5 Sexy Country Music Duets

Sex sells! Unfortunately, but it does. Country music sells! Fortunately, it does. I cannot imagine life without music and the more country the better. Country music continues to gain popularity as the songs are more mainstream than old school, but as Tim McGraw once crooned, Things Change and it's all good music if you could feel it in your soul.

Now back to sex selling...here are my five favorite duets.

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw - Let's Make Love This song is my ultimate favorite sexy song. The seduction and sultry manner in which Tim and Faith express their love is so hot that it could melt an iceberg! You could feel their love and admiration for each other. Actually makes me think I am intruding on their time. Well done, McGraw's. Well done!

                                                                   

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood - Remind Me Someone needs to put this fire out! They are smokin' hot! It's a damn good thing that Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Mike Fisher, their spouses aren't insecure in their relationships! Wow! Brad and Carrie offer good advice to couples...often we forget that relationships need to be nurtured or else they wither, reminders serve a good purpose.


                                                    

Shania Twain and Billy Currington - Party For Two Is a fun and sexy song describing what kind of party these two are wanting to throw. This song is delightful duet that oozes sexy cuteness! The video is bright, colorful and energetic which appeals to all ages. This song screams sexy especially when you pair up Shania and Billy Currington.

                                                   

Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert - We Were Us Keith and Miranda together create a sensational duo who scream sex sells! Their voices blend so well together which makes this song's catchy tunes more appealing to the listeners. Their camaraderie in the video via flirtatious, yet fun moves and gestures makes watching their performance a must for country music fans. Yes, KU and ML are telling us that sex along with talent does indeed sell. 
                                           
                                               
Thompson Square - Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not Shawna and Keifer Thompson are a husband/wife country music duo who I bet got that kiss! I have seen them live twice and on both occasions their humor along with their musical talents made this song just as sexy as it sounds. Below is when Thompson Square met the Chickies during a Meet and Greet at Carl Black in Orlando.

                                          


There y'all have it! 5 sexy country music duets that will steam up the windows of any car, back seat or front...chances are you just might get lucky!

5 Saddest Country Music Songs

Country music songs aren't all sad as some naysayers might presume. But there are some country music songs that will touch your heart and soul, these songs will make you feel the pain the words are expressing. This is not a bad thing. Life isn't all rainbows and sunshine. Life has its ups and downs.

The country music songs that I have chosen for this blog are sad to me. In one way or another I can relate to the agony the artist is singing about. 

Country music tells stories. All types of tales. For this I am grateful for country music singers and songwriters. 

Country music's saddest songs might make you cry. They might make you realize that you need a change in your life. 

Sad songs might help you mend a broken relationship or kick a bad habit. They even might make you hug your loved ones more. On the flip side they might make you laugh and realize your life is perfect just the way it is. 

Either way sad songs are melancholy for a reason, you must listen and allow yourself to feel in order to understand the meaning behind the song...enjoy the tunes! 

Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss ... For those who have traveled a path of addiction or know someone who has, this story is for you. For those who have dealt with a cheating partner, this story is for you too. For those who have served in the military and came home anticipating the warm hugs and excitement of your return, but didn't receive that warm welcome...this story is for you. This one song truly packs a punch. 

Drink A Beer by Luke Bryan ... Luke was the youngest of three siblings. He lost his older brother due to a car crash and his sister due to unknown reasons. Luke is the remaining sibling. I can imagine how he or his parents deal with the pain of losing their children/siblings. Yet, they carry on. Those who have lost a loved one can understand. I can understand. The memories of our lost loved ones stays with us and this is how they live on. This song is a tribute to Luke's siblings and to your lost loved ones also. 

Hurt by Johnny Cash ... No words needed. So much sorrow. 

Highway Don't Care by Tim McGraw with Taylor Swift and Keith Urban ... Relationships fail. People come into our lives and leave, we might never fully understand why. People just grow apart. Move on. Most importantly NEVER text and drive! 

Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning by Alan Jackson ... In memory of September 11th a day that no one will ever forget. A day that was heartbreaking for so many. We will always remember where we were and the sorrowful images that we witnessed. RIP to all the innocent souls who lost their lives that day. Be strong to all the brave first responders who continue to suffer health issues due to being heroes. Godspeed. 

There are many, many more sad country songs...this blog is just my top 5 favorites.

5 Sexiest Country Music Songs

Sexy country music songs might make you blush a bit, but I bet you will keep on coming back for more. Over and over again you will want to listen to these songs. Perhaps while just relaxing, or maybe while preparing a romantic dinner with your significant other. You might be having dinner later than planned, but food tends to be over rated at times.


Sexy country music songs make you feel better about yourself. They could help boost your self esteem and they could also help you appreciate your mate. Or, they could make you feel like crap about yourself and make you wish you had a more romantic mate. Either way...try not to be too analytical and just enjoy the moment. 

