First Half Country, 2009

Way behind in my country listening, but my top 10 is already up to 17, and this is only mid year. I'd expect Lex (and possibly Moggy and Cis) to like the womanly tracks by Sarah Buxton and Jamie O'Neal (who have even better tracks than these on their résumés); don't know who if any o' youse over in Britain will like summer breezes like "Runaway" and "Barefoot And Crazy" and "Summer Nights" and "Out Last Night" and "Sideways."

1. Love And Theft "Runaway"
2. Jamey Johnson "High Cost Of Living"
3. Sarah Buxton "Space"
4. Caitlin & Will "Even Now"
5. Taylor Swift "You Belong With Me"
6. Sarah Borges And The Broken Singles "Do It For Free"
7. Taylor Swift "White Horse"
8. Jack Ingram "Barefoot And Crazy (Double Dog Dare Ya Mix)"
9. Brooks & Dunn f. Reba McEntire "Cowgirls Don't Cry"
10. Rascal Flatts "Summer Nights"
11. Randy Houser "Boots On"
12. John Rich "Shuttin' Detroit Down"
13. Jamie O'Neal "Like A Woman"
14. Kenny Chesney "Out Last Night"
15. Dierks Bentley "Sideways"
16. Holly Williams "Keep The Change"
17. Collin Raye "Mid-Life Chrysler"
