School me on GOOD country music

This is probably my favorite Charley song. When he played it for us here at the Soundwell back in June '21 (first big artist to come play here post pandemic) it had not even been out for a week yet but the sellout crowd already knew every word and sang it along with him. When he was done, he commented "Damn Salt Lake, I just learned that song 3 days ago and y'll already know it better than me!" Made me proud of the crowd

Can't forget about Fred's wife; an amazingly talented musician in her own right! This one's for you D-Day; think you might likey

A couple of years ago AA put out 2 volumes of covers of BJ's favorite older, country songs. Being used to his band's normal sound, I was a little skeptical at first. All it took was driving across the middle of Nevada in the dead of winter with Volume 1 on repeat and I was hooked. They are both great top to bottom and very much worth a listen/purchase if you haven't heard them! May bring back some fond memories for us older folk Hard to pick a favorite so this will have to do; it's on you Cats to check out the rest and pick your own

Seeing American Aquarium, Turnpike Troubadours and Red Clay Strays at Red Rocks in May. Pretty stoked.

You should be FUCKING STOKED not just "pretty stoked" Seriously thought about getting tix for that, but I saw TT at one of their first shows post-hiatus back in Dec '22 at the Brooklyn Bowl for the Hooey Fest on National Rodeo Finals Weekend in Vegas. I met people from all over the country; they flew in from everywhere just for that show. They played every song a fan would want to hear except "Wrecked". Google that setlist; it will blow your mind. One of the best, most fun nights of my life and don't want to do anything to tarnish those memories! Super hot cowgirls everywhere Didn't get to bed till well past 4am Also, saw them at the same event 4 years earlier when Evan was hooking up with Miranda and about to go off the rails ..... that night's a story for another time .....

As they should! Seen them probably just as many times (if not more) as the Old 97's all over the country from the East Coast to the West Coast. Their Roadtrip to Raleigh gathering should be on every true fan's list. I know D-Day liked his old band that quit on him (as I did too), but his current band is way more polished, tighter and professional.

My wife is a HUGE Wilco fan, and AA piqued our interest for obvious reasons. They sound more country than I expected based on the Wilco reference. They come through here regularly but the timing has never worked. Hoping to catch them soon (and the Old 97's again).

Thats like your opinion man.

I believe he made a number of good country songs and more over he walked his talk. Not all can say that.

There are two Toby Kieths. The pre 9/11 tear your heart out with honesty and the post 9/11 angry bad cowboy hat wearing not worth listening to Toby.

Blue Moon is by far his best album. Only the Lonely, Lucky Me, Does that Blue Moon Ever Shine on You, Closing Time At Home, are all proper sad country songs. Sure the whole album has the 90s mainstream Nashville production, but there is a proper steel guitar shining through most of the album.

“We Were in Love” hits me hard as me and my wife find ourselves further and further from our high school sweetheart selves and I hope we can hold on through the grind of middle ages and teen wrangling.

“Who’s that Man” does a damn good job of the tragedy of divorce. Reminds me of my dad’s failures and keeps me trying to be a better husband.

“I’m So Happy” is excellent oxymoron and is accompanied by Sting.

Oh, and what boy doesn’t grow up thinking they Should Have Been a Cowboy?

Toby Kieth’s music played prominently throughout my childhood in the 90s. I mourned the change in his art in the 2000s, and now I am sad that the man is gone.
