heavy_metal_good_ol_boy Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I thin Toby Keith would be a good choice since him and Willie are close. As far as I know anyway. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJohnson Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 My vote would go for Jason Boland & The Stragglers. They've got a great sound, and alot of people think he'd make a great balladeer. Somewhere there's a cover of him doing Good Ol' Boys.

brosnanfan Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I think it should be Josh Turner. It has been said he is the new Waylon Jennings/Johnny Cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the dukes Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I think the LAST of the roadmen should be the nariator. Chirs Christopherson. Would that not be just perfect. There is Willie, there was Wallan, and there is Chris, and there was Johnny Cash. What a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I think the LAST of the roadmen should be the nariator. Chirs Christopherson. Would that not be just perfect. There is Willie, there was Wallan, and there is Chris, and there was Johnny Cash. What a group.Yeah - The Highwaymen were one of countrys first supergroups. It would be kind of fitting to have Kris Kristofferson be the balladeer. Since the others are/were involved in the Dukes somehow.1. Willie Nelson - Uncle Jesse in the new movie2. Waylon Jennings - The original balladeer for the series3. Johnny Cash - A song on the DOH soundtrack/story CD - "General Lee" 4. Kris Krsitofferson - ??????????I think Kris would make a good balladeer after all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethie88 Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 It's going to be Mel Tillis. Is it really? That's pretty cool, since he was in an episode in Season 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julieduke Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Listen to his Jim Croce cover of "You don't mess around with Jim" and listen to "Big, Bad Boss"they are alike in tune. And also they need the song on the soundtrack of course Josh Turner singing it thow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futt Buckley Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think it should be Josh Turner. It has been said he is the new Waylon Jennings/Johnny Cash.WHO said Josh freakin Turner is the next Waylon or Johnny. That's a flat out insult. There will never be a "new" one of them. Legends are legends, and are beyond compare. . . . .Josh Turner, in my opinion, isn't much. I doubt he'll amount to crap in the long run.I say Toby Keith would make a good balladeer, based soley on his vocal quality. His new song, Honky Tonk U got me to thinking about how he'd sound doing the Dukes Theme. Might be pretty good. . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralLefty Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 First of all it's the HIGHWAYMEN and it's Kris Kristofferson.Second the ballader should be Hank Williams Jr.Who better Waylon was like a father to Hank and since Waylon or Johnny aren't around anymore it should be Hank or Kris.

heavy_metal_good_ol_boy Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Josh Turner is the next Waylon? The way he looks, he's the next Billy Ray Cyrus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudDuke Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I think it should be Josh Turner. It has been said he is the new Waylon Jennings/Johnny Cash.NO ONE WILL REPLACE WAYLON! Especially Josh Turner and his Long Orange Train. They should just use the old song on the new movie and not redo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 According to the IMDB , they show no one cast as the Balladeer. Maybe they will do that in Post Production. It won't take much to voice over the film. Maybe we will find out soon enough if there is going to be one or not in the filmYou would think they would use a "Balladeer" as it was a huge part of the Dukes Of Hazzard .

bethie88 Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I agree... The Balladeer was too important to be left out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divia Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Last week when they had the marathon on CMT they had some entertainment show and they showed some clips of the actors etc. They said there was no balladeer at the moment. They hadnt found one yet. Im guessing that there will be one, but they havent figured out who..or arent telling. And I agree its too important to leave out.

heavy_metal_good_ol_boy Posted March 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well, the way this movie is already messed up, I wouldn't be a bit shocked if they did leave the balladeer out. I'd be mad but shocked? Nope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneyDuke Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Anyone considered Jerry Reed? I think he'd do alright as "Balladeer". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbaDuke Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Jerry Reid would be pretty good as the balladeer. And Divia is right I saw that show and they said that the balladeer had not been cast YET, and also that Willie will be singing the theme song.

heavy_metal_good_ol_boy Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yeah, but would Jerry Reed take the part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Coltrane Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Since when is Jerry Reed that picky about his gigs? I think he'd be a good pick for the role, though!Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximRecoil Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I think that John Schneider should be The Balladeer and sing the theme song. It would be a great way to tie at least one original cast member into the movie and Schneider would be more than up to the task. It isn't like the man can't sing. He had number one U.S. Country chart hits with:"I've Been Around Enough To Know""Country Girls""What's A Memory Like You (Doing In A Love Like This)?""You're The Last Thing I Needed Tonight"Along with several U.S. Country charts top 10 songs.
