 Ok folks, you all asked for it so here it is. Clay Walker was one of the 90's most underrated artists, but his career is stacked with great material so this should be fun. Although he could never match the early success of his first two albums (5 #1's in his first 6 singles), he continued to score hits well into the 2000's, even after several label changes and a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. He was always one of my very favorites, so hopefully those less familiar will enjoy his full catalogue. I've included all of his singles, his two charting album cuts, and to make it an even 40 songs - two other favorites of mine. Song List:
"What's It to You"
"Live Until I Die"
"Where Do I Fit in the Picture"
"Dreaming with My Eyes Open"
"If I Could Make a Living"
"This Woman and This Man"
"My Heart Will Never Know"
"Who Needs You Baby"
"Hypnotize the Moon"
"Only on Days That End in "Y""
"Bury the Shovel"
"Rumor Has It"
"One, Two, I Love You"
"Watch This"
"Then What?"
"Ordinary People"
"You're Beginning to Get to Me"
"She's Always Right"
"Live, Laugh, Love"
"The Chain of Love"
"Once in a Lifetime Love"
"Say No More"
"If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again"
"A Few Questions"
"I Can't Sleep"
"Jesus Was a Country Boy"
"'Fore She Was Mama"
"Fall"
"She Likes It in the Morning"
"She Won't Be Lonely Long"
"Where Do I Go from You"
"Like We Never Said Goodbye"
"Jesse James"
"Right Now"
"Working on Me"
"Change"
"White Palace"
"Holding Her And Loving You"
"The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two"
"Double Shot Of John Wayne"
Here's a Spotify playlist for those interested. Clay's RCA singles are not on Spotify (that whole album is difficult to find, except for I Can't Sleep), but here are YouTube videos. A Few QuestionsI Can't Sleep Jesus Was A Country BoySpotify has re-recorded versions of "I Can't Sleep" and "Jesus Was A Country Boy", but the attached are the versions that appeared on A Few Questions and were sent to radio. The deadline for this is Saturday, November 30th. Hopefully that's enough time for everyone. I want to try and get reveals going in December and wrap this up in 2019.

Clay is one of my two favorite artists that debuted in 1993 (the other being Shawn Camp) and he’s yet another artist from the 90’s that I grew up with on country radio and saw his debut song and video “What’s It to You” on CMT quite a bit back then. I remember going out to buy his self-titled album as soon as it came out and had it on repeat and I would continue to always buy his albums throughout the years. And even though he’s a native Texan I’ve yet to catch one of his shows (he was around this area last month but I went to see Gretchen Peters that same night).

So excited for this, Clay is one of my favorite Male artists, his single material was always great!

I've been listening to a lot of Clay the past few weeks (and the Christmas cd!) perfecting my list, will definitely have it in by the cut off! :) I'm also  that If I Could Make a Living is only 2:12 in length. I thought for sure something was wrong with my file. |

His cover of ETC’s Holding Her And Loving You was good.

It goes without saying that of course I will get a list in. I just need to hurry up and do it :) An extension would definitely help, but I'll get it done either way!

if I could have until Sunday evening that would help a lot, haven't had a lot of time to sit down and do rankdowns lately so I'm a little behind but I really want to participate in this one!

Just submitted mine too. I was familiar with his 90s stuff, but his later material was a first listen for me.

1. What will be #1? “If I Could Make a Living” or “Rumor Has It”
2. What will be last place? “Once In a Lifetime Love” or “Jesus Was a Country Boy”
3. Which other songs will be in the top 5? “If I Could Make a Living”, “Rumor Has It”, “She Won’t Be Lonely Long”, “Hypnotize the Moon”, and either “Fall” or “Dreaming With My Eyes Open”
4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? “A Few Questions”
5. Which songs will be the least polarizing? “If I Could Make a Living”
6. Which late-career hit will do better? "Fall", or "She Won't Be Lonely Long"? I’m going to guess “She Won’t Be Lonely Long” but I’ve learned to expect the unexpected....
7. Which non-top 10 song will do the best? Which top 10 song will do the worst? Hoping his best non-top 10 song will be “If You Ever Feel Like Loving Me Again” as that is such an underrated gem...and as far as his most underperforming top 10 song I’ll guess it might be either “I Can’t Sleep” or “A Few Questions”
8. Two different songs received both a first and last place vote! Any guesses what they were? Hmm...I’ll guess something something random like “Fore She Was Mama” or possibly even “Live Until I Die”
9. Any other thoughts/predictions??? As someone who grew up with Clay on country radio and was right there at Walmart to purchase his first album I’m both nervous and anxious to see these results...which I do expect will be quite varied!

1. What will be #1? "If I Could Make a Living" or bust!
2. What will be last place? Maybe one of the songs from his recent indie album (Long Live the Cowboy).
3. Which other songs will be in the top 5? I also think "Live Until I Die," "Dreaming with My Eyes Open," and "Rumor Has It" seem like contenders. "She Won't Be Lonely Long" might be up there as well.
4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? "She Likes It in the Morning"
5. Which songs will be the least polarizing? "If I Could Make a Living" (if anyone puts this lower than top 15 they might as well just delete their account now...)
6. Which late-career hit will do better? "Fall", or "She Won't Be Lonely Long"? "She Won't Be Lonely Long"
7. Which non-top 10 song will do the best? Which top 10 song will do the worst? Best: "Where Do I Fit in the Picture" | Worst: "I Can't Sleep"
8. Two different songs received both a first and last place vote! Any guesses what they were? Oh God, I have no idea on this one. Random guesses are "Then What?" and "Like We Never Said Goodbye."
