Before I start this article, I’d like to apologise for the song that I’m throwing back to this week. Sorry. Cotton Eye Joe is one of those songs that everyone’s heard, and everyone’s danced to at some stage. It’s a cover of the traditional song with a dance twist, and even though Rednex are actually a Swedish group they managed to turn it into a traditional American barnstomper. You can feel the Deep South barn dancing just by listening to this – it’s really one of the most famous songs that people barn dance to. Anyway, have a listen if you feel like it because there’s no denying that this is a classic.
