BwareDWare94 723 Posted August 30, 2014 I don't mind pop country when it's done this well: I will never understand why Big Kenny gets to ride John Rich's coattails. Rich is so much more talented, it's not even funny. Much better singer. Much better songwriter. Big Kenny just irritates me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted December 15, 2014 Country music now is turning into more pop Nah. Pop is just pretending to be country. Real country now hides in blanket term of "Americana" that encompasses all of the old roots genres. Best country artist in Nashville right now: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted July 12, 2016 Found this song tonight, and it really hit me hard after spending some time with somebody who makes me want to better myself this weekend. Cheesy, I know, but some people just make a person feel worthwhile and talented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Just got back from a Jake Owen concert, damn that guy can put on a show I'm really excited for American Love. I know it won't be traditional country but Jake Owen is probably the very best in mainstream country at applying multiple influences into one song. I've liked all of his albums so far, and the one concert of his that I worked at, he dropped our jaws with an incredible performance of "Heaven." I hope you got to see that last night. Also, I'm really digging 7 out of 11 songs on Frankie Ballard's new album, particularly this one, which I think is the best of his career: Edited July 16, 2016 by BwareDWare94 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
