number nine on
the list is Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
to be cowboys. It's Willy and Whalen. Think of that song.
You think of Willy and Whalen. But they were not
the first people to actually record the song. So it
was written by Ed Bruce and Patsy Bruce. They wrote
(04:29):
it Ed recorded it in nineteen seventy five. It was
a top twenty song just by itself with one of
the writers singing it. Then Waylon and Willie got involved. Now,
the thing about this song that I think a lot
of people misunderstand is this song is not about hating cowboys.
It's actually the opposite. Like it was written because there
(04:51):
was the understanding of how lonely and difficult the cowboy
lifestyle could be, and so the writers wanted to capture
the sacrifices that came with it, and that's what the
song does. But I think a lot of people confuse
the song with a song where it's like, don't let
them be cowboys because the cowboys suck. That is not
it at all. Now. Whaling and Willie eventually recorded their version,
(05:13):
not just because they found the song that thought, hey,
this would be a good one. It was actually for
the movie soundtrack, The Electric Horseman that had Robert Redford
and Jane Fonda. And then that's the version that everybody remembers.
But when I say everybody, I guess I mean everybody alive,
and even now, I think you gotta be kind of
older to remember that song. But at number nine on
my list of the Greatest duets, Whalen and Willie Mamas,
(05:37):
don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. That's Willy.
At number eight on my list, Brooks and Dunn and
Reba Cowgirls don't cry. I might cry just talking about
this song. I love this song. I don't cry very often,
and it's not a masculinity thing. I don't think if
(06:01):
I cry, I'm not going to be a man or
of a vulnerability thing. I don't cry a lot. If
I do cry, usually it's you know, a devastating Arkansas
Razorbacks football loss, or somebody near me cutting onions. But
this one here nails me in the nads every single time.
(06:21):
So if you're not familiar with Cowgirls Don't Cry, the
lyrics basically follow one woman in her story through childhood,
being a kid, through marriage, heartbreak. Oh and there's a
big twist at the end. This to me is like
the saddest song ever. It's not just one of the
greatest duets. It's like one of the saddest songs ever
(06:43):
that has a ton of love in it because at
the end it's about the death of her father and
he's telling her the whole time, Hey, you're a kid,
like you, fall off the horse, get back up. Cowgirls
don't cry, Marriage doesn't work out, heart's broken, Hey all right,
Cowgirls don't Cry. And then at the end he's dying.
(07:06):
The dad's dying on the phone with his daughter and
he's like Hey, yeah, this sucks, but cowgirls don't cry
and you're like, oh my god. The interesting thing about
this song, if I can be song nerdy for a second,
is how they used riba in this song. Because the
(07:27):
song is just a heart ripouter anyway. But most times
you do a duet, you trade versus back and forth.
That did not happen in this song. Reba doesn't even
show up until that emotional final chorus, and because you've
waited so long to either hear her voice or you
don't know her voice is coming, when she sings, it's
(07:48):
like she's the woman in the song, and so it
hits that much harder. The idea for the song originally
started when Ronnie Dunn, who's the lead singer of Brooks
and Dune, and Terry McBride, who they write a lot together,
but also he's from McBride and The Ride. They were
talking about Reba's rodeo upbringing and how tough her dad
(08:08):
was on her, and Ronnie Dunn had also seen a
shirt at the Iowa State Fair that said cowgirls Don't
Cry and couldn't stop thinking about it, and so that's
the genesis of that song, right there. Something else that
I did not know, because I think this is one
of the greatest country songs ever. Is that it initially
was released as just a Brooks and Dune song. Only
(08:32):
after it was already out on a record did they
go back and record it with Riba and Man when
they did, I'm telling you it gives me bumps on
my arms because that is an emotional song. Holy crap.
So if you don't know the song, go and stream it.
Cowgirls Don't Cry. Brooks and Done and Riba at number
(08:54):
eight on My Greatest Duets of All Time nob' seveln
here on the countdown. This is one of my favorite songs,
and a little bit I had to take my personal
opinion and just slow, just slow and slightly moving back
because again, these are my favorite songs, but also in
my head like I feel like these are the greatest
duets of all time. But this song You Went Tequila
(09:16):
by Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter, I just think it's
one of the best songs ever. You have Tequila make
me crazy. It is so good. This is my favorite
kind of Kenny Chesney and I told him this it's
not beach Kenny. I don't give a crap about the beach.
I don't like the ocean. I don't like the sun,
I don't like the salt. I don't like any of
(09:36):
that crap at the beach. I don't like Florida beaches.
I don't like golf beaches. I don't like California beaches.
I'm out, don't like the beach. Don't only love Kenny
Beach love Emo Kenny, Emo, Kenny is awesome. I like
sad Kenny. I'll pass on everybody, grab a drink and
go to the sandbar. Kenny not really for me. This
(09:57):
song is the ultimate what I love about Kenny Chesney.
It's an emotional song and they didn't really know each other.
So what's crazy about this? I got a couple of things.
Number One, A lot of people didn't know that Kenny
was not the first person to cut this song. It
was written by matrasa Berg and Dina Carter, the same
Dina Carter they did Strawberry Wine. Man. I nailed that.
(10:21):
Dina recorded it back in two thousand and three and
Kenny heard her sing it while they were touring together
when she was opening for Kenny, and he always loved
the song, and so he knew he loved it and
he just kind of waited it didn't become a big
hit for Dina Carter, and Kenny was like, hey, can
I cut that song? And so he did. And they
didn't really even know each other, Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter,
(10:43):
they were not friends. He was just thinking, man, she'd
be perfect for the song. They recorded it. I mean
they became friends from that and then recorded I Believe
wild Child after that, which ended up being a great
song as well. And for all of Kenny's number ones,
and I counted yesterday, he has nine hundred and thirteen,
this song only reached number three. I think it's Kenny
(11:05):
Jesney's best song. I think, like, what else would I
even put there at number one? I think this is
his number one song. To me, this is a great
example of a song becoming bigger in time than its
chart position was when it actually was moving up a chart.
So at number seven on my list, it's Kenny and
(11:25):
Grace with you and Tequila.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Hank Tight The Bobby Cast will be right back, and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
At number six, Jason Aldi and Kelly clarkson don't you
want to Stay? Don't You want to stay a little whole.
That's a jam. I wasn't even in country music when
this song came out. I had a couple phases of
my life, my growing up phase from I come ripping
out of my momth edge until about fourteen or fifteen
(12:07):
hardcore country music, and then really started to get into
alternative music, you know, and like the two thousand and
eight to two thousand eighteen, I's kind of checked out
a country music. One. I felt like it's a bit repetitive,
and two I was working fully in pop and hip hop,
and so I was out. This song was so good
(12:31):
it was kind of like I maybe I'm back in,
And so it exploded really because of a single performance.
Jason Alden and Kelly Clarkson performed this song the twenty
ten CMA Awards. The reaction was so strong from the
performance that radio stations just started adding it, like Okay,
we're just gonna play the song. A lot of people
point to that night as the exact moment that that
(12:52):
song became a hit. Now officially it wasn't a hit
till it hit number one, but that was the night
that everyone said this thing wrong. It also gave Kelly
Clarkson her first number one country song, which makes sense
because even though she was a giant pop star, she
was still a Texas girl who when she talked, she
sounded like a Texas girl, and she still connected with
(13:15):
people that listen to country music. Another thing that's pretty
easy to forget here is that song lived on the
same album as My Kind Of Party and Dirt Road Anthem.
Like a lot of artists would be thrilled to just
have one career defining song on an album, Jason Alden
had three on that record. I mean, this is full
wallet chain al Dean right here. And so that's why
(13:37):
a lot of people view My Kind Of Party as
the album that elevated him from silver wallet chain to
gold wallet chain. That's right. That song was awesome, still
is awesome at number six. Don't you want to stay
at number five? And this song wasn't even a country
song until welp, it just was. And that's Kiderock and
Sheryl Crow. Picture what a freaking jam this was. Also,
(14:02):
this may be the most over karaokeed song as far
as duets go, in American karaoke history. Every time I
hear it at karaoke, one person thinks they're Cheryl Crow.
