More Than I Should- Hunter Hayes

A pretty fitting song to describe my 2013. Here's to making better mistakes in 2014.

Worth a watch. The editor of this video makes a good point about mainstream country these days. But I don't care if all the Top 40s about girls and trucks if listening to it makes you happy.

Why Country Music Was Awful in 2013 

This was pretty funny.

Thomas Rhett-Call Me Up

I will never stop being obsessed with him.

Beat Of The Music-Brett Eldredge

I do this thing where I listen to the same album on repeat for days and then completely forget about it until there's a lull in new albums coming out. This is exactly what happened to Brett's latest album.

Young Love-Kip Moore

This song makes me really excited for his new album.

Sweet Annie- Zac Brown Band

Not much of a Zac Brown Band fan but this song has been running through my mind constantly lately.

Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys- Steel Guitar Rag

I'm obsessed with this.

Bob Wills Is Still The King-Waylon Jennings

I'm currently taking a country music class and we've started studying Western Swing, and therefore Bob Wills. This class has been such a pleasure and was one of the reasons I started this blog. Anyway, it reminded me of this song, which Aaron Watson covers in concert sometimes. I always think it's pretty cool when one artist takes time to recognize those that have come before him and pay tribute.

Chris Young-Text Me Texas

Probably my favorite off of his newest album.

Blake Shelton-She Can't Get That

Classic Blake off of his Pure BS album. If more people listened to this album country music would be in a better place right now.

Justin Moore "Off the Beaten Path" Album Review

Let me start out by saying I've listened to this album at least 15 times in the past two days. I really do wish I was kidding.

To me this album had songs that were typical Justin like "Beer" which felt pretty similar to "Guns" from his last album. It also had other fun songs like "Dirt Road Kid" and "Off the Beaten Path", which seem to be what Justin is most known for in popular country music. 

Where Justin continues to get me is his more serious songs like "Old Habits" feat. Miranda Lambert and "One Dirt Road". On every album he has a few that I feel never get as much love as they should. Whenever he does songs like these live e.g. "Grandpa" you can feel the awe in the crowd. It's actually quite amazing.

Overall, I love the mix of songs that Justin gives us on this extensive album. He definitely deserves all of the praise he's been getting for this one.

I feel like Chris Young's "Goodbye" was written from such a genuinely hurt place. It perfectly describes how you feel when the love of your life is walking away and you can't do a thing to change it.
