I'd use it with ironic intent, of course; neither has had a bona fide hit in years. Garth Brooks would qualify, except that he's a bit too much of a legend; too much name recognition in the general market for my purposes. Lila McCann might suffice, but I'd prefer a male voice.

Agree with Craig somewhat. Sometimes you just need fun songs you know. Not all songs have to be serious wordy masterpieces. Nothing wrong with a good mix. Really really like the Luke Bryan song.

The rest of 'em were just kinda robotic. Well, I just had to go listen to the celebrity “voice mail” things, and I gotta say, I think the Keith Anderson ones were pretty cute.

Chuck Mead will be performing that night at The Mint Club on Pico while Steve Earle will be doing a free promo show across town at Amoeba Records on Sunset. I'm choosing Chuck Mead's show because I prefer his music, but if Hollerin' Ben made Steve's free show it would be nice to see a review here at The 9513.

Wed, 06 May 2009 21:38:20 +0000 http://www.the9513.com/5879/#comment-127213 I have to be honest and say that I have never liked Luke Bryan. I think his music is silly, immature and frat boyish- like Kenny Chesney the without sand. But a friend asked me to listen to his new song" Do I" on his My Space page. I think this is his best song to date! The song itself is a C+ song at best, and a little over produced. But I feel him for the first time. I believe him. I see him as an adult with problems, who is trying to understand and grow. All of that is conveyed by a vocal, that while it shows his vocal limits, is real, a little raw, and honest. Behind all the marketing there is a real man there. This song is proof of it. Now let's see what the next song brings. If he finds a song that will match his vocal ability and he can really get into, he might have a new fan. I have to be honest and say that I have never liked Luke Bryan.

Sheesh! (lol) I was listening live to APHC last Saturday and was disappointed that the show from the Ryman featured Brad Paisley as his music bores me to tears. At least regular guest Sam Bush livened things up a bit. Oh well... I'll be listening in for Kate & Kacey Coppola's Opry debut as they are fine performers live. I really don't expect Top 40 country radio to pay them any more attention than BOMSHEL, which is a shame. Its nice to read that Nathan Rabin has been bitten by the Bob Wills western swing bug. Once that music sinks in and gets under your skin you're a goner. On the subject of western swing the new Hot Club of Cowtown CD was released in Europe this week but won't be available stateside for months! Dern it! Wow, talk about country music news overlaod!

But he very nicely offered to answer more questions once I've gotten through it.