The other person sounds like they're kid Rock after a
head injury. That's what this song is like as it's
being karaoke. But I love it. And also if you
(14:26):
sing this song karaoke and one of the people are good,
you'll bloys get a standing ovation. Fun fact about this song,
the original version featured Alison Moore, not Cheryl Crow. That's
the one that appeared on the album. It was Kid
Rock and Alison Moore. The song started to gain traction
on pop radio stations with the Cheryl Crow version. And
(14:46):
now remember because I was one of them, I couldn't
get enough of it. Something unusual then happened, especially because
Cheryl Crow not a country artist. Kid Rock definitely wasn't
a country artist that he was still bab Wood of Baw.
He was still devil without a cause guy. But country
stations were like this sonically makes sense, the story of
it makes sense, so why don't we give it a run?
(15:10):
And every format kind of claimed it as their own.
It was one of those weird songs where rock stations
liked it and kid rock guy pop stations liked it.
There's Sheryl Crow who had a ton of pop success.
Country fans liked it because it sounded like a really
great country song, and bars that had a microphone after
(15:31):
ten pm loved it because everybody wanted to come in
and sing it terribly. The crossover worked. It eventually became
a top five song and still remains one of my
personal favorite duets of all time. Man, what a jam
that was? Every song now, I'm just gonna go, what
a jam that was? Number four? Does he love You?
(15:53):
Does he love You? I'm talking about Reba and Linda Davis.
This song set out around Nashville for nearly a decade
before somebody recorded it. Songwriters Sandy Knox and Billy Stritch
wrote it back in the eighties, and there are people
that flirted with it. There's something in town called a
(16:15):
hold where if an artist likes it and they go,
I think I want to cut that, they can put
it on hold so no one else can get it.
Let's put it on hold a bunch of times. But
nobody wanted to cut it, mostly because it was like
a two woman dual duet, which now it makes sense
because this song just crushed. And now there have been
a couple since as well, big ones, but at the time,
(16:37):
it was all male female at least for the most part,
and Linda Davis wasn't originally supposed to be RIBA's duet partner.
And I talked to Riba about this because I thought,
maybe this is just some Wikipedia crap that people write.
But Riba initially wanted another major female star, and you know,
there are stories about who she tried to get, if
(16:59):
it was Dolly, if it was insert person here. But
as Riba told me, scheduling and label politics got in
the way because there are certain times you can release
songs certain people don't want if they have a single out,
another song to exist and be a single for someone else.
There were just a lot more rules back in the
day than there are today. So what did she do.
She turned to the person that sang in her band
(17:20):
every night background for her, Linda Davis. Fun fact, Hillary
Scott from Lady A's Mom, and so Linda was singing
harmony in her road band and it just so happened.
That's how it worked out, and it was such a
great decision that the music video is what I remember
them in the dresses the fog does He Love You?
(17:43):
The song was great, but the music video around this
time was really making songs transcendent, like if you nailed
the video and this song was good, like it just
left an imprint in people's mind. So in the nineties
when this song hit, CMT and TNN were both massive,
and so people weren't just hearing about the conference between
the wife and the mistress. They were seeing it and
it was really cool. And I think the visual element
(18:05):
helped the song, because man, that's always awesome, all right.
Number three, It's Your Love, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
If you went to a junior high dance when this
song was hidden, it's about the only thing that got
a girl to dance with you. That song would start now,
(18:30):
and you knew you had about three minutes and thirty
eight seconds to go and find a girl to dance
with you for about a minute and twenty seconds of
the back end of the song, because it took that
long to work up the courage. The interesting thing about
this song is that it was written by just one person.
In Nashville, co writes are such a thing that their
(18:52):
most songs. Rarely are there songs that are just written
by one person that ends up being a massive hit.
Stephanie Smith wrote this song all by herself, which again
it's pretty uncommon. Another reason the song felt so authentic
is because it actually was. When they were shooting the
video to this, Faith was pregnant with their first daughter, Gracie,
(19:14):
and instead of trying to hide that, they just embraced it.
And I think that's probably why the chemistry if you've
seen the video, I think that's why it feels so real,
is because it was. And man, what a jam that was.
And I wish I had the hat, So I'm upset
I don't have the hat because I wanted to tell
the story of that song and then go, I'm wearing
the hat. But now we're in this stupid thing I
(19:35):
got from Walmart. Anyway, shout out Walmart.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome back to
the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Number two Island's in the Stream Dolly and Kenny. This
is probably the biggest country duet that almost never happened.
Fun fact, the Begis wrote the song, not just one Beiji,
all the Bege's, and they did not write it as
a country song. Depending on which interview you read, they
(20:15):
originally thought Diana Ross or Marvin Gay and it was
going to be an R and B or a soul record.
Kenny Rogers later said that he got frustrated trying to
record this song whenever he decided to take it, because
it just didn't feel like a solo song. Because he tried,
he did not think it was working, so they wrote it.
(20:36):
They didn't have success with it, so they wrote it
for other artists. The other artists really didn't have success
with it, not enough to cut it, and so finally
Kenny cuts it. He did not have success with it
and almost just threw it all away. And then one
of the epic Nashville things happens about every Tuesday here
in town, where there's just an artist nearby at a
(20:57):
building nearby, and you call him and they come over
and sing on some thinking all of a sudden it
kind of works out. That's what happened here. Kenny's recording
the song. Dolly Parton happened to be nearby. He says, hey,
would you come over and try to sing some of
this with me? She physically was in the proximity of
Kenny Rodgers and said yes, So she goes over and
(21:18):
sings it as a duet. The rest is history. The
song reached number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred,
number one in the country chart, number one on the
AC chart. I think about that. The country chart makes sense.
The Hot AC chart, that's like slightly older, softer pop music.
I think the Googoo Dolls, Now, that's where that would
(21:40):
live on a Hot AC chart. Think Lisa Lobe, that's
where that would live. So it was on that chart too.
And then the Billboard Hot one hundred is the pop chart.
It's the straight up pop chart. All charts together. This
song was a monster. It knocked out Bonnie Tyler's total
eclipse of the Heart turn Around every now and Then
I Am Now, I'm a newman now. That was the
(22:03):
number one song until Islands in the Stream from Kenny
and Dolly hit October twenty ninth, nineteen eighty three. One
of the most emotional moments of Kenny Rodgers' final concert
in twenty seventeen was Dolly coming out and singing it
with him one last time. That's pretty cool. Think about that.
The biggest country duet ever was written by the Beg's,
(22:27):
inspired by Hemingway. The writer originally was intended to be
an R and B record and nearly got thrown away,
except for Dolly was one hundred feet away. That's a
pretty cool story. Number one. Think about it. I've done
nine nine dominant duets. What is the number one greatest
(22:51):
country duet of all time? Sad song? It's some recently
news song, Brandon, You will take a guess. Do you
think you know it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's got it?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
He got it. It is Whiskey Lullaby from Brad Paisley
and Alison Kraus. Holy crap. I don't know if this
is as much an emotional duet as it is a
hostage situation. That's almost what it feels like like within himself,
but also like sonically, Whiskey Lullaby sounds peaceful, just the
(23:30):
title Whiskey Lullaby. It sounds comforting, But the lullaby and
the title actually means death, and that's what makes the
song so haunting. Written by John Randall and Bill Anderson,
the central image of this song came from something that
John Randall's manager told him, something along the lines of
(23:51):
I'm gonna paraphrase here, every time you put that bottle
to your head, you are pulling the trigger. And that's
the foundation of that entire song. What's amazing is that
despite being considered one of the greatest country songs in
the last twenty five years, it only reached number three
on the chart, where there were like four more on
(24:14):
program directors at country stations that wouldn't move the song
to number one, and it kept it from being number one.
