    Louisianna Man is the name of a song guys. It is a song with a kind of Cajun feel and that's what that lyric refers to. The fiddle was played by the lead guitarist. He is not primarily a fiddle player.

    The reason they mention Louisiana Man is because that is a song by Cajun fiddle player Doug Kershaw. The portion of the verse means that for most songs a hot lead guitar will be fine but not if you play a Cajun song like "Louisiana Man" (which is played often in Texas) or for Bob Wills' "Faded Love." To play those songs (and Texans expect you to play them) you have to have a fiddle.

    Listen to Alabama's song of the south, feels so right. And my favorite, 40 hour week. My dad lived this song. He was from Ranger, WV and we had many family member who worked in the coals mines. This is a song for every working man, but they call out several professions that get little gratitude. I cant send you bourbon, but my daddy taught me about country music. Check out Keith Whitley. He was from across the river from Huntington, WV in Kentucky. He was amazing and would probably be right up there with George Strait and Alan Jackson had he lived.

    Great reaction. Randy Owen - Lead singer for Alabama has a very wide range of vocal sounds. As far as fiddle playing Charley Daniels is Awesome. Mark O’Connor is another great Fiddler that was influenced a lot by Charley Daniels. Listen to The Devil went down to Georgia by Charley Daniels - then right after listen to The Devil comes back to Georgia - This classic tune features the late Johnny Cash as the song’s narrator, Marty Stuart as the voice of Johnny, Travis Tritt as the voice of the devil, and Mark O’Connor as the fiddle player for Johnny’s solo and also Charley Daniels plays fiddle in the background throughout the song.

    For a slower Alabama song consider "Love in The First Degree" and "Lady Down on Love"

    I think your kind of missing it on the fiddle. I think the point in the fiddle songs is how it makes you feel. Which I think was on point for this song. Much like "faded Love' that they referents in this song. Check out Bob Wills "Faded Love" and see if I'm right. Or maybe it's just a Texas thing.

    Nobody does harmonies like the ( I'm going to make some people mad,but stay with me) BeeGees. I know this is a country channel, but they wrote songs for Oliva Newton John when she first came out. The song "Lay Your Head on my Shoulders, Put. Your Worries in my Pocket" has a definite country twang to it- if you play the BeeGees singing it . So if you grew up loving the BeeGees like I did, vote this song up cause I can't send in bribes ( like you, Stephen) I'm on a fixed income.Please, please vote this up!!

      @@stevebournite184 Fyi, they did plenty of so called country in their later years after the disco era. Islands in the steam by Dolly and Kenny Roger's, Indian Summer with the Gatlin Bros and Roy Orbison, Evening Star by Kenny and Barry Gibb was invited and sung at the Grand Ole Opry by Ricky Skaggs. Do some research if you want to throw slag around.

      So, growing up, I hated the Beegees. But over the past few years, I've been kind of going back and revisiting their stuff. There was some serious vocal talent there I disregarded in my youth. But no, they're not country, so pretty unlikely to make it to the channel. A lot of their earlier stuff sounded more like them trying to be Australian Beatles than anything country. - Keith

      @@BourbonCountryReacts Although the Bgs were born in England, they spent most of their childhood in Australia and the Beatles and rock was just starting up and so the Beatles were the band they were looking to be like. They had their first hit right before they went back to England and were introduced to Robert Stiegwood,who helped them get their career on the road. They have written many songs for other singers in every genre. I was wrong about the title of the song "Lay Your Head on my Shoulders" , it's really called " Rest Your Love on Me." It was a really big hit for Conway Twitty. If that's not country enough for you, I don't know what is. They really want to be remembered as songwriters. I am going to save enough money to send a bribe into the channel and dedicate a Country song written by the Bgs and dedicate it to you!😄