Sunshine's list of sexiest country music songs might not be the same selections as you would choose, so sit back and watch the videos...you just never know, you might learn some thing new. 

Let's Make Love by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill ... No doubt this song is the SEXIEST country  song! The McGraw's sizzle on screen, smokin' hot! 

Hot Mama by Trace Adkins ... Not only is this song sexy, but it sure is fun too! Now Y'all go out there and show all those hot mama's how much they are appreciated. 

Raining On Sunday by Keith Urban ... Oh heck, I don't care what day of the week it is, or whether it is gently raining or having a monsoon, this song takes sexy to a whole other level. The KU Level of Love!

Must Be Doing Something Right by Billy Currington ... Watching this video is equivalent to having a hot flash! In need of a cold shower yet?

Sangria by Blake Shelton ... I don't know about Y'all, but I feel like I am intruding on this couples private time. Bring on the wine and cheese, please.  

There you have Sunshine's top 5 favorite sexy country songs. You are welcome. Y'all come back now!

Miranda Lambert Country Music Videos

I have been a fan of Miranda Lambert since her hit "Kerosene" was hot on the radio. Her feisty attitude caught my attention and I was hooked! She was often passed by at the award shows since she wasn't that popular, but WOW has Miranda come a long way during her career span.


On April 19, 2015 she swept the Academy of Country Music awards. She won Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year...along with a Milestone Award and made the Guinness Book of World Records for consecutive wins of Female Vocalist of the year, her winning streak continued for her 6th win. Yet, she is so humble and down to earth she still gets nervous speaking to crowds. Seriously? She rocked her acceptance speeches. 



In 2003 Miranda placed third in Nashville Star, which was a reality singing competition. She later signed to Epic Records. For a girl who was born and bred in the state of Texas and raised by parents who were private investigators, and at times the family was living in their car, she has come a long way. 


Miranda now calls Oklahoma her home base along with her hubby, Blake Shelton. Together they are the current reigning King and Queen of Country Music. June and Johnny Cash, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw at one time held this title and they wore it proudly...it is now time to pass the torch to Miranda and Blake. I believe they will also wear their title proudly. (Oops, things have changed.)



From singer, songwriter, business owner, animal activist...Miranda Lambert is a country chick of all trades. I have a feeling Miranda will continue to entertain country music fans for quite a while. Rock on, ML. 

Below are the links that lead to my favorite Miranda Lambert songs...

                                             Kerosene 
  
                                      Mama's Broken Heart

Luke Bryan Country Music Videos

                         

Luke Bryan began his country music career in 2007 using his songwriting talents for other singers. He had no idea that his career was about to take off to super-stardom. Luke then began co-writing and performing his own songs, and works of other songwriters. Between his talent of writing, singing, performing and shaking his money maker to thousands of screaming fans, Luke Bryan became a name that every one seemed to know.

Luke was born in rural Leesburg, GA on July 17, 1976 the youngest of three siblings. During his climb to success both his older brother and older sister passed away. His older brother via a car accident, his older sister via unknown reasons. I can imagine the heartache he has endured since I also lost two siblings while they and I were at a very young age. You never get over the loss, you just learn to adjust.

Yet, with the persuasion of his father Luke continued to follow his dream and made his mark in Nashville. With his big, brilliant smile and charisma Luke literally lights up a room and vast venues. It is difficult not to like Luke and appreciate his hard work and dedication to his craft.




Luke has won endless awards and recognition from his fans, his peers and the country music industry. Entertainer of the Year, Best song, Best video, Breakthrough Artist...the list goes on. The first time I saw Luke in concert was in 2011...he opened for Tim McGraw. I watched and admired how he audience moved and grooved to Luke's tunes. Wow! I said then and there that he needs to start headlining his own tour. Shortly after he did just that. You are welcome, Luke! Kidding! He obviously didn't need my help. Well done, LB! Keep on keeping on!

The links below are my favorite cool country music videos from Luke Bryan...

Faith Hill Country Music Videos

Some might think that Faith Hill has it all. Being married to Tim McGraw is a major bonus, but so are her daughters. Gracie, Maggie and Audrey are blessed to have parents who are country music superstars, yet are grounded and down to earth.

The McGraw girls will benefit greatly from having a private and loving family life instead of becoming another Kardashian Nightmare. Kudos to Tim and Faith for being the exemplary parents they are.

Faith Hill obviously picked up some valuable pointers from her parents. Being adopted as an infant and raised in a christian home has benefited Faith Hill and helped her become the woman she is today. Her first public appearance was at age 7. Faith Hill has come a long way from Star, Mississippi. From flipping burgers at McDonald's to singing Amazing Grace for prisoners...the rest is history.