This is one of the greatest country songs of all time.
The Nashville songwriting community knew how great it was, the
artist knew how great it was. Whenever it was time
to vote for the CMAS it won Song of the Year,
(24:36):
which it should have, which is the most prestigious songwriting
award in Nashville. And these years later, if I played
that song for somebody who doesn't know the song, they're like, Dann,
that is a good song. And Brad Paisley was known
as a great guitar player and a guy who made
hits and a guy who did funny ish stuff like quirky.
(24:57):
This launched him to a whole other level and gave
him a new amount of respect as well, because this
was a serious song. And Alison Kraus, if you knew bluegrass,
you knew her and she would cross over just a
little bit. But this song put her on the map
of even country casuals. That's why it's my number one
country duet of all time because it freaking rocks. Put
(25:21):
that bottles in and pulled trigger, and that's my number
one of all time country duets.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Hang tight, The Bobby Cast will be right back, and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Okay, So we just finished the version that Netflix saw
of my greatest country Duets of all time. Eddie did
not see it. You did not hear it?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
This is my favorite part because when I say greatest
country duets of all time? What would be your number one?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
So duets would be a song that someone did together?
Or would it be like Brooks and Dunn that's a duo.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
That's not a duet. Yeah, it's like two different artists.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
I honestly didn't know if it was like a duo.
Was the male version of two artists and the duets
the female version?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
No, okay, it's two different entities performing together. Because if
let's say Little Big Town and the Backstreet Boys did
a song together, that'd be a duet. It doesn't really matter.
A Little Big Town's one Backstreet Boys or the other,
or it could be one and one people.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Let me ask you, if there's three people on there,
what is it? Is it a duet?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah? Love? It? Are two of them in a group?
One single group? No? Oh, I think that would be
a true I don't know a trio. I don't know
what that would be, actually, because.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
My favorite would be Highway Don't Care? Is which is
tim Ac Grath, Taylor Swift and Keith Urvan.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I did the Demon talk ten?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Love that one?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Bye? I don't think Keith urban Ever sings.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, he plays the guitar.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
That's not that's not a three. Then that's just a
two with a feature.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Okay, Then that's Tim, Tim and Taylor.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Of all of yours of all time, that's your favorite?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I love that one? And then I love what's the
Maren Morris and Dirk Spanley one? His phone lights up
in the dark. I don't want to be a lot dude.
That one is so good. One of my favorites of
all time.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I can't judge yours because this is a tasting. I'm
surprised both of yours are so new.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, I mean I think of the older ones like
I feel like, I mean, I'm sure Garth and Trisha
had one right.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
They did and and I think it made my list.
It was close, but it didn't make my list.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
No, I know which one.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Your number one is garthan Tricia's was in another's eyes, I.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Believe, And there's a that's a good one too.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
They may have done more than that, but I think
that's probably the one you're referring to. They didn't make
my list. This is a hard list to make.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Your I know your number one, your number one is uh.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I'm not sure you do. Oh, you probably know a
couple in my top three, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Dang, you're right, I'm kind of between two for your
number one.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
It's going to be one of those two.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Then, okay, but I have Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter,
which song, Oh man, but oh gosh, you and Tequila.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You and Tequila make me crazy. So it isn't my
top ten. Okay, So that's like, personally, it's one of
my favorite songs ever. But I had did not just
do my personal taste. It was a mixture. My personal
taste is a mixture of how long the song stayed
cool to people, how big it was You and Tequila's
that nuber was at number seven on the list. I
just did oh way love the song. It's higher than
(28:54):
that in my all time favorite country songs of all time,
but as a duet that was number seven.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Okay, Your number one then definitely is Brad Paisley and
Alison Cross Whiskey Whisky. You've loved that one forever.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's such a great song. And then you know, put
the bottle against his head and pulled the trigger, which
is just drinking. He keeps drinking and kill himself by drinking.
He does.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Oh, I have another one that's on your list. I
think that George Jones. And is it George Jones or
Conway Twitty? Which is the one you ugly? You make
Conway Twitty? Is that on your list?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
You're the reason our kids are ugly, some of the
reason our kids are ugly. Little darling.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Wow, that didn't make your list.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It didn't a great one.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Oh tell me tell me that will and Nelson and
Julio Iglesia has made your list.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
No, but Willie did make the list with whal on
Mama's don't let your babies dude, good pick at number nine, Mama,
don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys? And
what I talked about was how people thought that was
an anti cowboys song, but it was mostly a respect song.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, like here's why being a cowboys so hard.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, cow and cowboys don't really love. Like it's it's hard.
It's hard to love a cowboy because that's a hard job.
It's hard on them. So I didn't do William Julio.
Yeah we did that for Halloween one. Yeah, it's like
losers bar and I was Willian.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You or Julio?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Yeah, man, that was funny.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
What else you got? It comes to mind? Yours your top?
Don't guess mine?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Okay, man, I've I'm trying to think of like fun ones,
you know, like you're the reason our kids are ugly?
Is fun?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Right? Uh?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
What about?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Man?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Trying to think.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
There's a fun one? At ten on my list as
a married couple, And mostly this one was because they
were kind of picketing each of them's song. That's why
it was fun.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
M I immediately went to Tim and Faith.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
That did make my list. But now, yeah, that's a
good one too. That's a love it's your Oh dude,
that's got to be mine.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
That's so good.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, Married Pitcher Love to Me was at number three, Okay,
this is the oldest one on the list.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
What do you mean, like that old married couple.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
No, the oldest song on the list was this one.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh oh yeah, dude, Jackson. Mm hmm, that's a great one.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
It was at number ten and so Johnny or June.
They didn't write Jackson. It was actually released multiple times. Really,
somebody else had to hit with it too before they did.
And the funny thing was that I had mentioned earlier,
was that song it's not about Jackson, Tennessee. It's not
or Jacksonsissippi. Oh.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I always thought it was because, like you know, when
you drive from Texas to Tennessee, drive through Jackson all
the time.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It's the same reason that the Simpsons do Springfield. There
are so many they just didn't because they didn't write
the song that they just wanted it to be generic.
And there's a lot of Jackson.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I liked that song.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Your favorite of all time is favorite duet?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, man, I might have to go mamas, don't let
your babies grow up to be cowboys? Like I love
that song. I know there's some really good ones I'm
missing out on.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Reaging my list. Tell me if anything comes up after
our regional list at ten, Jackson at nine, Mamas at
number eight, which is the most emotional song maybe that
I've ever heard of my whole life is Cowgirls Don't Cry? Oh,
why that one's crazy because it's Brooks and unn in
riba is that it's not a traditional duet rieba. It
just comes into the very end and she's a daughter
now whose dad's dying. Yeah, Oh that's a crazy one. Uh.
(32:43):
Seven was You and Tequila? Six was Don't You Want
to Stay? Aldeana Kelly Clarkson. Oh that's such a good
oneted chorus is so good? Number five picture of kidder
Rock and Cheryl Crowe. That one makes me laugh because
I feel like that's kind of funny too. Neither one
of them were a country artists.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yeah, yeah, it's just a funny combination of two people.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
What a jam and she cherykro wasn't the original artist
on the album like.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Somebody else sang it? Is it somebody famous or just
like a female voice.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Alison Moore, I don't know, don't know who that is.
Does He Love You? Number four?
Speaker 3 (33:19):
It's another one I just thought of.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Does He Love You? Which Linda Davis, Uh, it'scher loved
three Islands in the Stream at two.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Oh dude, how did I forget that one?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Whiskey Lullaby one?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, that's a really good list.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Anything else come to mind? Because I just wanted to
run it by you and see where you would go.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Man' there there was there was one that I loved.
