I like Jasons cover of “Asphalt Cowboy” I’d like to cover that one myself, that’s a great modern day “cowboy” trucker song. The World needs more “cowboy” songs. I hate this Nashville pop crap. The world has enough “Pop” Hollywood thinks were gay (Brokeback) and Nashville has no soul. Pretty soon they’ll have a good collection of their own “Beats”

“JMO, but Jason Aldean shouldn’t have recorded any songs one time, let alone record them again. Everything about that guy, his singing, his appearance and his songs make me want to smash any audio device I hear him on.”

Same here

Most of Aldean’s best song’s arent released, which is really unfortunate.

It would not be that hard to list talented country acts, signed for what was special about them, with a first single selected by alleged commercial geniuses that was the one track they recorded that was Most Like Everything Else on Radio rather than what was unique. The single never gets started, the CD–if the album even gets released–tanks, and the act disappears to the island of “What Ever Happened To?”…

If Second Chance Singles lead to second chances for acts like that, great. But they will likely have to revive them, when they can, themselves.

I love Kate & Kacey =) Their debut single, “Dreaming Love”, was a great song, real shame it didn’t get farther than #51 on the chart.

Regarding Waynoe’s accurate comment: “…now the path is already cut due to demographics and other criteria and it’s simply finding a song to fit the already prescribed mold.”

A perfect case in point is the new Kate and Kacey Coppola song they’ve just added to their MySpace player. After finding their female version of the Everly Brothers sound is about as welcome as roadkill at Top 40 AirHead Country radio stations, they’ve moved closer to today’s acceptable mold. If the new “Honky Tonk Party Song” doesn’t do well at radio its not due to a lack of trying on Kate & Kacey’s part.

(PS – If the last song on their player “Good Life” were recorded by gals named either Carrie or Taylor it would probably be a number one hit. Oh well…)

I’d be all for it if the particular songs selected were Gretchen Wilson’s “Skoal Ring”, Ashton Shepherd’s “The Bigger The Heart”, Amber Dotson’s “Good Ole Boy’s Kinda Girl”, Catherine Britt’s “I’m Gone”, Ashley Monroe’s “That’s Why We Call Each Other Baby”, and Susan Haynes’ “Long Way To Memphis” for starters….

Karlie, I think you forgot a somewhere. This whole page is showing up in bold.

Wade, John Corbett released Good to Go. I remember it bouncing back and forth for weeks, plummeting to #60, zooming up to #43 and STILL not making Top 40. Bizarre chart run indeed.
