Help me build my two-stepping playlist!

Dance-with-me · 10-24-2012, 07:24 AM

Two-steppers and country music fans, please help! I want to put together a good playlist of music that's great for two-stepping, since I will be occasionally helping to teach an ongoing class, which will include running the class at times when the primary instructor can't make it. Of course, if you're a true two-stepper, then you know that it's possible to two-step to almost anything

but I figure I'd start with some of the more traditional options. The last time I two-stepped regularly was back in the mid- to late-90s, so I'm familiar with a lot of songs from that era (but please include them in your suggestions anyway because I've forgotten more than I remember!), but I'd like to include more recent music as well. And pace can range from slow romantic to "oh my god I can't breath trying to keep up with this" but somewhere in the middle might be best for the beginners I'll be teaching.

Thanks!

1. "I've Come To Expect That from You" - George Strait

2. "Any Man of Mine" - Shania Twain

3. "Small Town Saturday Night" - Hal Ketchun

4. "Chatahoochie" - Alan Jackson

They're older songs but great for two steppin'

Hey BoDy*ShOt -- I love your song choice (Neon Moon) but I think the beat/tempo is better as a stationary cha-cha:

Brooks & Dunn -- Neon Moon

A couple 2-step favorites of mine are:

Fast tempo and happy 2-step:

Vince Gill -- Feels Like Love

Slow tempo and bittersweet 2-step:

Patty Loveless -- Last Thing On My Mind

Thanks! That's great!

Help a poor old woman and her failing memory

: The other night (late, tired) I was listening to the country station while driving and there was a song I recognized (so it was probably from the 90's), female artist, somewhat melancholy tune, one word title that started with an O, and all I remember is trying to get Siri to recognize what I was saying as I tried to create a reminder to add it to my playlist and she really let me down.

Anyone have any idea what it might have been?!?

If you can give me a line or two from the song. Or the refrain. Or at least what she was singing about. I can probably help.

DWM, do you have pandora radio?
If so, plug in some of the artists mentioned here, you'll find similar music.

Tequila Talkin....Lonestar

Martina · 10-24-2012, 10:55 AM

"Gringo Honeymoon" -- Robert Earl Keen

If I could remember that, then I could find it. I wrote to the Sirius Prime Country show and asked them to let me know what it was, since I know pretty much what time it was playing. And as soon as they tell me the name I'll probably be able to sing the whole song, but right now? My brain's giving me nothing.

I'm going to use this to remind myself of songs I want to include:

Shameless, Garth Brooks - great romantic song for a close, sultry dance.

Duchess · 10-24-2012, 11:44 AM

Brooks and Dunn...Boot Scootin Boogie
Deborah Allen......Rock Me..(she also has a remix that's faster if needed)
Dixie Chicks...Goodbye Earl

Have you heard this artist? He was very popular when I used to two-step several times a week. In the 90's, of course.

Martina · 10-24-2012, 01:25 PM

Dwight Yoakam -- Guitars, Cadillacs
