As I'm looking to get my old 'tree change' underway, I was thinking that a soudtrack would be needed, so here we go:
5) Green Green Grass of home, Elvis Presley
The king at his almost best. Lots of crooning and...actually, this could be almost any Elvis song. I suppose it gives little room for saying "I don't like THIS song".
4) Down on the farm, Guns 'n Roses
Healthy mixture of filthy AC/DC inspired lyrics and a degenerate view of country life.
3) Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, Primus
Primus combined an excellent baseline with some good ol' boy c&w. One of the best music videos ever, not that it will do me much good in the fields.
2) My rifle, my pony and me
I like everything about this song. It has an odd contribution from a wino, a whistling solo, Ricky Nelson and Dean Martin (as another wino), and it infers that all a man needs is a pony and a rifle (obviously to ensure that the pony complies with keeping life sweet).
1) Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Earl Scruggs
Nothin' like a bit of banjo to get you going in the morning. Earl Scruggs; legend.
