    Lauren Alaina might be the worst thing to ever happen to country music.

    I'm not posting a video; if you've heard the song, you know. If you haven't, count yourself lucky and listen to some George Strait or something.

    Not sure I get the commercialized comment. To me it's an ok album that is too short without pushing much new material.
    There's a few good tracks in there but he definitely does not seem ambitious with this album. It seems like he put it out simply because it's time to put out an album.

    Midlands single is good but I'm not buying those guys. They're basically Big Machine's answer to the latest mini run of success of the Americana and traditionalist country artists like Stapleton. They're all Nashville and LA insiders, not exactly the hard scrabble group from Texas that they're trying to depict. Good single, same old shit otherwise.

    Purists are hypocrites. George Strait sounds like Rascal Flatts compared to George Jones. The music is always changing and who gives a shit what is considered country - except for what has been on the radio for the last 2-3 years - they've finally mailed it in.

    Well thats my point. I dont think early 90s country sounded anything like 60s-70s country. ANd 70s sure as hell didnt sounds like the 50s. Every person thinks the new stuff sucks. My grandfather thought Garth Brooks wasnt any different than Hootie and the Blowfish.

    Fwiw, I like almost everything, but I grew up on George Jones, Merle, and Cash. So Alabama and Alan Jackson sound like pop compared to that, although I love them.

    I guess. A lot of people point to Garth as the beginning of the end. I think the extreme decline started with Toby Keith's how do you like me now album, which was, is, and always will be a big pile of shit.
