Deluxe Edition tracks that should have made the album

[someguy]

What are some deluxe edition tracks that you think should have made the regular album, over some songs that did.

Some I can think of:

Jennifer Nettles - "His Hands" (That Girl)
Jennifer Nettles - "Every Little Thing" (That Girl)
Martina McBride - "Perfect" (Everlasting)
Martina McBride - "You're In My House Now" (Eleven)
Reba McEntire - "I'll Take Your Heart" (If You See Him)
Luke Bryan & Jason Aldean - "Your Mama Should've Named You Whiskey" (Crash My Party)

[.indulgecountry]

Ashton Shepherd - What If It Was (Where Country Grows)
Josh Turner - Let's Find a Church (Haywire)
Rascal Flatts - Next to You, Next to Me (Changed) and Compass (Rewind)
Sara Evans - Cabana Boy (Stronger)*
All three bonus tracks from Kellie Pickler

*This album wasn't long enough to begin with. Or it could've replaced the pointless Bluegrass remix of "Born to Fly."

Florida Georgia Line, "What Are You Drinking About".

Hands down the best thing they've ever recorded IMO.

[minha2cp]

Blake Shelton - "Chances" (Pure BS)
Blake Shelton - "Addicted" (Red River Blue)
Blake Shelton - "I Found Someone" (Based On A True Story...)
Miranda Lambert - "I Just Really Miss You" (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)
Martina McBride - "You're In My House Now" (Eleven)

Always felt that was a missed single opportunity from them. Super catchy and a song that could've given them a bit of the "we do other stuff" feel "Dirt" has provided.

Is Aldean on that song? I haven't heard a version with him singing on it, if so, I'm gonna be really upset I hadn't yet. Love Luke's version.

[gonecountry]

Country and Cold Cans - Dierks (from the Target version of Home CD)
Annie, I Owe You A Dance - Tim (from Two Lanes of Freedom)

[Hefty Hanna]

Quicksand.
Amnesia.
Trouble.

Basically every Circus bonus track.

The version I have (from the physical deluxe version of Crash My Party) is Luke featuring Jason. Jason's part isn't huge (think Faith on "Meanwhile Back At Mama's"), but you can definitely hear him.

"Yes You Will" - Brad Paisley (Time Well Wasted) Target exclusive.

"Never Been Down" - Big & Rich (Super Galactic Fan Pack). This was on their Galactic fan package CD, but I wish it would've made one of their first two albums.

Sounds good. I'll have to look for that.

Isn't that the Britney Spears CD?

[urbanscot]

Keith Urban - Luxury Of Knowing
Keith Urban - Big Promises
Keith Urban - Gotta Let It Go
Sugarland - Fall In To Me

[Deleted]

Kenny Chesney - Old Bird Dog (When The Sun Goes Down)

[gardyfan]

Anything released as a single before the album comes out should be on the main album, never a bonus track.

[Andy]

Billy Joe Shaver - Good Christian Soldier
Garth Brooks - Which One of Them
George Jones - Ghost of Another Man
Kris Kristofferson - Shadows of Her Mind
Merle Haggard - I Won't Give Up My Train (duet version w/ Roger Miller)
Rodney Crowell - It's Lonely Out
The Highwaymen - If He Came Back Again
Waylon Jennings - Ride Me Down Easy

All bonus tracks that are as good as anything on the album proper.

[someguy]

Both "More Than Just Her Last Name" and "Whatever Way It Hurts The Least" from Reba McEntire's Love Somebody (I'm looking at you, "Pray For Peace").

Completely agree. The two bonus tracks are far too good to be listed as "deluxe" only tracks. I wish they would have bumped "Pray For Peace" to the DE. However, knowing how important that song is to Reba, I can see why they kept it the way they did. But, it has VERY little lyric substance. It's nice to see Reba writing on her own. I feel that if they brought in one more writer (Kelly or Ronnie even) the song could have been better. It's kind of like Shania Twain's "God Bless The Child" (I love the a capella version and have zero complaints about it) but, when it was released as a single, an additional verse was added. There was a little more meaning and story behind the song once that happened.

The first one that came to mind was not exactly a country one, but "Second Wind" on Kelly Clarkson's new album is the best thing on that album and its a bonus track, smh. She's half country- so I thought I'd include it

I can't think of any country ones at the moment other than from Love & Theft's debut album: "If I'm Fallin'" that one was probably my 2nd favorite on the album behind "Runaway"

[zjames]

"Nothing" - Zac Brown Band (You Get What You Give deluxe edition)

This definitely should have made the album. One of my favorite ZBB songs.

[ethanhunt]

Litlle Boys Grow Up and Dogs Get Old- Kill the Lights

Bumming Cigarettes- Hero

[robenglund]

Better Than My Heart - Luke Bryan (Crash My Party)

Luke's bonus tracks in general on Crash My Party and Kill The Lights are excellent I may add. It's a shame they don't make the actual album. The ones on Kill The Lights are especially excellent since they aren't overproduced like much of the rest of the album. Not to mention the song mentioned in the post above me is an absolute gem lyric wise as well. 

[George Strait Junkie]

Middle Class Money - Justin Moore - Kinda Don't Care
Big Ass Headache - Justin Moore - Off The Beaten Path

"For The Love Of A Woman" - Martina McBride

Honestly, this is just about the best song on her Emotion album. It is also basically her rarest song... I didn't even learn of its existence until 2012, and the album came out in 1999 THAT'S how rare it is!! Lol it definitely should have made the album.

[CoJoFan]

Lady Antebellum - "And The Radio Played" (from Golden)
