5 Songs Post

Old Crow Medicine Show- Wagon Wheel


I think everyone who listens music has a few songs they can listen to all their life as much as they can and the song never gets old. For me this is one of those songs. I first ran into this song in high school through friends and I've been listening to it ever since. Really this song reminds me of high school because whenever a group of us friends were together there was usually a guitar around and we usually ended up playing this song. All in all it was a crowd favorite at social events. Ive grown up loving southern music so this song couldn't be more perfect to fit into that genre. Wagon Wheel is twangy, southern, and easy to remember so it really always makes for a good time.

Frank Sinatra- My Way


This song is so special to me to the point where I want it played at my own funeral. I first heard this song as a kid through my grandfather who was always into classical singers from the forties and fifties such as Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Johnny Mathis. This song just stuck it with me even to this day, its a great powerful, legendary song. Even this day I have a giant picture of Sinatra hanging in my room at my house. The man was simply an amazing performer in means of acting and playing music.

Corey Smith- 21


Another southern song "21" by Corey Smith I can identify with because when I first played the song for my dad he said that it reminded him of his upbringing. The songs about being a highschool kid living a life thats a bit too old for your age. The name and chorus goes with the storyline by stating "wishing I was twenty-one". Its a great song to listen to live also. I've seen Corey Smith six times now and this song always gets a good response from the crowd. Its overall a good wholesome song that so many people can relate to.

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Gimme Back My Bullets


I've worked at the same horsefarm and had the same boss for about three years now and through working I have developed a pretty good relationship with my boss. He is in a Lexington local band named Ten Cent Love and tours around Lexington playing shows at places such as the Dame, Squier's Tavern, and O'Neils. Ive been to many of his shows and I must admit "Gimme Back My Bullets" is probably my favorite song they cover. Also Lynyrd Skynyrd has always been one of my favorite bands growing up.

Shinedown- 45


The first big concert I ever went to was 3 Doors Down, Tantric, and Shinedown at Rupp Arena when I was in seventh grade. We showed up late into the first bands performance (Shinedown) and only got to see one songs fully played. The song was 45 and to this day I can still remember everything about what was going on when I first heard this song. Even the smell of the arena I remember perfectly. Still today I like Shinedown and the music they are putting out but I still like their first album that they mostly played at the concert the most.
