I know he hates to admit it after I have given him so much **** about how country has gone to nothing but pop, top 40, rap, crap over the last few years and he has defended it to the death, but I think he has finally conceded that country is horrible **** these days.
This is your real country for the modern times. I know you have avoided listening to them when I have posted this stuff before, but surely you can admit that it is closer to country than the sheet you've been following on the radio.
If that ain't a real modern day country song, I don't know what is. This **** you promote doesn't even come close.
Of course, they may need to add some fireworks shooting off, lots of explosions, 25 back up singers, a laser light show, 50 dancers, a stage out into the crowd where drunk women can touch their pant legs, and streamers and balloons dropping into the crowd when the show ends, that is pretty much what signals that you're at a country concert these days.

This one is the same way. This is the true modern day country music, this is a fantastic song. These guys deserve a hell of a lot more recognition than they get.
I know and can connect exactly to what that song is saying. Been down a lot of bad roads and have come out on the right one, only by the grace of God and good luck.

That song (especially that version) really hits me deep, about the dad that wanted more for his kids but had to sacrifice his opportunity to make sure they had what they needed, the two little boys on the baseball team, etc. it chokes me up.

Okay I love that one too. The lead singer/guitarist reminds me of Charlie lol. It's funny, a lot of the younger folks who grow up in the country long to move to the big city (okay they USED to at least), but around here I feel like I'm the only shmuck that longs to move out to the middle of nowhere, a town with less than 1000 people, maybe one Sheriff and one Deputy etc. I didn't grow up in the south, nor do I have many relatives from there, but I long to end up there. I definitely do not belong in what's become of California

I picked up their Live album a couple weeks ago, and I may have worn out the track . . . as well as the entire album!

Great song.
And an FYI....the clip is clearly lip-synced, but give it another close listen and you'll hear future Eagle founder Glenn Frye doing background vocals.

Might not touch much in you but I think its a hell of a cover for us hillbillies, lol. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFhFiLmzIpk
This one kinda sounds like what would've happened if Lynyrd Skynyrd got together with Johnny Cash and played in some hillbilly's backyard
I think I'm going to go pick up one of their CDs. We're going to Country in the Park today, and I'm prepared to be pretty underwhelmed....

And you like Kimberly Perry, so.

Have you heard this? Talk about a good cover. What an awesome live band they are.
That's some damned good picking.

Another great cover from back when they first started. **** what a great group of pickers.
Want to see the true musical talent of a band? Watch them live, that tells the whole story. A studio album doesn't reveal ****.

Either way, these guys are the real ****ing deal. They kick ***. I figure the only reason they haven't made the big time is because of exactly what is on their logo "Too Rock for Country, Too Country for Rock".
Of course I can't believe this one isn't a chart topping country song, it has all the right marks to make it one. Well, it probably would have been 5 years ago, now it doesn't pass the test since it doesn't have any rapping, lol.
