I have 'One More Drinking Song' stuck in my head so this may turn out interesting.
I had been trying to post something twice a week at least, and I was having no issues with it. However slowly I'm finding myself unable to say anything about country music today.
Why?
Almost every single artist sounds the same.
I heard Allen Jackson the other day and honestly I didn't even know it was him till the DJ said who it was. I go back and listen to his older stuff, "Little Bitty" in this case and it sounds like him. New stuff, sounds like everyone else.
I honestly can't tell the difference between artists anymore, and it's not my hearing, I sware they've taken lessons in how all to sound the same.
I mean sure you have a few that stand out still, Darius Rucker being one of them.
Females are the same way anymore, as well. Sugarland has that difference that I love cause I can tell her apart, same as Reba. But seriously I hear some songs now and I have to google who sang it.
I honestly miss the good old twang some of the singers had. I miss those oddities that made you go 'yep that's Dwight Yoakam' or whoever.
And just cause I can, A thousand Miles from Nowhere. Gotta love him in that video.
