Dancin' Boots

[Farrell Jackson]

You all know that genre means nothing to me so here's something a little different. I needed to do something simple and off the beaten path so I could get my recording mojo back. My sister in-law loves to line dance and once mentioned I should do a country line dancing song, so here it is...well maybe it's a country line dancing blues song, lol. Credits: all me.

Dancin' Boots (Farrell Jackson © 07-10-23)

(V1) She's been waiting for Friday night
A party's goin' on that just feels right
She wants to see all of her best friends
Let her hair down, drink some gin
Slippin' and slidin' across the floor
Two steppin', line dancin' that's the cure

(V2) Good conversations...a drink or two
She can't wait to hit the floor with big Lou
Singing and dancing to her favorite song
"Somebody's done somebody wrong"
If it's a waltz, she can do that
If it's a twist, play something fast

(Chr) She's not looking for romance
Just wants to spin, swing and dance
Doesn't want her heart stepped upon
She's got her dancin' boots on

(Guitar and blues harp solos)

(V3) She don't need yoga, don't need a gym
A heart pounding beat and let the dancin' begin
It keeps her in shape, puts a smile on her face
Dancin' on Friday at her favorite place
Puttin' one foot in front of the other
Boot scootin' boogie with one another

(2Xs Chr) She's not looking for romance
Just wants to swing and dance
Doesn't want her heart stepped upon
She's got her dancin' boots on

She's got her dancing boots on
She's got her dancing boots on
She's got her dancing boots on

Yes cool country vibe, loving the guitar break, harmonica and vocals too.

damn skippy this is shit hot!  Yeah, if this is country I want a double helping.... this got roots real deep in the blues...but I think country folks would be cool with this.... cause it rocks... yeah.

smoking guitar work, drums, bass...vocals... really like the progression...

like you genre doesn't matter much to me.... but I will take this and sit my fanny down and not move as long as it all sounds this good.

I hope she loves it and sounds like a really fun lady!

I dig it.  Cool lyrics and vocal - I might even make the vocal a touch louder in the mix. Love the rhythm guitar, especially the part during the harp solo.  Talented playing all around.  Is that real harp?

A song by Cuz I haven't heard!!!! Great little rock and roller. Nice bridge and breakdown with some cool harpin'. Sort of thing I do when I need to get the mojo back working full steam. A good honest rock and roller

Thanks Des and all! Yes, I'm playing the harmonica. It's a Hohner Pro Harp key of A. I'll give the vocal another listen, thanks! Note: I've since added more compression to the overall mix which seems to give better presence to the vocals.

Love this, Farrell. Country/ blues at its best. Excellent vocals and guitar work. I could see my wife doing her line-dancing to this one.

Rocks my wheel-house just right. I'm feeling it for sure! That break into the harp at 1:45 brings it all home! Too cool!

"Shit Hot" is what the US Navy Aviators would call this indeed.

Great country rock and roll chords, and perfect line dancing swinging beat.

Fantastic work.

I could see this one getting somewhere on country radio if a big name person recorded it.

Great stuff....real cool feeling ..... love it
