    That's a good one.
    Recent good WCS release; "Pontoon" by Little Big Town. A good but oldy is "Crazy Mama" by JJ Cale.

    Pontoon, I should check that out, I thought. Turns out I've been dancing WCS to it for months! Yeah, I like it a lot.
    I'm guessing it's the shuffle feel that makes it good for WCS, http://www.studybass.com/lessons/rhythm/shuffle-and-swing-rhythms/ although that isn't specified on the sheet music.
    The drummer accents on the 2 and the 4, so you could do Nite Club, too, but, it feels more like West Coast. I'm betting it's the shuffle feel.

    Last night someone told me that "Pontoon" was "too slow" for West Coast. I think I convinced her otherwise.

    "Pontoon" is hot, in Phoenix it crossed over to non-Country WCS venues.
