I've got numerous custom mix CDs engineered for working out to. Here's the crack line up for a country music workout mix. Note that I do use the term "country music" broadly enough to include Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry.
"Jackson" June Carter and Johnny Cash
"Walking the Floor Over You" Ernest Tubb
"Better Move It on Home" Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton
"Baby Let's Play House" Elvis Presley
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" Hayseed Dixie
"Cash on the Barrelhead" Dolly Parton
"Iraq and roll" Clint Black
"Up on Cripple Creek" The Band
"Thirty Days" Chuck Berry
"Salty Dog Blues" Flatt and Scruggs
"Rubberneckin'" Elvis Presley
"Rocky Top" Osborne Brothers
"Travelin' Man" Dolly Parton
"Lookin' Out My Back Door" Creedence Clearwater Revival
"Joe the Singing Janitor" Junior Brown
"I'm Movin' On" Ray Charles
"Keep Your Hands to Yourself" Georgia Satellites
"Roy's Guitar Boogie" Roy Clark
"Highway to Hell" Hayseed Dixie
"I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" Buck Owens
"The Claw" Jerry Reed
"Blue Suede Shoes" Elvis Presley
"Made in Japan" Buck Owens
"Louisiana Woman, Missisippi Man" Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn
"Out Behind the Barn" Little Jimmy Dickens
"Mystery Train" Elvis Presley
"Happy on My Way" Bill Monroe
"Jolene" Dolly Parton
"We'll Get Ahead Someday" Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton
"I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" Soggy Bottom Boys
This mix works out around 78 1/2 minutes, so you may cut a song or two, depending on how full you want to cram your CD.
This has been road tested and certified for your exercising (or dancing) enjoyment.

nice! now if somebody would just play some of this...heck, any of this on the radio.
and by the way, junior brown is a fricken hidden treasure. there aren't too many people who quote jimi hendrix in the middle of a country blues tune.

Note only quote Hendrix, but keep it country while doing so. Junior Brown is the SHIZNIT.
