Me, I think Country Boy sounds like Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. Now that’s country!

I’d say Charlie’s changed a little over the years. Back in the early ’70s when he was in his mid 30′s, he poked fun at the John Birch Society in Uneasy Rider. After seeing his monologue in the video, I’m thinking he might as well be in it.

Funney anyone who likes real country music gets made fun of and bad reviews? Country boy is a good song and yes it is sad that the lead singer from stained is more in tune with real country fans than Nashville’s, corperate watered down 26-34 year soccer mom country music. also Charlie Daniels is has not a self ritious prick, He has not changed the world has.. People are like sheep they follow the majority, Good ole Charlie ain’t drinkin your kool-aid he is his own man thats why you dont like him your jelous of his intestinal fortitude!!!!!

Couldnt agree more with this review. “Country Boy” is awful and the EP/album is generally pretty “eh”, but Tangled Up In You and Vicious Circles especially are quite good and more indicative of what I would like to see him record.

@LEEANN – That is one reason I think the group “Third Day” was, and is, so successful. The are to contemporary christian what Alabama was to country years ago, at least to some degree.

Well, his vocals in Staind were 50% whine and the rest full-blown blubber.

@Leeann – Precisely! I listen to a fair amount of that genre as well. Predominant male half-whisper half-growl voice.
@Dan – Red Dirt Road is one of my favorites of Dunn and the silent partner. Just a good identifiable song. Long Black Train is already a classic.
@Fizz – Don’t stir up my Waynoe.

As for “seemingly taboo items,” get over that martyr complex.

As for Aaron Lewis, he sounds like a contemporary Christians singer in this “country” form to me. Not the lyrics, but the way that he sings. Strange.
