We have been getting multiple daily (overnight) spam comments on this article, so I am locking comments until the problem is fixed.

I downloaded his last two albums off emusic and like pretty much everything except “Best Mistake I Ever Made.” 95.9 The Ranch is spinning the hell out of it so I’m probably in the minority. That’s ok because the Lord loves a drinkin’ man, which puts me in the majority around these parts;)

Why has Fowler always reminded me of David Ball?

I always thought “Red Dirt” meant the Stillwater, Oklahoma scene.

I have read all the comments above and I agree with each one of you…to a degree. Isn’t it grand we can agree to disagree? You can’t like everything and you don’t have to. I am not an eloquent writer and may not express my views as well as some of you but what I like about the song is… it came from the heart of both songwriters Kevin and Bobby Pounds about a subject that is close to both of them.

But one bad review is not gonna make or break this song. I think the song speaks for itself…It has been the CMT Pure 12-Pack Top Video for the past 2 weeks…which is voted on by the listeners/fans. And it could quite possibly be there again this week…results are not in yet!Since its release the song has been on the Texas Music Charts with two #1 spots (competition is tough) going back and forth. So apparently someone likes the song.

I hope someone reading Ben’s review will at least give the song a chance and not just take his word at face value…listen then make a decision.

I tend to ramble but I ramble about the things in life that matter to me and Best Mistake I Ever Made matters to me!

Well Ben, as my Grandpa used to tell me, ” If you don’t understand something you should listen more and talk less ” !

Do you like Brussel Sprouts? Miller Lite or Bud Light? Ford or Chevy? Spring or Summer? Everyone’s opinion is different and what is good to one is not to another. A critic will evaluate a song from a completely different angle than anyone else. Me however, I don’t need to analyze it in such a way. I love this song. Why??? Because I like the message that you can do something that seems wrong at the time and ends up being the best thing you could have done. I like Kevin, his voice, twang and energy. As far as I am concerned, each person needs to make up their own mind, not because someone else gives you their opinion. Have there been mainstream Nashville songs with the same basic theme, of course. But they were still different songs and just because Kevin records one like this, doesn’t mean every one after this will be the same. I look forward to hearing Kevin sing this at each concert/show I go to!!!!

And to answer Ben’s question about why this song is getting so many spins on the radio, it’s because people who DO like the song are calling their radio stations and requesting it…..In fact I just heard it on my favorite station KVET 98.1 :)
