Line Life Listens, Lineman's Rodeo Playlist, Part 2
With the 2026 International Lineman's Rodeo about a month away, we are dropping another musical playlist featuring songs originally curated by Michael Willman, the Rodeo's announcer and emcee.
For Part 2, featuring more tunes pulled from his original playlist, I included such songs as "Even Flow" from Pearl Jam (one of my favorites), "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix and "Back in Black" by AC/DC.
Listen to the playlist to hear soaring vocals, guitar solos and rocking rhythms in this collection of songs that have been played over the years during the International Lineman's Rodeo Week.
Enjoy this playlist and look for others to come in our Lineman Life enewsletter and on our website.
Also, keep those playlists coming. Once I feature the multi-part series of Rodeo playlists, I'll start featuring your curated playlists. Just connect with me on LinkedIn or send me the link to your playlist for our Line Life Podcast listeners at [email protected].
I look forward to hearing from you, and I can't wait to see you and your families at the 2026 International Lineman's Rodeo! Be sure to stop by our T&D World booth to participate in a podcast recording for a future episode, pick up temporary tattoos to wear during the International Lineman's Rodeo Week and participate in a drawing for prizes.