There's a Clint Black one that we talked about recently. Yeah,
him and his wife Alisa Hartman. And that's not the
one I was thinking of. It was wy Nona and
Clint Black, which I loved, but I did. It was
one of those that I listened to so many times
when I was younger, and then haven't listened to that
in forever. So I don't remember what it's called. It's
(33:58):
like last good Bye or something or sad goodbye, bad goodbye,
bad goodbye.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
How does that go?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I couldn't even tell you. I couldn't even tell you
how it goes. But I remember the harmonies between and
the voices like mixed together of Clint Blacks and why
not As were just so good. And then the song
starts like very slow.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
I can't play much of it.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Oh yeah, dude, I know, Yeah, of course it starts
so slow, and then by the last chorus, they're like
Pavarotti style going, yeah you remember the song?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, it goes good it guess I'm goodbye. Easier said, y, Yeah,
that's a good one. I don't even think about that one.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I don't even know if it was like a number
one ever or what, but it was just a song
that stuck out to me when I was I don't know,
sixteen years old.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Man, that was a good one. Easy say. I can't
I can't even hit that. I can't get in the
key up.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Dude, even when they go in the very end, it's
like and good bad? Did they hit it so hard?
It's so good?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, that one never even popped up because I try
not to go to Google and go give me ten duets.
I racked my brain for the ones, and I think
had that popped up, I would have for sure at
least put that in honorable mention because that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Is there anything we're forgetting?
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Um? Oh?
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Oh? Do what am I thinking?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
But five o'clock somewhere not my vibe. I love that one.
Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett, come on. I did think
of the if you see Him, if you See Her,
because I think that's Riba with Brooks and Done instead
of Brooks and Down with Riba. Oh okay, if you no,
I'm not doing Lendon Davis if you see him, if
you see her. That beer from a Horses was another
(35:50):
willing one that.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
I can see.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Willy and Toby so good, which is a good one. Yes,
that was an honorable mention half of my hometown with
and Kelsey. But it was too new and it was
just good.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
That was a good one.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
What do you mean, oh, dude, well you.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Know what a new one that's really good? Riley Green
and Ella Langley.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Not really for me? Which one they both want awards?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Uh? I mean it's the excuse.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Oh, that'd be the better one. Dude.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
That's so good.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The Fighter with Urban and Carrie, which is fun. It
wouldn't be one of the top ones ever, that's.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
A good one.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
What if I.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Let you go?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
What if? Fuck no? And I'm sure that people are
listening to going. I can't believe you're not picking this one.
But yeah, those were the ones that I had on there.
What about the one that I didn't put because I
didn't feel like it was the true representation of the
song Shanaia did from this moment, from this moment. But
(36:52):
the country version had Brian White on it.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Oh okay, so was he the original artist for that
with her?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
So that was it? Her song with him got it,
I'm almost positive and went pop. They took him off
of it. So that would have been something.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Man, that sucks. What when it goes pop? They take
him off?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I mean country, but I mean, like the song already existed,
why not just keep him on? But I get it,
it's business for agreements. You didn't read the books. You
can't quote the book.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
But you said it so many times I feel like
I can.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I didn't read it.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Hey, man, it's like the book. I've read four agreements.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Mike, anything come to mind for you? What about like
an under pressure well not country?
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Oh it's all country.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
It's all country. Oh ok yea yeah, yeah, it's top
ten country.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
You want to go all time? Dude, that's a whole
different story.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah. I could do that list.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
You want to do it now?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
No, because I'm going to miss some right now, take
your time. I like to be on my laptop.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Do that in the bath?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
No, because I don't have one of those things that
goes across the bathtub. Anymore. That's wood that you can
put it on. It's our bathtubs a little wide. I'd
go a new one then Morgan Wallen post Malone.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I had some milk. Oh, I had some help.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It's so good. I had some hell catchy. No, I
don't feel like people are gonna be loving that one
in fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Most of the duets that I found that people really
move along within their life are slow songs, emotional duets.
So like these upbeat ones, they don't really like touch
people's hearts as much. Are just fun and you gotta
like great people's hearts to last a long time?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Are they all? Because, like I'm thinking of Morgan Wallen
and post Malone, they're not singing a role. Which I
love about duets is it's almost like watching a movie.
It's like two people talking, you know, like the guy
tells his story and then the girl comes in and
she's like, that's not how it went. This is my
side of the story, and then they sing that chorus together.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That reminds me. I know A good one was Ashley
McBride and Carly Pearce and I don't remember the name
of it. But it was like about a guy eat
and I'm the other one or something. That was a
pretty good one for a recent because I didn't consider
anything that recent because it hasn't lived long enough for
me to have a up for it, like a triffinity
of time spent. But that was a good one, like
a good concept. Never wanted to be that girl. Yeah,
(39:06):
I never wanted to be that good.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I like this topic. I like that it's making me
think of all these songs that.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I can't believe. I missed the Clint Black and why no.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
No, no, dude, I mean that's really a song that
I mean, I haven't heard that.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Song so easy. Yes, dude, I can't even get there
to even halfway fake sing it, I know, get sing No.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
No, I couldn't. I really, I really couldn't.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What you were playing right there? That's what it's. What's
it called bad?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Goodbye? Listen though, dude, Hey, go go to the end,
go to the end where they both go.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You're here here, good.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Ud, that's so good.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Dang, that's it.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Thank you Eddie, Yeah, man, thank you.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
If you guys are listening to this, I do put
these lists. The first part up on Netflix. I did
wear a cowboy hat for the first two.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Hey, and I'm I say, you look pretty good in
a cowboy. Cowboy you're just not used to it.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
It's not my thing. No, you're not used to seeing
yourself like. But I'm not a cowboy, but you look
like one. But I'm not one. So I don't want
to fake being one, because I don't people to think
I think I'm a cowboy because I'm not.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
You think Alden's a cowboy? Is al Din a cowboy?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I don't want to speak on others cowboys.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
That's a good point. Let's not do that.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
So everybody's own version of a cowboy, right right. There
were two kinds of country music fans and listeners where
I grew up, cowboys and trailer trash. I'm very much
the trailer trash side of country more so than the
cowboys side of country. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Yeah, Yeah, you don't rodeo or anything like that, went
a few spectator.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Not really my thing. All right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Thanks for listening to the Bobby Cast. Share this episode
with a friend, because they don't pay to advertise us.
Hey, everybody, it's Bobby Bones. It's now time for the
ten greatest country duets of all time, wearing a cowboy
hat again for another week. For those that only watch
this show, maybe you've just tuned into this and you're like,
look at this cowboy doing this show. I never wear
a cowboy hat ever in my whole life, but when
(00:29):
I do a country music list, I think I'm gonna
wear a cowboy hat. So just know though that there's
no belt buckle on this waste. I'm not a cowboy.
I was very much a trailer trash. There's like two
kinds of country music. There's like cowboys and there's like
trailer trash. I was more on the trailer trash side
growing up. So we're gonna do this list. And I
(00:49):
would also like to say that this cowboy hat here
is when I got out of the store, I was
planning on wearing a black, very slick, I would say,
fashion forward cowboy hat that was gifted to me by
Tim McGraw about six years ago. He brought me a
cowboy hat and I said, well, that's very nice of you.
In my head, I thought, but I don't wear cowboy hats.
(01:12):
And he said, no, I want you to have this
because this was the hat that I wore for half
of my Vegas residency shows with Faith Hill, because Tim
and Faith did an entire Vegas residency to sold A
Soul Tour residency where they sang together, and he wore
that black cowboy hat specifically for half of those shows,
(01:33):
and he gave it to me, and I wanted to
wear it today. I lost it. Sucks. I looked everywhere,
I looked all through the house, I went back, and
I have a studio on my property where we live.
Can't find it. I'm distraught because I cannot find the
Tim McGraw gifted worn sold a Soul Black Amazing Cowboy hat.
(02:01):
And I bring that up because Tim and Faith one
of the greatest country duo duets of all time, and
maybe they make the list here, but let's get started.
