This song is the epitome of country rock.  I love to crank out an obscure tune that most people have never heard of – but it still works for your audience because of a great beat, nice bass line, and it’s easy to sing.  ‘Course, anybody who’s a fan of “Big House” will be very familiar with it and probably sing along, but how many people can that be?  Trust me, not many.

I’m not a country boy by any means, but I do love the line “What’s that blue tick hound doin’ in my chair – better throw that dog a bone and get ‘im outta there”.  Those kind of lyrics allow a male singer to get real low and… well… downright sexy with his voice  (at least as sexy as I’LL ever get).  I guess it would work for a “chick” singer too, but it makes more sense for a guy to be standing outside the door – begging to get in the house – and she’s inside all warm and cozy.

Put this one in your last set – when your audience is kinda dazed and stumbling around trying be cool.  It’s on the country list…
