So, let's get down to it.
For each letter of the A to Z, I'm going to give you a KEYWORD. You post in the comments a song with that word in the title. I will give you one to start (along with a video). If you like, you can go to YouTube and embed your video in the comments, so that readers can also listen to your song. No repeats and only post one song so that everyone can participate. If you're just brimming with songs, come back in a few days and lay it on me! If you want to see who else is participating in the A to Z click here. Special thanks to Arlee Bird and the A to Z team who make this possible!

If you can think of more songs from previous letters and WANT to post
them now, feel free to go back and add them:)
It's a new day and a new letter!
Today I'll be combining the challenge with Battle of the Bands, which pits two covers of the same song against one another. Listen to each and then vote on your favorite. Approximately one week later, I'll tally up the votes and post the winner based on your votes.
What is the KEYWORD?
That leads to my choice in song: HER MAN.
I'm only aware of two recordings of this song. I'm sure if there are others, you guys will tell me! Interestingly enough, I was very familiar with Gary Allan's version of Her Man and up until about a year ago thought it was his song. Ha! Stephen T. McCarthy is a huge Waylon Jennings fan and sent me a link of some of his favorite Waylon songs. Turns out, one of the ones he sent me was Her Man. I didn't tell him about Gary's cover (because I knew this day would come eventually). Let's get to it...
First up is Waylon Jennings:
VS.
Gary Allan:
Please vote for the version of this song you prefer. If you want to get into the Ins and Outs of why you like one better than the other... I LOVE long comments!

Did you vote? Did you post a comment with the keyword? You can post just the song and artist who sang it OR you can embed the video by copy/pasting the code in the search bar. You can also use variations on man like men or manly. It just has to have man in it. Go crazy!
