"Johnny & June" (Heidi Newfield)

[DJMC]

I played this for the first time -- yesterday -- for a bride who was not really into C/W per se.

I've had this song for a while but this was the first request.

Judging from the response of this bride (and her crowd)...it could be another one of those "sleeper" C/W hits?

Or did someone already alert about this song, and I missed it?

It's been pretty popular around here since the summer. She opened for ZZ Top and Brooks and Dunn during the summer and I believe she's currently opening for Montgomery Gentry.

Saw her in August and when she sang that song, the crowd went nuts.

FYI: She's a former vocalist for the Country group - Trick Pony.

Not one of my favorites...hopefully it'll die before I have to play it.

I used this for a First Dance back in June, but the entire playlist was country. I haven't played it since.

I haven't run into this song, but thanks for the heads up!

This song was in heavy rotation on the local country stations... still gets played but not as often now.... I like the song.

I played it once, during background music....saw the Bride perk up and smile, say "he's playing our song".

I think she wanted it for 1st dance, but the Groom had picked "She's Everything" (Brad Paisley) instead.

Played it again at the end of the evening and got several couples to dance to it. Not bad for a new song.
