Slow Dancing - U2 wrote this song for Willie Nelson

 

[Bigboote]

Here's a Vietnam-era song from Janis Ian. One of the all-time great opening couplets:

With the corpse of my dead brother to the sacrificial beat

Saw these guys a few times back in the day, fun shows. "Get that line dance out of here man, give her room to move her feet."

Good stuff! Reminds me of the Cigar Store Indians and the Memphis Rockabilly Band (formed in Boston, not Memphis)
I saw the Memphis Rockabilly Band at BK Clark's in Stowe, VT way, way back when and they had that place up and moving

The Derailers is another one. Definitely very influenced by Buck Owens, but some of their stuff is rockabilly.
