Friday Throwback

Damn, how didn't we see Reba's acting chops would lead to a middle-of-the-road sitcom later in her career?

Reba brings it big in this Dolly Parton-meets-CSI video for "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia." Does anyone else get an Angela Lansbury circa "Murder She Wrote" vibe from the production job on this video?

DOUBLE Friday Throwback

Due to last week's lack of throwbackage, let's do a double dose of George muthafuckin' Strait for this week's throwback.

First up, "How About Them Cowgirls", complete with excellent fan video:



The second Strait-up dose of country is the official video for "Check Yes Or No", which is so heartwarming it almost hurts. I check yes.

BFMH

Friday throwbacks.

So for the first week of BFMH, we're introducing a feature that you'll see every Friday as you kick off the weekend with some ice-cold American beers, barbeques and skin-tight Wrangler jeans: the Friday throwback.

This blog is about the fresh country cuts, but to kick your weekend off right, we want to drop some 80's and 90's contemporary country jams. These are the big guns of country radio right here, killin' it with the sounds that moved country and western music into the arena-sized country we know and love here on BFMH.

It's only fair that we kick this feature off with Mr. Alan Jackson's "Chatahoochee", because I think this first week of BFMH also taught us a lot about living and a little 'bout love. Also, dude knows how to rock a seriously bitchin' floatation vest! And really, Kenny Chesney's island vibes owe a lot to Jackson's lake-borne easy-going vibe and torn jeans.

These are the mulleted and mustachioed heroes of contemporary country music, and each week, we'll salute them.
