July 29, 200422 yr Hi Y'all...First post on here..Just thinking what the soundtrack might be like and who can even come come close to redoing Good Ol' Boys..My thinking is that it might more of a country soundtrack with maybe a southern rock song thrown in..Any ideas??
July 30, 200422 yr I agree it's gotta be mostly country but some Southern Rock here and there would make it even better.
July 30, 200422 yr Hmmm....although I would prefer they use the original Waylon version of Good Ol' Boys, if they're going to redo it (and more than likely they will) I think they should have Travis Tritt sing it. As for other songs in the soundtrack, there's another thread we have that mentions the likes of Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, ect... perhaps contributing tunes (new or old). I think a Willie Nelson tune would be appropriate. "New" country acts that I think would make great contributions would be Trick Pony, Alan Jackson, and that guy that sang that song that goes, "here's to the past, they can kiss my glass I hope she's happy with him...." Argh, that's gonna bug me all day now because I can't remember his name! Anyway, amongst other possible acts. Nashville could really have a field day with this. =)As for Southern Rock.....can we say Lynyrd Skynyrd?? ROFL. Little Allman Bros. thrown in as well.And above all....they really oughta have a Waylon Jennings song in there.
July 30, 200422 yr Author I was thinking the same thing with Travis Tritt...He also would make a good balladeer...
October 15, 200421 yr Yeah! Southern Rock and Country!!! A "Good Old Boys" version by Lynyrd Skynyrd wouldn't be too bad either! The movie makers could smash in different versions! Maybe at the end of the movie (I mean when all the credits and names are shown. Don't know the English name for it, sorry! Or is it the credits?) Maybe also a version of that song by Hank Jr. and Kid Rock. Travis Tritt would also make the job! Any Hank 3 I'd also like to hear. Outlaw Rockabilly Roxxx! Also some wicked Bluegrass stuff. Maybe with Dwight! I could go on forever...... Rock on!
October 15, 200421 yr Author A lot of great Southern Rock and country would make this soundtrack. Let's hope the people in charge of the music don't screw this up .
October 16, 200421 yr They'll screw it up by having Justin Timberlake singing the theme song.They'll also have Limp Bizkit, Linken Park, Korn, etc.Just kidding!
October 18, 200421 yr Author Only if kid Rock can do a song like Picture or Only God Knows Wny, along the lines where he sings and not shouts the song.......I like Kid Rock, but I like his more acoustic stuff better....
October 24, 200421 yr Of course some Country Kid Rock stuff! Anyone knows his and Kenny Chesney's duett version of "luckenbach Texas" on the Waylon Jennings tribute CD? Kix some serious ass!!!
October 24, 200421 yr Joe Nichols the song is "Bokenheartsville". I would also like to see Chris Cagle ("Laredo") on the soundtrack. How about this, James Hetfield (Metallica) re-recording "Good Ole Boys"? What do ya think?
October 25, 200421 yr Joe Nichols! Thank you! (I eventually figured out the title of the song but couldn't get the name of the singer). LOL
October 25, 200421 yr Author I don't think James Hetfield is the right fit to sing Good Ol' Boys.I don't know about him though. I didn't think he was as good as I hoped when Metallica did Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone. Not a bad version though. I would love to see Rhett Atkins redo it. I love his version of the Eddie Rabbit song - Drivin' My Life Away from the Black Dog(Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis) soundtrack. He kicks tail on that song. There are probably so many people we can all come up with to re do Good Ol' Boys. And a lot of artists will do it proud if they ever redid it., well they better do it right. Darrell
October 27, 200421 yr Hey, we're easy to convince on that one. But Hollywood is callin' the shots. WB is not about to pass up the opportunity of makin' fresh money on new tunes...rather than pay renewed royalties on ol' Waylon's number.But Waylon's "Good Ole Boys" theme song will always be the true Dukes theme, far as I'm concerned. Sadly, it wasn't used in either of the Dukes TV reunion movies, if I recall correctly.Brian
November 8, 200421 yr Author Anyone watch the Outlaws concert on CMT last week. With all the people on there like Montgomery Gentry, Kid Rock , Gretchen Wilson, Hank Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Big & Rich, I think that would give us a glimpse of what direction the music should go in. That would be the ideal line-up . But the producers might go with some other artists. I guess getting the rights and liscenses for the songs is another story. Darrell
November 9, 200421 yr Here is MY idea, and in my personal oppinion, is the best idea. "The Good Ol Boys"Written by: Waylen JeningsPreformed by: Waylen JeningsReproduced by permission by:Randy TravisContribute preformance by: Randy Travis In other words, Randy Travis is the best nominee to do the "Good Ol` Boys". What y'all thank?TRULY YOURS: Skye
November 12, 200421 yr What about Toby Keith. He was on the D.o.H. Goes t o Hollywood. He would do good on the theme song.
November 12, 200421 yr All this mention of Kid Rock goin' on from the previous page,ya know what I think...he would have made a good Cooter for the movie.....maybe?
December 2, 200421 yr I definately agree with most all of this.....but.....I definately do not want any new songs in it! and they need to stick with the original version of The Good Ole Boys. can't beat waylons version!...just my thoughts on it!
