Forum MVP found Posted February 14, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Big Iron made a fatal slip and is no longer with us. Gotta eliminate one so we can get to the best. This round should be interesting with Big Iron out of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP bs69 Posted February 14, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I went with Mexicali. I like the song fine, but I don't think I have heard one that really blew me away. Always a role player and never the star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedbert Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm going to stick with Mama Tried. Still rooting for an El Paso/Me & My Uncle final but based on votes tallied I won't hold my breath for El Paso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 14, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Listen to the Nashville 77 style super rockin El Paso and it will change your mind. Again I hate this thread as it bugs me hearing people rag songs I like :/. Heard El Paso 2x on winter tour and I thoroughly enjoyed both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP found Posted February 14, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm glad you thoroughly enjoyed El Paso on this tour. No one's ragging on anything though. It's all for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Mango Posted February 15, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I picked Mexicali but that doesn't meant I don't enjoy the song. I love Big Iron. El Paso- are you kidding me?? Best cowboy song. So psychedelic. Come on Found, get in the saddle and ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonPollockDancer Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I like the story in el paso, but I like it in mexicali too. And I just have more fun to mexicali as well. and rudedog, from the last poll. "I picked a good one, he looks like he could run" that's it brother!

the highway terror Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I say drop Me and My Uncle, it was played by the Dead more than any other song in their repertoire ( over 800 performances ) so I've heard enough of that one JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP found Posted February 17, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'll let this go until midnight tomorrow and then set up round 3 on Wednesday morning. Soon the mystery of the best bobby cowboy song will be solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 17, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I like that this is more about "finding the best" than ragging on songs. It is a hard question now….. I will go with Mama Tried cause no matter its placement, it never much goes anywhere. Other cowboy tunes show up outside of the "cowboy slot" and I LOVE THEM THERE, but I don't think Mama Tried ever amounts to much more than a quick cowboy tune (PLEASE correct me if wrong!) and I don't have any memory of dancing at DSO to Mama Tried and being like "WHOAAA that was awesome" whereas the other tunes I have distinct memories of enjoying very thoroughly. I like the lyrics and the music and all, it just doesn't seem to ever take me anywhere, personally. go, Found, this is fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP found Posted February 18, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Not a single vote for Big River in this round or the first round. There's a clear favorite but that could all change in the championship round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted February 18, 2014 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 It ought to be a shoot out between big river and El Paso. Jerry is a beast in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mexicali is a Monster. Always has been. Always will be. That tune rages. I would only consider the cover tunes. The Weir/Barlow collaboration is among the best american musical compositon ever written in my opinion....Should not even be on this list.... ..

Forum MVP found Posted February 19, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Dude, you are so missing the point. It is to find out the BEST bobby cowboy song. And the way to do that is to eliminate them one by one. I agree with you. I think Mexicali is a great song. Great lyrics, great melody, great chord changes, super fun and bouncy. But that's the way it goes. Not everyone agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Charlie Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I cant believe El Paso is gonna take out Mexicali. Well to each his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
