2013 was a great year for modern country groups and duos. These were the top 5 songs that made my list, where each musical act is represented only once.
At No. 5 was duo Thompson Square's newest single "Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About." It is a refreshing up-tempo tune and has an infectious melody. Good job Thompson Square. It is no wonder that Thompson Square took home the coveted "Vocal Duo of the Year" award in the 2012 Country Music Association (CMA) awards, as well as the 2012 Academy of Country Music (ACM) awards. At No. 4 was country group Parmalee and their chart-topping single "Carolina." It is a moving and beautifully performed ballad. It has captivating lyrics and many listeners can easily relate to it. Lead singer Matt Thomas has a dynamic voice and his fellow band members, Barry Knox, Josh McSwain and Scott Thomas also excel on this tune. At No. 3 was country duo Florida Georgia Line's "Round Here." It was one of the best songs on their debut studio album and it was fun and catchy. Their latest single "Stay" also deserves an honorable mention as one of the greatest songs in 2013 by a country duo or group. At No. 2 was country trio The Band Perry's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely." Kimberly's lead vocals are crystalline and her brothers compliment her well on harmonies. It sits at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot Country Airplay charts for the week ending January 4, 2014, but it deserves to be a No. 1 single. At No. 1 was country duo Love and Theft's "If You Ever Get Lonely." Stephen Barker Liles nails the lead vocals and Eric Gunderson is superb on acoustic guitar and harmonies. You can feel the emotion and melancholy in their performance. The guys sing with a lot of heart and they showcase their range and vulnerability. "If You Ever Get Lonely" deserved to be a No. 1 song on the charts. The fact that it only made the Top 35 was one of the greatest snubs of 2013. Many thanks to all of these gifted duos and groups for making 2013 such an incredible year for modern country music.
