Redneck Music Suggestions

I'd probably add the following:

Merle Haggerd's Okie from Muskogie 

Jerry Jeff Walkers' Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother

AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long

and some rap song (rednecks dancing to Rock or Rap is just amusing)

Wagon Wheel - Old Crow Medicine Show - or the Hootie version

Dead Flowers

Copperhead Road

Folsom Prison

margarittaville

Goin' Up The Country

Seven Bridges Road

Friend of the Devil

Stray Cat Strut

Long Haired Country Boy

Handle Me With Care

Lawyers Guns & Money

Werewolves of London

Me & Julio

Brown Eyed Girl

Up on Cripple Creek

Just to name a few.

If I did, I wouldn't be alone.

There's a bluegrass band called Luther Wright and the Wrongs that covered Pink Floyd's The Wall. Called it Rebuild the Wall.  It sounds like the stupidest idea, but it's surprisingly awesome.  Here's their version of Comfortably Numb.

I grew up in red-neck northern Wisconsin, so here's three that might work:

1). "Beer Run" by Todd Snider:

2). Anything by Hank Williams Jr.

3). If this is a "not for kids"/adults-only show/concert, then I HIGHLY recommend David Allan Coe's "XXX Underground" LP - NOTE: THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE SONG FROM HIM IS, HIGHLY EMPHASIZED, NSFW!!  Don't say I didn't warn you:
  a). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pXovit73Xc
  b). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Svp46TqjYA

4). Hayseed Dixie, a bluegrass foursome, that play hard rock/heavy metal covers, and do some mean versions of AC/DC tunes.

Definitely and all ages event.  I have played Hayseed Dixie in the past with mixed reviews.  Lots of confused looks on the faces of the festive goers.

Here a a few in no certain order -

David Allen Coe - You Never Even Called Me By My Name

Kid Rock - Born Free

The Lacs - Kickin' Up Mud

Charlie Daniels - Long Haired Country Boy

Range War - Don't Tread On Me

Dale Watson - Country My A$$

Jamey Johnson - High Cost Of Living

Molley hatchet - Flirtin' With Disaster

Hank Williams Jr - Family Tradition

You didn't know that bleep, bleepbleep, bleepbleepbleep, and @#$%^ couldn't be used???

Anything by Southern Culture on the Skids aka S.C.O.T.S.  You're welcome.

I'd characterize them as rockabilly/country.

I am not a huge country music fan. I do LOVE the Civil Wars

My son listens to Luke Bryan

I had to take my daughter to a Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton concerts and I have to admit that they were a lot of fun.  They were entertaining and the crowd was very polite.  She is somewhat of a hipster who drags me to all sorts of stuff.

I love S.C.O.T.S.  They are on my wife and I's must see list, but they NEVER come to Oklahoma.  I've always characterized them and Reverend Horton Heat as Psycho-billy.  I'd be happy to play nothing but S.C.O.T.S and YMSB (recommended earlier) all day, but I probably wouldn't get invited back.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have a dirt track date.

Country Girl (Shake It For Me) by Luke Bryan is a must.  It gets played during the Okie Noodling Queen contest.  Which is quite interesting.

What a shame they don't hit OK in their touring, they are simply awesome fun to see live.  You and your wife truly do need to see them even if it means planning a trip or vacation around where they are playing.  I'm fortunate that I live in PA and they come here or MD fairly often.  I've seen them more times than I can remember, joined in the on-stage chicken throwing fray of '8-Piece Box' once, gave Cousin Crispy a hug before a show once.  Wish he was still with them, he really added something, IMO.  Ham n x.  Yeah, the Reverend is lotsa fun, too.  Only saw him live once, but it was good.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with it but one of my favorite songs on my run playlist is Madison Rising's version of the Star Spangled Banner.  I believe it would get your crowd all sorts of rockin.
