    I'm not a big country guy, but this is my buddy from college...he's good. I think Country is in good hands if you include Hayes, Lucero and DBT.

    Jason Isbell has a lot of country influences and I personally like him more than DBT now.

    Hayes Carll is really good, cool that you went to school with him.

    also I found it disturbing that it took 13 pages and a kid from new england (me) for Hank Williams Sr to be mentioned in a thread about country music. Yall mentioned his grandson who isn't 1/10th the performer he was but not the original and goat country artist

    Always enjoy a good Hayes show. See him about 10 times a year in and around Houston.

    unless it was really expensive for the ticket it should be entertaining. his band was fun to watch and he brings out a different crowd.

    Well, he lives in the Nashville area, so he is always around you, but to answer, yes, go see him. One of the best shows I have seen, but be warned, it will get heavy at times.

    Definitely did. I can't believe some of my friends like it. I think they are just trying to justify it because it is EC. I like maybe 1/4 of the album. The first 2, there wasn't a song I didn't like.

    My buddy sent me a text "Eric Church's new album may be his best" My response "Friendship over"

    Hah. Basically the same with me. My friend sent me a list of the songs he liked off of it and I just replied "Good Lord. :facepalm:"

    It is obvious Eric still did most (if not all) of the writing, but he softened the sound significantly. I would bet the concerts are still very good just like "Jack Daniels" has sounded much better acoustic than on the album. Of course he doesn't fucking come into the Southeast, so maybe not, and I won't get to see it anyway.

    I feel like all of our friends should hang out and listen to shitty music together. Was talking with a buddy of mine last night about the album and when I told him I thought it sucked and that he had sold out, he was shocked and said he thought it was great stuff. Sigh...

    Their first record, The Steeldrivers, is one of my favorite bluegrass albums of all time. Every song on there is awesome, much better than Reckless IMO, I think I read they lost a member from the first album to Reckless. But yeah they're awesome singers voice is great :respek:
