Songs about Dads

I guess you know that people read your blog when they write to feel alienated. That happened this past week when Aviva Dunsiger checked me about my post dealing with rock songs that didn’t make a top 50 list. “Why not country?”, she asked as she passed along this link. Figuring into this was Will Gourley’s terrific post about being a father.

Any “Top #” list opens it up to people who want to add to it. So here I am.

Now, I come to my music appreciation honestly. Growing up, there were two stations that played for us – CKLW and CKNX. Between the two of them, I got a good background in rock, Motown, and country music.

I took a look at the list that Aviva provided and I knew so many of them. But, of course, there were some left off the list. And, here they are! Well, at least ten more of them.

“Mr. Mom” – Lonestar

“My Last Name” – Dierks Bentley

“Highway 20 Ride” – Zac Brown Band

“Song For Dad” – Keith Urban

“He Walked on Water” – Randy Travis 

“The Walk” – Sawyer Brown

“You Should Be Here” – Cole Swindell

“There You’ll Be” – Faith Hill

“I Wish I Could Have Been There” – John Anderson

“Cat’s in the Cradle” – Harry Chapin
(maybe not pure country but still an awesome song)

Ball’s in your court. Can you add to the list?