I hope you enjoy my favorite Cool Country Music Videos by Faith Hill ...







Faith Hill's music will always be some of my favorite country songs ever. Her voice touches deep within your soul. She might not perform as much as she use to because being a mom comes first, but we will always have her music videos when we need a dose of Faith Hill.

I know many fans were upset when Mattel issued the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill barbie dolls. How could we not be upset, the dolls resembled nothing of Tim and Faith. I decided to write Mattel a letter and share my opinion. Click here to read my Letter to Mattel.

Gary Allan Country Music Videos

With or without wearing a stetson, Gary Allan is one fine looking cowboy. Gary is more than just looks, he can belt out some amazing country music songs. He writes songs also! Now, if that's not the "whole package" what else could it possibly be?

I've never had the chance to meet Gary Allan, but I've spoken with people who have and they said he was a laid back, easy-going guy who is still humble to his roots. Born and bred in California and being raised by a mother who believed that her family would appreciate music truly paid off for Gary Allan.

Due to his talent he began performing in honky tonks at age 13. He landed his first recording contract at age 15, but his parents turned it down and had him wait until he finished school and found himself. In the end it all worked out for Gary.

Married three times, two divorces and his third wife committing suicide must have pained Gary some. His songs express some of his heartache. With his country twang I feel every lyric that Gary sings. If you don't feel his music in the videos below...listen again! And again! You'll feel it eventually. Gary Allan excels at songs about rain! Listen and watch for yourself...

Kenny Chesney Country Music Videos

Kenny Chesney, who was born and bred in Tennessee, has taken the country music industry for a whirlwind of a ride. My first favorite song of Kenny's was "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." I must admit that it took me quite a while to reveal I was a fan of that hit. Since I was a new fan to country music and I didn't want my anti-country music friends to think I've flipped my lid. A lot has changed in the past 15 years and I wear my country music fanatic badge proudly.

Kenny Chesney has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. He has more than 30 Top Ten hits under his belt buckle. He keeps on giving his fans what they want, yet they continue to want more. How could they not? Kenny knows how to put on a show. He wears his emotions on his sleeve. How many of you remember the first time Kenny Chesney won, CMT's Entertainer of the Year and he was so overwhelmed that he cried. That moment touched alot of viewers and gained KC many more fans. 

In other words Kenny Chesney is a country rock star!!! I hope you enjoy the videos below. Be sure and TURN IT UP!!!

Tim McGraw Country Music Videos

As a longtime fan of country superstar Tim McGraw it wasn't easy for me to select just a few of my favorite videos of his, but I did my best. If it wasn't for Tim I might never have started listening to country music over 15 years ago. I am very appreciative of the man and his music.

"It's Your Love," the duet Tim performed with his lovely wife, Faith Hill, is the song that captured my heart and made me the country music fanatic I am today.

Tim literally has it all. He is blessed with three beautiful daughters, an acting and singing career. Promotional gigs. And his dad is Hall of Famer Tug McGraw. His mom Betty Trimble, deserves credit for Tim's upbringing and making him the humble man he is today.

Tim McGraw continues to evolve as an entertainer. Whether he's singing on stage or acting on the big screen, he always gives his best performance.

Here is just a sampling of some of my favorite Tim McGraw videos...

Taylor Swift Country and Pop Music Videos



By now most everyone has heard of Taylor Swift. She's a country music megastar. Some might think she's more pop than country. Either way she continues to sell out her concerts and entertains fans of all ages. In my family her fans ages range from 2 years old to 64 years old.

You can't help but like Taylor Swift, she's continues to remain humble even though she reigns in popularity. I do wonder if she has ever thanked Kanye West for interrupting her...no bid deal. Taylor will always be a star, unlike Kanye.

In addition we are all a bit curious on who her next boyfriend will be and which next megahit he'll inspire. Way to Taylor! Keep your country/pop songs coming and we'll keep listening.

These are my favorite Taylor Swift songs and videos:





Blank Space

Shake It Off 


This is just a short selection of her songs. Taylor continues to surprise us with each hit she personally creates. I wrote some Random Fun Facts about Ms. Swift ...I hope you enjoy my article.

Keith Urban Country Music Videos



I ask you...what's not to love about Keith Urban, the Thunder from Down Under? Keith wears his emotions on his sleeve and he's not afraid to show it. He sings his smash hits with the same emotions that he shares with his fans. While jamming along to KU's songs you can't help but feel good!

Married to Nicole Kidman and a dad to two girls, Sunday Rose and Faith, it seems that Keith Urban has it all. In my opinion he does! I also feel he deserves every bit of happiness because he gives his all to his listeners. Monkeyville is his Fan Club and as a fellow Monkey I'm proud to dedicate this shout-out to KU.

I also wrote a blog that includes some Random Facts about Keith Urban!
