Would anyone even count "Girl Ridin' Shotgun" since it did absolutely nothing?

True, but it was too bad to ignore. At least I held back on not counting "Down In A Ditch" since that was only a promotional single that did equally nothing. :)

I'm not too familiar with Joe Diffie, honestly, so the best I can do is list a few that I like from hearing on the radio:

1. Third Rock from the Sun
2. Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die)
3. John Deere Green

This doesn't make sense. It's a question of what your favorite/least-favorites by Joe Diffie are, so unless this song isn't a Joe Diffie song (which it is), then I fail to see why it wouldn't "count."

[rsmatto]

^ It was mainly a play that many people wouldn't know/listen to it. I just prefer to think that song didn't happen. :)

Joe was one of my favorites back in the day, but I haven't listened to him much in recent years. Really ought to revisit his work soon. I remember thinking the bluegrass album he put out a few years ago was really good, but I don't remember much about it.

A great vocalist, one of the guys I first started listening to in the 90's. I actually quite liked his Bluegrass album, but that "Girl Ridin Shotgun" was terrible. I hope Nash Icons would sign him, and he could release his first album of new material since 2004!
