One hit wonders....?!
Question:
One hit wonders....?
What are some One hit wonders you recall..?
One hit wonders:
Davis Daniels: For crying out loud
Anthony Smith: If that ain't country
Ricky Lyn Gregg: Can you feel it
I know there are more...And what are some you wished were one hit wonders?
Wished They were:
Rascall Flatts
Kenny Chesney
Tim McGraw
Taylor Swift
If you don't have twin fiddles or steel guitar in the band...Don't bother showing up:)
Answers: Nobody's keeping those one-hit wonders country.
This list could get really touchy with the crossovers and the "what about that song" possibilities. For example, I WON'T list Billy Ray Cyrus since his whole Some Gave All album was really good....but I wish they'd have put that ONE song on the end (his Greatest Hits disc producer did).
Another artist whom I consider a two-hit wonder to be excluded here is country star Johnny Paycheck (Take This Job and Shove It, Colorado Kool-Aid).

Note to Okiefan, who despite our common love for country music somehow never puts me on friend's list: I went back and did legitimate research without looking at other people's lists..the first batch I did on my own. I was a country broadcaster through the 80's and you'll get some obscure ones there. Any that match the other's lists is not by stealing. You know me better than that!! Is there a reason I can't put an hour into a great question??