The top ten country duets of all time, according to me,
Bobby Bones at number ten, We're going to start with
Johnny and June. That's right, not John Cleaver or June Cleaver.
(02:22):
Does it makes sense? I guess it's word Cleaver and
leave it to Beaver. But Johnny Cash and June Carter
Cash one thing I didn't know is that they didn't
actually write Jackson, which is a song we're talking about here.
I'm going to Jackson little knowledge for you. The song
was written by Billy ed Wheeler and Jerry Lieber, and
not only did they not write it, they weren't the
(02:45):
first to record it either. Billy ed Wheeler recorded it
himself and kind of had a hit with it back
in the day. And then after that, Nancy Sinatra and
Lee Hazelwood cut a version of it that one reached
top twenty on the chart in nineteen sixty seven. And
so there we go. You have two artists that released it.
Johnny and June then put it out and bam, it
(03:06):
became a massive hit. And so most people also assume
Jackson Mississippi also not the truth. It's like the Simpsons Springfield.
They never actually say which Springfield the Simpsons live in.
They purposely did not say which Jackson that they're singing about.
(03:27):
So I'm not even talking about Johnny and June. The
writers didn't and the song is timeless. It got famous
again whenever Joaquin Phoenix and Rees Wetherspoon did walk the line.
Great movie. It's also rare when actors can really encapsulate
people that are known for a certain singing style and
(03:47):
visual style and do them really close and not seen corny.
But that movie made the song popular again. And they're
not singing about how much they love each other. That's
what's cool about this song. They're actually singing about how
annoyed they are with each other. Other people knew that
they were actually in love in real life whenever they
recorded this song, so it came across as pretty charming
(04:07):
instead of toxic. So at number ten on my list,
it's Johnny and June with Jackson. At number nine on
the list is Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
to be cowboys. It's Willy and Whalen. Think of that song.
You think of Willy and Whalen. But they were not
the first people to actually record the song. So it
was written by Ed Bruce and Patsy Bruce. They wrote
(04:29):
it Ed recorded it in nineteen seventy five. It was
a top twenty song just by itself with one of
the writers singing it. Then Waylon and Willie got involved. Now,
the thing about this song that I think a lot
of people misunderstand is this song is not about hating cowboys.
It's actually the opposite. Like it was written because there
(04:51):
was the understanding of how lonely and difficult the cowboy
lifestyle could be, and so the writers wanted to capture
the sacrifices that came with it, and that's what the
song does. But I think a lot of people confuse
the song with a song where it's like, don't let
them be cowboys because the cowboys suck. That is not
it at all. Now. Whaling and Willie eventually recorded their version,
(05:13):
not just because they found the song that thought, hey,
this would be a good one. It was actually for
the movie soundtrack, The Electric Horseman that had Robert Redford
and Jane Fonda. And then that's the version that everybody remembers.
But when I say everybody, I guess I mean everybody alive,
and even now, I think you gotta be kind of
older to remember that song. But at number nine on
my list of the Greatest duets, Whalen and Willie Mamas,
(05:37):
don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. That's Willy.
At number eight on my list, Brooks and Dunn and
Reba Cowgirls don't cry. I might cry just talking about
this song. I love this song. I don't cry very often,
and it's not a masculinity thing. I don't think if
(06:01):
I cry, I'm not going to be a man or
of a vulnerability thing. I don't cry a lot. If
I do cry, usually it's you know, a devastating Arkansas
Razorbacks football loss, or somebody near me cutting onions. But
this one here nails me in the nads every single time.
(06:21):
So if you're not familiar with Cowgirls Don't Cry, the
lyrics basically follow one woman in her story through childhood,
being a kid, through marriage, heartbreak. Oh and there's a
big twist at the end. This to me is like
the saddest song ever. It's not just one of the
greatest duets. It's like one of the saddest songs ever
(06:43):
that has a ton of love in it because at
the end it's about the death of her father and
he's telling her the whole time, Hey, you're a kid,
like you, fall off the horse, get back up. Cowgirls
don't cry, Marriage doesn't work out, heart's broken, Hey all right,
Cowgirls don't Cry. And then at the end he's dying.
(07:06):
The dad's dying on the phone with his daughter and
he's like Hey, yeah, this sucks, but cowgirls don't cry
and you're like, oh my god. The interesting thing about
this song, if I can be song nerdy for a second,
is how they used riba in this song. Because the
(07:27):
song is just a heart ripouter anyway. But most times
you do a duet, you trade versus back and forth.
That did not happen in this song. Reba doesn't even
show up until that emotional final chorus, and because you've
waited so long to either hear her voice or you
don't know her voice is coming, when she sings, it's
(07:48):
like she's the woman in the song, and so it
hits that much harder. The idea for the song originally
started when Ronnie Dunn, who's the lead singer of Brooks
and Dune, and Terry McBride, who they write a lot together,
but also he's from McBride and The Ride. They were
talking about Reba's rodeo upbringing and how tough her dad
(08:08):
was on her, and Ronnie Dunn had also seen a
shirt at the Iowa State Fair that said cowgirls Don't
Cry and couldn't stop thinking about it, and so that's
the genesis of that song, right there. Something else that
I did not know, because I think this is one
of the greatest country songs ever. Is that it initially
was released as just a Brooks and Dune song. Only
(08:32):
after it was already out on a record did they
go back and record it with Riba and Man when
they did, I'm telling you it gives me bumps on
my arms because that is an emotional song. Holy crap.
So if you don't know the song, go and stream it.
Cowgirls Don't Cry. Brooks and Done and Riba at number
(08:54):
eight on My Greatest Duets of All Time nob' seveln
here on the countdown. This is one of my favorite songs,
and a little bit I had to take my personal
opinion and just slow, just slow and slightly moving back
because again, these are my favorite songs, but also in
my head like I feel like these are the greatest
duets of all time. But this song You Went Tequila
(09:16):
by Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter, I just think it's
one of the best songs ever. You have Tequila make
me crazy. It is so good. This is my favorite
kind of Kenny Chesney and I told him this it's
not beach Kenny. I don't give a crap about the beach.
I don't like the ocean. I don't like the sun,
I don't like the salt. I don't like any of
(09:36):
that crap at the beach. I don't like Florida beaches.
I don't like golf beaches. I don't like California beaches.
I'm out, don't like the beach. Don't only love Kenny
Beach love Emo Kenny, Emo, Kenny is awesome. I like
sad Kenny. I'll pass on everybody, grab a drink and
go to the sandbar. Kenny not really for me. This
(09:57):
song is the ultimate what I love about Kenny Chesney.
It's an emotional song and they didn't really know each other.
So what's crazy about this? I got a couple of things.
Number One, A lot of people didn't know that Kenny
was not the first person to cut this song. It
was written by matrasa Berg and Dina Carter, the same
Dina Carter they did Strawberry Wine. Man. I nailed that.
(10:21):
Dina recorded it back in two thousand and three and
Kenny heard her sing it while they were touring together
when she was opening for Kenny, and he always loved
the song, and so he knew he loved it and
he just kind of waited it didn't become a big
hit for Dina Carter, and Kenny was like, hey, can
I cut that song? And so he did. And they
didn't really even know each other, Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter,
(10:43):
they were not friends. He was just thinking, man, she'd
be perfect for the song. They recorded it. I mean
they became friends from that and then recorded I Believe
wild Child after that, which ended up being a great
song as well. And for all of Kenny's number ones,
and I counted yesterday, he has nine hundred and thirteen,
this song only reached number three. I think it's Kenny
(11:05):
Jesney's best song. I think, like, what else would I
even put there at number one? I think this is
his number one song. To me, this is a great
example of a song becoming bigger in time than its
chart position was when it actually was moving up a chart.
So at number seven on my list, it's Kenny and
(11:25):
Grace with you and Tequila.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Hank Tight The Bobby Cast will be right back, and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
At number six, Jason Aldi and Kelly clarkson don't you
want to Stay? Don't You want to stay a little whole.
