Friends in Low Places is one of the tracks on the first Karaoke Revolution (and it's one of the easier ones. Pretty limited range, slow.
Except for that low E on "be okay". I have to go into vocal fry to hit that.

(Learned -that- from Family Guy. "It's just Garth Brooks in a wig!" ... "That’s it! (Your punishment now is to listen to) every single track plus the hidden bonus track!" "There’s a hidden bonus track? Oh, I hope it’s a ballad.")

Bonus Garth Brooks trivia: He held out until last month to release his music digitally.
I own all of his albums except a few greatest hits compilations. This means I'm missing a few of his later tracks, but outside "Good Ride Cowboy" and "More Than a Memory" (and maybe "Midnight Sun"), they're really not worth having.

Well, I did say easieR, not easiest.

And I was wrong; it's on Vol. 2. apparently (it -has- been a decade since I played it...yet it did leave a pretty memorable mark, even if I can't remember what song was on which disc.)

Compared to, say, Toxic or White Flag, Friends in Low Places is practically cheating.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Doubt it, as it wasn't released under Chris' name, and the illusion at least is that they are two separate people. It's like saying "Wrecking Ball" is a Hanna Montana track.

Leadbelly is Country? That's the first I've heard of that.

...but the senator, while insisting he was not intoxicated, could not explain his nudity.

If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

Well, 'country blues' anyway. I thought it to be a subset of country but I guess it's supposed to be a subset for blues. Can someone be a country artist without that being their main gig? How many songs or albums does a country artist make?

I'm pretty patchy on anything before 1960 or so when it comes to country, so this is the first I'd heard of him.

It was a rebellion led by a man named Bacon, so I think you'd get away with it.

It would be awesome if I did get credit. It depends on the judges. Sometimes borderline responses like that are accepted, some are not. Thank you for letting me feel free to count it in my Coryat. :)
