Tennessee Volunteers

We did a song for the Tennessee Volunteers. The objectives were:

  1. Genres: Country, Country Rock, Country Bluegrass
  2. Upbeat song celebrating the long tradition of sports in Tennessee
  3. Reference as much actual pieces of the traditions, like the T (formed when the team runs out onto the field, "Vol Walk", Checkboard endzones, etc
  4. Tag as much of the lingo as possible: "Give um six!", "It's Football Time in Tennessee", "Pride of the Southland", etc

First really bluegrassy tune for me...my only regret is we didn't use banjo...