That's a jam. I wasn't even in country music when
this song came out. I had a couple phases of
my life, my growing up phase from I come ripping
out of my momth edge until about fourteen or fifteen
(12:07):
hardcore country music, and then really started to get into
alternative music, you know, and like the two thousand and
eight to two thousand eighteen, I's kind of checked out
a country music. One. I felt like it's a bit repetitive,
and two I was working fully in pop and hip hop,
and so I was out. This song was so good
(12:31):
it was kind of like I maybe I'm back in,
And so it exploded really because of a single performance.
Jason Alden and Kelly Clarkson performed this song the twenty
ten CMA Awards. The reaction was so strong from the
performance that radio stations just started adding it, like Okay,
we're just gonna play the song. A lot of people
point to that night as the exact moment that that
(12:52):
song became a hit. Now officially it wasn't a hit
till it hit number one, but that was the night
that everyone said this thing wrong. It also gave Kelly
Clarkson her first number one country song, which makes sense
because even though she was a giant pop star, she
was still a Texas girl who when she talked, she
sounded like a Texas girl, and she still connected with
(13:15):
people that listen to country music. Another thing that's pretty
easy to forget here is that song lived on the
same album as My Kind Of Party and Dirt Road Anthem.
Like a lot of artists would be thrilled to just
have one career defining song on an album, Jason Alden
had three on that record. I mean, this is full
wallet chain al Dean right here. And so that's why
(13:37):
a lot of people view My Kind Of Party as
the album that elevated him from silver wallet chain to
gold wallet chain. That's right. That song was awesome, still
is awesome at number six. Don't you want to stay
at number five? And this song wasn't even a country
song until welp, it just was. And that's Kiderock and
Sheryl Crow. Picture what a freaking jam this was. Also,
(14:02):
this may be the most over karaokeed song as far
as duets go, in American karaoke history. Every time I
hear it at karaoke, one person thinks they're Cheryl Crow.
The other person sounds like they're kid Rock after a
head injury. That's what this song is like as it's
being karaoke. But I love it. And also if you
(14:26):
sing this song karaoke and one of the people are good,
you'll bloys get a standing ovation. Fun fact about this song,
the original version featured Alison Moore, not Cheryl Crow. That's
the one that appeared on the album. It was Kid
Rock and Alison Moore. The song started to gain traction
on pop radio stations with the Cheryl Crow version. And
(14:46):
now remember because I was one of them, I couldn't
get enough of it. Something unusual then happened, especially because
Cheryl Crow not a country artist. Kid Rock definitely wasn't
a country artist that he was still bab Wood of Baw.
He was still devil without a cause guy. But country
stations were like this sonically makes sense, the story of
it makes sense, so why don't we give it a run?
(15:10):
And every format kind of claimed it as their own.
It was one of those weird songs where rock stations
liked it and kid rock guy pop stations liked it.
There's Sheryl Crow who had a ton of pop success.
Country fans liked it because it sounded like a really
great country song, and bars that had a microphone after
(15:31):
ten pm loved it because everybody wanted to come in
and sing it terribly. The crossover worked. It eventually became
a top five song and still remains one of my
personal favorite duets of all time. Man, what a jam
that was? Every song now, I'm just gonna go, what
a jam that was? Number four? Does he love You?
(15:53):
Does he love You? I'm talking about Reba and Linda Davis.
This song set out around Nashville for nearly a decade
before somebody recorded it. Songwriters Sandy Knox and Billy Stritch
wrote it back in the eighties, and there are people
that flirted with it. There's something in town called a
(16:15):
hold where if an artist likes it and they go,
I think I want to cut that, they can put
it on hold so no one else can get it.
Let's put it on hold a bunch of times. But
nobody wanted to cut it, mostly because it was like
a two woman dual duet, which now it makes sense
because this song just crushed. And now there have been
a couple since as well, big ones, but at the time,
(16:37):
it was all male female at least for the most part,
and Linda Davis wasn't originally supposed to be RIBA's duet partner.
And I talked to Riba about this because I thought,
maybe this is just some Wikipedia crap that people write.
But Riba initially wanted another major female star, and you know,
there are stories about who she tried to get, if
(16:59):
it was Dolly, if it was insert person here. But
as Riba told me, scheduling and label politics got in
the way because there are certain times you can release
songs certain people don't want if they have a single out,
another song to exist and be a single for someone else.
There were just a lot more rules back in the
day than there are today. So what did she do.
She turned to the person that sang in her band
(17:20):
every night background for her, Linda Davis. Fun fact, Hillary
Scott from Lady A's Mom, and so Linda was singing
harmony in her road band and it just so happened.
That's how it worked out, and it was such a
great decision that the music video is what I remember
them in the dresses the fog does He Love You?
(17:43):
The song was great, but the music video around this
time was really making songs transcendent, like if you nailed
the video and this song was good, like it just
left an imprint in people's mind. So in the nineties
when this song hit, CMT and TNN were both massive,
and so people weren't just hearing about the conference between
the wife and the mistress. They were seeing it and
it was really cool. And I think the visual element
(18:05):
helped the song, because man, that's always awesome, all right.
Number three, It's Your Love, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
If you went to a junior high dance when this
song was hidden, it's about the only thing that got
a girl to dance with you. That song would start now,
(18:30):
and you knew you had about three minutes and thirty
eight seconds to go and find a girl to dance
with you for about a minute and twenty seconds of
the back end of the song, because it took that
long to work up the courage. The interesting thing about
this song is that it was written by just one person.
In Nashville, co writes are such a thing that their
(18:52):
most songs. Rarely are there songs that are just written
by one person that ends up being a massive hit.
Stephanie Smith wrote this song all by herself, which again
it's pretty uncommon. Another reason the song felt so authentic
is because it actually was. When they were shooting the
video to this, Faith was pregnant with their first daughter, Gracie,
(19:14):
and instead of trying to hide that, they just embraced it.
And I think that's probably why the chemistry if you've
seen the video, I think that's why it feels so real,
is because it was. And man, what a jam that was.
And I wish I had the hat, So I'm upset
I don't have the hat because I wanted to tell
the story of that song and then go, I'm wearing
the hat. But now we're in this stupid thing I
(19:35):
got from Walmart. Anyway, shout out Walmart.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome back to
the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Number two Island's in the Stream Dolly and Kenny. This
is probably the biggest country duet that almost never happened.
Fun fact, the Begis wrote the song, not just one Beiji,
all the Bege's, and they did not write it as
a country song. Depending on which interview you read, they
(20:15):
originally thought Diana Ross or Marvin Gay and it was
going to be an R and B or a soul record.
Kenny Rogers later said that he got frustrated trying to
record this song whenever he decided to take it, because
it just didn't feel like a solo song. Because he tried,
he did not think it was working, so they wrote it.
(20:36):
They didn't have success with it, so they wrote it
for other artists. The other artists really didn't have success
with it, not enough to cut it, and so finally
Kenny cuts it. He did not have success with it
and almost just threw it all away. And then one
of the epic Nashville things happens about every Tuesday here
in town, where there's just an artist nearby at a
(20:57):
building nearby, and you call him and they come over
and sing on some thinking all of a sudden it
kind of works out. That's what happened here. Kenny's recording
the song. Dolly Parton happened to be nearby. He says, hey,
would you come over and try to sing some of
this with me? She physically was in the proximity of
Kenny Rodgers and said yes, So she goes over and
(21:18):
sings it as a duet. The rest is history. The
song reached number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred,
number one in the country chart, number one on the
AC chart. I think about that. The country chart makes sense.
The Hot AC chart, that's like slightly older, softer pop music.
I think the Googoo Dolls, Now, that's where that would
(21:40):
live on a Hot AC chart. Think Lisa Lobe, that's
where that would live. So it was on that chart too.
