My wife and I were laughing out loud at Luke Bryan when he was on some news channel recently. I told my wife "this guy twerks and shite on stage, he's frickin terrible." Smash cut to a clip of Luke Bryan air grinding on stage, then they say he has a new song called "Huntin, Fishin, and Lovin Every Day." I almost choked laughing. It's like hey are trolling everyone with the awfulness.

I feel like "Traveler" was such a hugely successful album because it was a taste of the real thing. People used to eating at Applebeas got to try the hamburger from Fleming's. There's better stuff out there, but they had forgotten what the real thing tasted like, and they liked it.

"Traveler"'s success gave me hope. It showed me that maybe the mainstream consumer still wants good, real music. Maybe they haven't been so conditioned by force-fed crap that they can recognize and appreciate real music when they actually get a chance to try it.

If there was a market for "actual, literal country music" it would be out there.

not only southern markets.


Some folk and Bluegrass are country. People don't like it anymore because they no longer associate with blue collar or being a poor white person.

Country is supposed to be white mans soul music. If it defines the struggle people face today, it would be trying to get the tailgate down and the beer open quick enough to see some chick dance in the bed of a truck.

A lot of modern music has lost it's soul, not just country.
