Okay the debate about the Red White and Blue has come up once again. Just like it does every few weeks. Of ALL of the songs that are out there, not including the National Anthem. What are the ones that touched your life?
My List Is:
Where Were You .....Alan Jackson Stars and Stripes Where the Eagle Fly's ....Aaron Tippin Living In the Promise Land.... Willie America ( think that is what it's called).... Waylon

That is indeed the title, and that song kicks ass. One of the best recordings Waylon ever had, if you ask me (which you haven't).
Otherwise, I've also always been fond of "America The Beautiful" (I don't care who sings it, I've always liked the lyrics. Willie made me swell with pride and a sense of comfort when he sang it at the benefit show in 2001.)
I'm also a big fan of Brooks & Dunn's "Only In America." I liked the sound of the song, the lyrics, the message. I also especially like that this song was written and recorded long before September 11th; to me, that it was just a song that Kix and Don Cook wrote from the heart gives the song a quality of...genuine appreciation? I guess that phrase'll do, since I can't think of a better one.
Oh, and George Strait's "Heartland" makes me feel good everytime I hear it, too. :)

You would love to live where my mom lives. Over 20 miles outside of San Angelo Texas in the middle of No Where West Texas. Strait, team ropes with the guy that lives a quarter of a mile from her. She said everyone knows when Strait is near by the helicopter is a dead give away. Back to my thought and you... Being way out there in the middle of no where, everyone waves to the other as they are driving by. It is the coolest thing and if you don't wave out there then you are considered rude and inconsiderate. My daughter has become a pro at driving and doing the one finger wave with her index finger. It does make you feel good, you tend to forget your troubles when a stranger offers you a friendly smile and wave.
I think about Heartland everytime I go visit momma, it is sooo true.

And that, to me, is what it's all about, right there. George Strait or no George Strait, there's something that feels good about waving to people when driving by them (or when they drive by you). It's such a simple gesture, takes no effort at all, and yet, it can just change the feeling of a drive. I especially like the slower version of the song he sings with his son to open the movie (or close the soundtrack album). I really like that last verse a lot..."There's a place where mornings are an endless blue/and you feel Mother Nature walk along with you/Simple people, livin' side by side/still wave to their neighbors as they're driving by/Sing a song about the Heartland, sing a song about my life." We should all be so blessed!

Ray Charles does the best version of that I ever heard.

People here have been real good about recommending stuff... and usually right about knowing the differences between OK, good, and really good. Uh.... payday is splurge day. <G>

>>Go find America by Waylon. You will be totally blown away
You can get it on the 2-disc RCA Country Legends Waylon set. It's also on The Essential Waylon Jennings CD; so far as I'm aware, the original album is long out of print. I recommend them both; each has selections not available on the other, though, obviously, the 2-disc set has more. Both have fairly well composed informative booklets, although I think there's more to the Essential booklet.