And then the Billboard Hot one hundred is the pop chart.
It's the straight up pop chart. All charts together. This
song was a monster. It knocked out Bonnie Tyler's total
eclipse of the Heart turn Around every now and Then
I Am Now, I'm a newman now. That was the
(22:03):
number one song until Islands in the Stream from Kenny
and Dolly hit October twenty ninth, nineteen eighty three. One
of the most emotional moments of Kenny Rodgers' final concert
in twenty seventeen was Dolly coming out and singing it
with him one last time. That's pretty cool. Think about that.
The biggest country duet ever was written by the Beg's,
(22:27):
inspired by Hemingway. The writer originally was intended to be
an R and B record and nearly got thrown away,
except for Dolly was one hundred feet away. That's a
pretty cool story. Number one. Think about it. I've done
nine nine dominant duets. What is the number one greatest
(22:51):
country duet of all time? Sad song? It's some recently
news song, Brandon, You will take a guess. Do you
think you know it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's got it?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
He got it. It is Whiskey Lullaby from Brad Paisley
and Alison Kraus. Holy crap. I don't know if this
is as much an emotional duet as it is a
hostage situation. That's almost what it feels like like within himself,
but also like sonically, Whiskey Lullaby sounds peaceful, just the
(23:30):
title Whiskey Lullaby. It sounds comforting, But the lullaby and
the title actually means death, and that's what makes the
song so haunting. Written by John Randall and Bill Anderson,
the central image of this song came from something that
John Randall's manager told him, something along the lines of
(23:51):
I'm gonna paraphrase here, every time you put that bottle
to your head, you are pulling the trigger. And that's
the foundation of that entire song. What's amazing is that
despite being considered one of the greatest country songs in
the last twenty five years, it only reached number three
on the chart, where there were like four more on
(24:14):
program directors at country stations that wouldn't move the song
to number one, and it kept it from being number one.
This is one of the greatest country songs of all time.
The Nashville songwriting community knew how great it was, the
artist knew how great it was. Whenever it was time
to vote for the CMAS it won Song of the Year,
(24:36):
which it should have, which is the most prestigious songwriting
award in Nashville. And these years later, if I played
that song for somebody who doesn't know the song, they're like, Dann,
that is a good song. And Brad Paisley was known
as a great guitar player and a guy who made
hits and a guy who did funny ish stuff like quirky.
(24:57):
This launched him to a whole other level and gave
him a new amount of respect as well, because this
was a serious song. And Alison Kraus, if you knew bluegrass,
you knew her and she would cross over just a
little bit. But this song put her on the map
of even country casuals. That's why it's my number one
country duet of all time because it freaking rocks. Put
(25:21):
that bottles in and pulled trigger, and that's my number
one of all time country duets.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Hang tight, The Bobby Cast will be right back, and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Okay, So we just finished the version that Netflix saw
of my greatest country Duets of all time. Eddie did
not see it. You did not hear it?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
This is my favorite part because when I say greatest
country duets of all time? What would be your number one?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
So duets would be a song that someone did together?
Or would it be like Brooks and Dunn that's a duo.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
That's not a duet. Yeah, it's like two different artists.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
I honestly didn't know if it was like a duo.
Was the male version of two artists and the duets
the female version?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
No, okay, it's two different entities performing together. Because if
let's say Little Big Town and the Backstreet Boys did
a song together, that'd be a duet. It doesn't really matter.
A Little Big Town's one Backstreet Boys or the other,
or it could be one and one people.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Let me ask you, if there's three people on there,
what is it? Is it a duet?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah? Love? It? Are two of them in a group?
One single group? No? Oh, I think that would be
a true I don't know a trio. I don't know
what that would be, actually, because.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
My favorite would be Highway Don't Care? Is which is
tim Ac Grath, Taylor Swift and Keith Urvan.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I did the Demon talk ten?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Love that one?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Bye? I don't think Keith urban Ever sings.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, he plays the guitar.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
That's not that's not a three. Then that's just a
two with a feature.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Okay, Then that's Tim, Tim and Taylor.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Of all of yours of all time, that's your favorite?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I love that one? And then I love what's the
Maren Morris and Dirk Spanley one? His phone lights up
in the dark. I don't want to be a lot dude.
That one is so good. One of my favorites of
all time.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I can't judge yours because this is a tasting. I'm
surprised both of yours are so new.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, I mean I think of the older ones like
I feel like, I mean, I'm sure Garth and Trisha
had one right.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
They did and and I think it made my list.
It was close, but it didn't make my list.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
No, I know which one.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Your number one is garthan Tricia's was in another's eyes, I.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Believe, And there's a that's a good one too.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
They may have done more than that, but I think
that's probably the one you're referring to. They didn't make
my list. This is a hard list to make.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Your I know your number one, your number one is uh.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I'm not sure you do. Oh, you probably know a
couple in my top three, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Dang, you're right, I'm kind of between two for your
number one.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
It's going to be one of those two.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Then, okay, but I have Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter,
which song, Oh man, but oh gosh, you and Tequila.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You and Tequila make me crazy. So it isn't my
top ten. Okay, So that's like, personally, it's one of
my favorite songs ever. But I had did not just
do my personal taste. It was a mixture. My personal
taste is a mixture of how long the song stayed
cool to people, how big it was You and Tequila's
that nuber was at number seven on the list. I
just did oh way love the song. It's higher than
(28:54):
that in my all time favorite country songs of all time,
but as a duet that was number seven.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Okay, Your number one then definitely is Brad Paisley and
Alison Cross Whiskey Whisky. You've loved that one forever.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's such a great song. And then you know, put
the bottle against his head and pulled the trigger, which
is just drinking. He keeps drinking and kill himself by drinking.
He does.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Oh, I have another one that's on your list. I
think that George Jones. And is it George Jones or
Conway Twitty? Which is the one you ugly? You make
Conway Twitty? Is that on your list?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
You're the reason our kids are ugly, some of the
reason our kids are ugly. Little darling.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Wow, that didn't make your list.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It didn't a great one.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Oh tell me tell me that will and Nelson and
Julio Iglesia has made your list.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
No, but Willie did make the list with whal on
Mama's don't let your babies dude, good pick at number nine, Mama,
don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys? And
what I talked about was how people thought that was
an anti cowboys song, but it was mostly a respect song.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, like here's why being a cowboys so hard.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, cow and cowboys don't really love. Like it's it's hard.
It's hard to love a cowboy because that's a hard job.
It's hard on them. So I didn't do William Julio.
Yeah we did that for Halloween one. Yeah, it's like
losers bar and I was Willian.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You or Julio?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Yeah, man, that was funny.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
What else you got? It comes to mind? Yours your top?
Don't guess mine?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Okay, man, I've I'm trying to think of like fun ones,
you know, like you're the reason our kids are ugly?
Is fun?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Right? Uh?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
What about?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Man?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Trying to think.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
There's a fun one? At ten on my list as
a married couple, And mostly this one was because they
were kind of picketing each of them's song. That's why
it was fun.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
M I immediately went to Tim and Faith.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
That did make my list. But now, yeah, that's a
good one too. That's a love it's your Oh dude,
that's got to be mine.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
That's so good.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, Married Pitcher Love to Me was at number three, Okay,
this is the oldest one on the list.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
What do you mean, like that old married couple.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
No, the oldest song on the list was this one.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh oh yeah, dude, Jackson. Mm hmm, that's a great one.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
It was at number ten and so Johnny or June.
They didn't write Jackson. It was actually released multiple times. Really,
somebody else had to hit with it too before they did.
And the funny thing was that I had mentioned earlier,
was that song it's not about Jackson, Tennessee. It's not
or Jacksonsissippi. Oh.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I always thought it was because, like you know, when
you drive from Texas to Tennessee, drive through Jackson all
the time.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It's the same reason that the Simpsons do Springfield. There
are so many they just didn't because they didn't write
the song that they just wanted it to be generic.
