Though the leader of the Parrotheads' name might look out of place here, this dive bar-ready stomper is among the album's strongest blends of rock fervor and country pride.
A blues-rock guitar god and Eagles member, Joe Walsh puzzle-pieces in perfectly as an out-of-genre guest. It makes even more sense now as a honky-tonk night out banger after the classic rockification of Nashville that took place in the '90s.
The late Dan Folgelberg ups the guitar rock factor more so than even Walsh with this song about the hardscrabble, city-dwelling element of the Urban Cowboyimage that turned the nightclub crowd into western wear shoppers.
It could be argued that Bob Seger's rootsy, bluesy take on the rock music of the time made him Americana before Americana was cool. Thus, he and his Silver Bullet Band fit a country-themed soundtrack via a song with an added tinge of ZZ Top's Texas-drenched sound.
Gilley benefitted from Urban Cowboy beyond the popularity boost for Gilley's, the Texas bar at the heart of the film. After all, this sentimental take on a Ben E. King classic became one of his 17 No. 1 hits.
The Urban Cowboymoment paid off years of hard work for Gilley and Lee, a fellow Texan. The spotlight on Lee brought us this, the most arresting traditional country song on a soundtrack that includes the undeniably great "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." It was written by a third Texas native who'd long deserved this platform, Michael Martin Murphey...
One of this Canadian country legend's signature hits stands up against Lee and Charlie Daniels' work when it comes to which songs on the soundtrack sound the most old fashioned. It's a slow dance-worthy love ballad that could've been a hit for any number of artists at other points in country music history. It won Murray her second Grammy award for ...
Azoff's ideal band for the film soundtrack made the cut with this, the group's only Top 40 country song from the '70s. It's a benchmark of country-rock, for sure, between Glenn Frey's emotive lead vocal performance and vocal harmonies plucked directly from country music tradition.
Lee cemented his spot atop the Urban Cowboysoundtrack heap with another steel guitar-laden stunner that shows his sensitive side and pushes to the forefront his God-given talent as a vocal stylist.
Like Seger, Bonnie Raitt set up shop long before the '80s at the intersection of roots music and rock 'n' roll, making her ideal for for the Urban Cowboymoment. Plus, this selection is traditional instrument-fueled Texas dancehall music (circa 1980) at its finest. "Don't It Make Ya Wanna Dance" is an often-covered song by Austin songwriting legend ...
