I recently have been gigging with a modern country band. Playing an after-party show for Carrie Underwood tomorrow night. Great audiences for country music.
I like:
Dierks Bentley
Darius Rucker (Hootie)
Jason Aldean
Josh Thomspon
Randy Houser
Rodney Atkins
& Luke Bryan to name a few.
Nashville studio bass players are really good (this is from learning tunes).
Michael Rhodes and Mike Brignardello are just excellent and are a pleasure to learn from for slick country styles with groove and holy pocket. |

I'll tell you what to not listen to, all the small minded, small eared people that spit on it. |

Just did "The day before you" at a wedding last weekend. Good song. I'd never heard it before. He can be nasally but he's definitely got some pipes (assuming he can pull all that off live).

| | | | I really like a lot of what is called the "Texas Country" Artists. The best know for that genre are Pat Green and Jack Ingram maybe Toby Keith as well. I also really like Gary Allan. A lot of the "Nashville" country is a bit too polished i.e. cookie cutter, but I do like Paisley (awesome guitarist) and Kenney Chesney. |

As with any genre, there's good and bad, but I don't mind listening to some good country. I think Martina McBride has the best voice in country. Nice tunes, too. Little Big Town has killer vocals. Brad Paisley is a great guitar player.
Tangent - Kenney Chesney sucks. All he does is some kind of reggae/beach country. Enough already. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
