    Kacey Musgraves's music is top notch, too. She's already one of my all-time favorite female musicians.

    Saw him with a buddy back in like May or June. He was 25 and me 24 at the time, and we were far and away the youngest people there. Had couples in I assume their 60's "sneaking" us drinks all night because they thought we were under 21. We kept trying to tell them, but they weren't having it. Free drinks and an excellent show from Clint Black :feelsgoodman::beerchug:

    Tootsie's had their 55th birthday bash last night. An embarrassment that some of them have been considered country artists. I did see Confederate Railroad though. That was cool

    How is Chris Stapleton winning these awards? His best song reaches #46 on the charts, Sam Hunt has 3 #1's and Chris wins Newcomer of the year, and album of the year?

    I don't follow this thread because I'm pretty much Isbell or bust when it comes to "country" "music" but have you guys discussed John Moreland? He's been opening up for Dawes and he's incredibly talented.

    I was at a wedding 2 weeks ago for one of my friends where Sam Hunt was a groomsman...look at how cool I am everyone.

    Side note, dude is actually like 6'4 and played QB at MTSU and UAB. I just assumed he was 5'8 and a frat guy.

    Got some flights/long drives coming up and I'll put him into the mix. I've pretty much been stuck on turnpike troubadours and lucero's new album recently.
