agreed on the john anderson record. i had plenty of goodwill towards john rich. i still have some left, but it’s burning fast. now if only john anderson would find a producer like rick rubin or daniel lanois. that would be awesome.

I had a lot of goodwill towards John Rich after he brought John Anderson back and helped produce his great record “Easy Money”, but he is once again starting to burn that goodwill.

i think sarah has great voice, but i havent liked either of her singles yet, i thought they were poorly written and both failed at achieving humor. i havent listened to her cd and would give her other songs aa chance, but i havent liked her songwritting so far

I wouldn’t call “He Hates Me” a failure… yet. It’s still getting adds on Mediabase after multiple weeks on the chart. Today, one station added the song with 17 new plays. Usually, a song starts out at about 7-9 new plays when it’s first added. It’s showing some potential IMO, and I think it’s a great song. I wish Sarah the best with it.

Great. First Nashville Star gets picked up by a major network and then they put John Rich in charge. Won’t be wasting any of my time watching this go round….

I love Sarah Johns and find it absolutely disappointing that her first two singles were both goofy jingle ditties guaranteed to attach the label “novelty artist” to her name at country radio. She must release “Big Love In a Small Town” as her next single, if she gets the chance that is. Talk about torpedoing one’s own career path….

I hope the George Strait XM channel comes with frequent warnings that listening while driving could be extremely hazardous as many of George’s songs have been known to induce narcolepsy……
