"Just a walking the dog' sang my Patsy Cline, although I like "Walking After Midnight". I like movies that have a lot of country or country and western songs in them. My first Country and Western singer was Roy Rogers and The Sons of the Pioneers "Ghostriders of the Sky" and music from Frankie Laine.


P.S. I have Life of Patsy Cline DVD that I can make video captures from.

Wow, by the selection of the songs above it's as if none of you have listened to country radio for the past 5 years. I'm really bad at thinking on my feet so all I can come up with is...

Speed - Montgomery Gentry
Celebrity - Brad Paisley
I'm gonna miss her - Brad Paisley
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems - Kenny Chesney

Can't think of anymore, If I do I'll add them.

I think you and I might have very different tastes in Country, but here's a track listing for a CD I made a year or two ago that several people have said they liked. You can see if anything strikes your fancy. (not all are upbeat and danceable, but all the songs are very singable)

Pour Me - Trick Pony
Big River - Trick Pony (with Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings)
One - Johnny Cash
Ashes By Now - Lee Ann Womack
I Don't Feel That Way Anymore - Danni Leigh
Blame It On Your Heart - Patty Loveless
The Captain - Kasey Chambers
I Get A Kick Out of You - Dolly Parton
It Was - Chely Wright
If The Jukebox Took Teardrops - Danni Leigh
What Went Wrong - Lonesome Bob
I Still Miss Someone - Dolly Parton
Nobody - Johnny Cash
No Next Time - Allison Moorer (with Lonesome Bob)
Drive South - Suzy Bogguss
Passionate Kisses - Lucinda Williams
Temptation - Shelby Lynn
Waltzing On The Titanic - Lonesome Bob (with Allison Moorer)
I Walk The Line - Shelby Lynn
Sleepless Nights - Lonesome Bob
We're All Gonna Die Someday - Kasey Chambers

I'm currently listening to new albums by Allison Moorer, Tiff Merritt, Kathleen Edwards, Laura Cantrell, Lucinda Williams and The Be Good Tanyas.

I'm not at all into the style of country you listed, but probably the best upbeat dancing country song I've heard is "Dance The Night Away" by the Mavericks. Great song.
