Dance-floor-worthy country music songs

[fricasseed_gourmet_rat]

Yes, yes, I know most country music has a bad rap here in the liberal-minded community, but I'm in charge of the playlist for a Dukes of Hazzard party and I need to load the mix CDs up with country (of the danceable, sing-along variety) and Southern rock.

Any ideas?
