Comment:

By the time John Travolta — repeat, John "Vinnie Barbarino," "Stayin' Alive" Travolta — rode a mechanical bull to superstardom in [i]Urban Cowboy[/i], country style had crossed over to the mainstream in every way, and nowhere more so than in its music. Charlie Daniels pulls his Stetson way down low and cranks his fiddle way up high, burning down the hangar-sized cow palace that was Gilley's in [i]Urban Cowboy[/i]'s "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." In "The Gambler," grey-bearded Kenny Rogers not only parlays his "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em," parched-throated counseling course to a #1 hit, but also into a string of TV movies starring . . . Kenny Rogers. And Jerry Reed's banjo-and-git'-pickin' hunk of hillbilly heaven, "East Bound and Down," powered [i]Smokey and the Bandit[/i] into our national psyche and hot-rods its way into the new millennium as the theme (and title) of Will Ferrell's HBO series. But don't stop there — from "Convoy" and "You Light Up My Life" to Dolly Parton and Glen Campbell, we've got every rhinestone-sportin', downtown honky-tonk jukebox favorite closer'n your salad-plate-sized belt buckle.