And there's a lot of Jackson.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I liked that song.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Your favorite of all time is favorite duet?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, man, I might have to go mamas, don't let
your babies grow up to be cowboys? Like I love
that song. I know there's some really good ones I'm
missing out on.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Reaging my list. Tell me if anything comes up after
our regional list at ten, Jackson at nine, Mamas at
number eight, which is the most emotional song maybe that
I've ever heard of my whole life is Cowgirls Don't Cry? Oh,
why that one's crazy because it's Brooks and unn in
riba is that it's not a traditional duet rieba. It
just comes into the very end and she's a daughter
now whose dad's dying. Yeah, Oh that's a crazy one. Uh.
(32:43):
Seven was You and Tequila? Six was Don't You Want
to Stay? Aldeana Kelly Clarkson. Oh that's such a good
oneted chorus is so good? Number five picture of kidder
Rock and Cheryl Crowe. That one makes me laugh because
I feel like that's kind of funny too. Neither one
of them were a country artists.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yeah, yeah, it's just a funny combination of two people.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
What a jam and she cherykro wasn't the original artist
on the album like.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Somebody else sang it? Is it somebody famous or just
like a female voice.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Alison Moore, I don't know, don't know who that is.
Does He Love You? Number four?
Speaker 3 (33:19):
It's another one I just thought of.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Does He Love You? Which Linda Davis, Uh, it'scher loved
three Islands in the Stream at two.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Oh dude, how did I forget that one?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Whiskey Lullaby one?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, that's a really good list.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Anything else come to mind? Because I just wanted to
run it by you and see where you would go.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Man' there there was there was one that I loved.
There's a Clint Black one that we talked about recently. Yeah,
him and his wife Alisa Hartman. And that's not the
one I was thinking of. It was wy Nona and
Clint Black, which I loved, but I did. It was
one of those that I listened to so many times
when I was younger, and then haven't listened to that
in forever. So I don't remember what it's called. It's
(33:58):
like last good Bye or something or sad goodbye, bad goodbye,
bad goodbye.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
How does that go?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
I couldn't even tell you. I couldn't even tell you
how it goes. But I remember the harmonies between and
the voices like mixed together of Clint Blacks and why
not As were just so good. And then the song
starts like very slow.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
I can't play much of it.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Oh yeah, dude, I know, Yeah, of course it starts
so slow, and then by the last chorus, they're like
Pavarotti style going, yeah you remember the song?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, it goes good it guess I'm goodbye. Easier said, y, Yeah,
that's a good one. I don't even think about that one.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I don't even know if it was like a number
one ever or what, but it was just a song
that stuck out to me when I was I don't know,
sixteen years old.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Man, that was a good one. Easy say. I can't
I can't even hit that. I can't get in the
key up.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Dude, even when they go in the very end, it's
like and good bad? Did they hit it so hard?
It's so good?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, that one never even popped up because I try
not to go to Google and go give me ten duets.
I racked my brain for the ones, and I think
had that popped up, I would have for sure at
least put that in honorable mention because that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Is there anything we're forgetting?
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Um? Oh?
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Oh? Do what am I thinking?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
But five o'clock somewhere not my vibe. I love that one.
Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett, come on. I did think
of the if you see Him, if you See Her,
because I think that's Riba with Brooks and Done instead
of Brooks and Down with Riba. Oh okay, if you no,
I'm not doing Lendon Davis if you see him, if
you see her. That beer from a Horses was another
(35:50):
willing one that.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
I can see.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Willy and Toby so good, which is a good one. Yes,
that was an honorable mention half of my hometown with
and Kelsey. But it was too new and it was
just good.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
That was a good one.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
What do you mean, oh, dude, well you.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Know what a new one that's really good? Riley Green
and Ella Langley.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Not really for me? Which one they both want awards?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Uh? I mean it's the excuse.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Oh, that'd be the better one. Dude.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
That's so good.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
The Fighter with Urban and Carrie, which is fun. It
wouldn't be one of the top ones ever, that's.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
A good one.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
What if I.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Let you go?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
What if? Fuck no? And I'm sure that people are
listening to going. I can't believe you're not picking this one.
But yeah, those were the ones that I had on there.
What about the one that I didn't put because I
didn't feel like it was the true representation of the
song Shanaia did from this moment, from this moment. But
(36:52):
the country version had Brian White on it.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Oh okay, so was he the original artist for that
with her?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
So that was it? Her song with him got it,
I'm almost positive and went pop. They took him off
of it. So that would have been something.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Man, that sucks. What when it goes pop? They take
him off?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I mean country, but I mean, like the song already existed,
why not just keep him on? But I get it,
it's business for agreements. You didn't read the books. You
can't quote the book.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
But you said it so many times I feel like
I can.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I didn't read it.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Hey, man, it's like the book. I've read four agreements.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Mike, anything come to mind for you? What about like
an under pressure well not country?
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Oh it's all country.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
It's all country. Oh ok yea yeah, yeah, it's top
ten country.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
You want to go all time? Dude, that's a whole
different story.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah. I could do that list.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
You want to do it now?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
No, because I'm going to miss some right now, take
your time. I like to be on my laptop.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Do that in the bath?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
No, because I don't have one of those things that
goes across the bathtub. Anymore. That's wood that you can
put it on. It's our bathtubs a little wide. I'd
go a new one then Morgan Wallen post Malone.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I had some milk. Oh, I had some help.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It's so good. I had some hell catchy. No, I
don't feel like people are gonna be loving that one
in fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Most of the duets that I found that people really
move along within their life are slow songs, emotional duets.
So like these upbeat ones, they don't really like touch
people's hearts as much. Are just fun and you gotta
like great people's hearts to last a long time?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Are they all? Because, like I'm thinking of Morgan Wallen
and post Malone, they're not singing a role. Which I
love about duets is it's almost like watching a movie.
It's like two people talking, you know, like the guy
tells his story and then the girl comes in and
she's like, that's not how it went. This is my
side of the story, and then they sing that chorus together.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That reminds me. I know A good one was Ashley
McBride and Carly Pearce and I don't remember the name
of it. But it was like about a guy eat
and I'm the other one or something. That was a
pretty good one for a recent because I didn't consider
anything that recent because it hasn't lived long enough for
me to have a up for it, like a triffinity
of time spent. But that was a good one, like
a good concept. Never wanted to be that girl. Yeah,
(39:06):
I never wanted to be that good.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I like this topic. I like that it's making me
think of all these songs that.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I can't believe. I missed the Clint Black and why no.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
No, no, dude, I mean that's really a song that
I mean, I haven't heard that.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Song so easy. Yes, dude, I can't even get there
to even halfway fake sing it, I know, get sing No.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
No, I couldn't. I really, I really couldn't.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What you were playing right there? That's what it's. What's
it called bad?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Goodbye? Listen though, dude, Hey, go go to the end,
go to the end where they both go.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You're here here, good.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Ud, that's so good.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Dang, that's it.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Thank you Eddie, Yeah, man, thank you.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
If you guys are listening to this, I do put
these lists. The first part up on Netflix. I did
wear a cowboy hat for the first two.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Hey, and I'm I say, you look pretty good in
a cowboy. Cowboy you're just not used to it.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
It's not my thing. No, you're not used to seeing
yourself like. But I'm not a cowboy, but you look
like one. But I'm not one. So I don't want
to fake being one, because I don't people to think
I think I'm a cowboy because I'm not.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
You think Alden's a cowboy? Is al Din a cowboy?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I don't want to speak on others cowboys.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
That's a good point. Let's not do that.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
So everybody's own version of a cowboy, right right. There
were two kinds of country music fans and listeners where
I grew up, cowboys and trailer trash. I'm very much
the trailer trash side of country more so than the
cowboys side of country. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Yeah, Yeah, you don't rodeo or anything like that, went
a few spectator.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Not really my thing. All right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
