I find that mixing it up with country and some pop thrown in make it more palatable for the non-country folks.


Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd

Life Is a Highway – Rascal Flatts

Run- George Strait

Speed- Montgomery Gentry

Bless the Broken Road – Rascal Flatts

On the Road Again- Willie Nelson

I've Been Everywhere- Johnny Cash

Good Vibrations- The Beach Boys

Willow -Taylor Swift-

John Deere Green- Joe Diffy

Check Yes or No- George Strait

Life is a Highway is a Chris Ledoux cover. He might actually fit the bill for what OP wants. I like his more cowboy stuff, but he has some hits like Even Cowboys Like a Little Bit of Rock N Roll. 8 Second Ride is another pump up song.

PP here. Pretty sure it's a Tom Cochrane cover.

Another one:

Fancy Like- Walker Hayes

PP here, thanks! Didn’t know that, just knew Chris Ledoux was much earlier. He was still a great artist. Sounds like OP wants bro music, not good country.

I would start with mostly pop-country stuff to let them get some kind of an ear for it before going into anything with too much drawl or twang.

"One Big Country Song" by LoCash
"Hard to Forget" Sam Hunt
"Cruise" Florida Georgia Line, or the remix w/ Nelly
"whiskey glasses"

Things along those lines. Maybe some stuff that's more "authentic" but still accessible, along the lines of "chicken fried" or "take a back road" by Rodney Atkins.

Morgan Wallen writes good songs.

he didn't write whiskey glasses and I doubt contributed much to the other. I would agree with the statement of he puts out good songs though
