Thanksgiving specific Pop/Rock songs? - 11/07/18 11:59 AM

I've been asked to play one or two songs for this specific event. Aside from some Gospel and sacred music, I can't really think of a pop/rock Thanksgiving song. I did a quick search but I didn't see anything interesting. Are there any known standard songs associated with Thanksgiving? Something as obvious as Silent Night for Christmas?

Noting more obvious that this. "Over the River and Thru the Woods" to a Disco beat.

They'll love it or fire you. LOL

Good suggestions actually! I haven't heard any of these songs before. Under Dnj's suggestion, I saw another one by Johnny Cash as well. I'll probably do a Piano medley of some of these. Thanks!

I thought that was a joke...until I YouTubed the song. Loved it! ha ha ha


Edit:

Don, I don't have enough courage to publish my 'country' renditions, but If I'm drunk enough I might just go for it, so watch out!

Well, if you're gonna do country, don't forget Ernest Tubb, Thanks A Lot!
