Lori Crofford — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:03:54 +0000

It was last fall when I first heard about this show called Duck Dynasty. I thought, great another reality show with a bunch of rednecks.

They were some of the most popular shows of their time and had some pretty catchy opening songs too. It's hard to say if these tunes had anything to do with the success of the shows, but we liked them enough to request them on the radio and buy the full version of the songs.
