One Liner: Aw yeah!  Let's kick some ass with rockin' country!
Wikipedia Genre: Country
Spotify Says Similar To: Dylan Schneider and Chase Rice.  Actually, this list of similar artists is amazing, because its like someone went to casting for the OC and grabbed up all the perfect names for country heartthrobs (well, except for Schneider, maybe).  You've got "Tucker Beathard" (no, I'm not making that up) or Kane Brown and Dylan Scott and Chase Bryant and Ryan Hurd and Chris Lane and Cale Dodds and JJ Lawhorn (another winner I couldn't make up) and Cole Taylor and one female, Brooke Eden.  If those weren't all written by some screenplay writer in Nashville trying to make the new Friday Night Lights football roster, then I'll eat my shirt.

Thoughts: The kind of country singer with a guitar covered in about 14 stickers (that I can see), which include the Confederate flag, "Support Your Local Moonshiners," "Biscuits n' Porn" (not making this up), and something that says "Whiskey Jam" and has the three stars from the Tennessee flag on it.  I don't think we are going to get thinking man's country out of this large bearded man.
Honestly, you know what I hear in this?  Like a country version of Nickelback.  "One Number Away" is the song I'm in the midst of, and it literally sounds like some sort of bad late 90's/early oughts lame rock band.

"Photograph" with a slide guitar!  Get some!  But the most popular track on his Spotify feed is "Hurricane," with over 60 million freaking streams, so he's actually pretty popular.

Yeah, pretty cheesy country stuff.  He's got another one on here where he name drops all of the KICK ASS COUNTRY OUTLAWS to show his bona fides.  In a coup of mysterious naming, he called it "Can I Get an Outlaw."

Hell yeah!  Gimme an OUTLAWWWWWWW!  "If you gonna talk the talk you better walk the walk! and Brother that's the truth!"  "We don't need another purty boy singin' purty songs! Fake country boys, doing country all wrong!  Need another Haggard or a Johnny Cash, somebody chewin' bacca, and whippin' ass!"  Yes, those are real lyrics.  This is really happening.

Remember last year when the country music at the fest was amazing?  This is not the same stuff.

Would I Recommend this in the Fall?  No.
