Good Country West Coast Music?

Night before last they played "Boogie Man" at "my" country western place. People did West Coast Swing.
I haven't heard the song much before. (Maybe I just wasn't paying attention)
It is not the one my KC and the Sunshine Band.
Anyone familiar with this song?
 
I like:

-The more I drink (B. Shelton)
- Johnny Cash (Jason Aldean)
- When God Fearing Women Get the Blues
-Play Something Country (Brooks and Dunn)
-A Thousand Miles From Nowhere (Dwight Yokum)
-Drunker Than Me (T. Thomlinson)
-Here For The Party (Gretchen Wilson)
-The House We Built (Brooks and Dunn)
-No One Else On Earth (Winona)
 
Cool, I never think of Gretchen Wilson for WCS. I'll have to listen to it and see. In my area, the country nightclub tends to play kind of fast WCS songs. They aren't as fun as the slightly slower ones.

The first wouldn't open up for me . . . and second . . . you must like your WCS music really fast . . . I hard a hard time doing 2 Step and ECS to it, but I know some like really fast songs to dance to.

I personally like them quite the opposite!

Your right about that, Vince, The Mavericks' Here Comes my Baby is going at a pretty good clip. Now for True Confessions: I don't dance swing, East or West. So don't think I can dance to it, I just happen to love that song. But looking to change that shortly! Just finished up a beginner series for NC 2step and starting a beginner class in WCS in the very near future. Wish me luck!

Sorry about the first clip, I got a double http:// in the address. Fixed, it is Poor Boy Blues
 
Sorry to bump up such an old thread, but Carrie Underwood's newest single, "Cowboy Casanova" is a great WCS song!
 
Since this was brought up I've been trying to figure out just WHY people like it for WCS. I'm getting very much into the whole swing thing at the moment. I like the idea that you are free in your expression of the music, both as a musician and as a dancer.
Now, why would I not think that about Argentine Tango? Yes, I could tell stories, actually.
Anyhow, back to Cowboy Casnova....
 
This is actually listed as a rock song by iTunes, but it has a very country feel to me when I listen to it....

Keep Your Hands to Yourself (The Georgia Satellites)
 
If it's the one I think it is...
It was very big in the mid 80s when I lived near a small town and there was this place I spent way too much time in and that song was played frequently and it went really well with the clientele and people sort of partner danced there, and... I'd better stop here.
They'll be no huggy, no kissy 'til I see a wedding ring, don't give me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.
Is it that one?
 
Yep, that's the one. It's an older song, but they play it on the radio now and then, and it makes me imagine how I would west coast to it. I don't listen to country music, so that song is the best suggestion I've got.

Oh, except for My Maria by Brooks & Dunn. I think that one would work, although it doesn't have a lot of accents and breaks.
 
That would be a tough one for me. Long time ago I learned a line dance to it. Now everyone does Traveling Cha Cha when it comes on.
Come to think of it, though 1 2 123 is "Turning" or "Lindy" rhythm. Maybe I'll try to think about doing West Coast next time it's played.
