My band is taking the plunge and expanding our format into more commercial "classic country" ie Merle, Hank, Buck, etc. We would like to primarily focus on 40's, 50's. and 60's type material. Does anyone out there have set lists that they could conveniently e-mail to me in WORD format to save the brainstorming and give us some ideas of successful bandstand tunes you've done?
Thanks much,
DD

Dana, it's nice to see an apparent "new country" band going back to the traditional roots. However, you're going to need more than a "play list". If you go into a club and tell them you play "traditional" country you are going to get hit with a lot of requests for songs and unless you are already familiar with a lot of the older stuff a "play list" isn't going to be much good.
I don't want to sound discouraging, just a play list of even 50 or 100 songs is relatively nothing if you're going into the older traditional country. On the other hand, if you're just going to do an occasional old country song then a small play list will do.
Where I pick at there are several singers that can sing older country songs all night, without a song book, and never sing the same song twice.

Dana...
I will send you a play-list of about 700 songs if you want it. just e-mail me with a e-mail address. I have hard copys of all of them but that fills 2 3inch binders. To copy them would cost about 10 cents a copy, which could get expensive.
I can e-mail you the play-list at no cost though. Let me know if you want it.
