I like Sugarland's songs as well. I never put it together than it was their lead singer that was singing on Bon Jovi's new song until recently. I remember liking that song when I first bought his new CD months ago, and I knew who Sugarland was, just never made the connection.

Re: Good Country Music

Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Pat Green, Montgomery Gentry, Big and Rich

Pat Green is the ****, man. You should check out his live albums.

You should look into Jennifer's pre-Sugarland music then. She had a long, successful local career here in Atlanta before even forming the new band.

Had no idea, I'll have to do that.

Yeah, Sugarland and Dierks Bentley are opening for Chesney this summer, but in August, Sugarland drops off and Carrie Underwood hops on. I have tix for the 8/24 show of course...

Underwood's CD actually isn't that bad. I was surprised how it turned out, with it being her first post-AI release, and all. Once she gains herself a little control over the second album, I think she could go far.

Re: Good Country Music

You know LANDSLIDE is a remake and not originally a country song, right?

Yeah, I know that. I just didn't know who made the original. The song is just off the chain honestly with the harmonization on there. I love the harmonization that good singers do. Seems like lately, country music has been solid with it most consistently. Also a few christian types too.

Most wouldn't believe it, but Country music is the most popular music in the United States.

Then, again, I strongly encourage you to get into Nickel Creek and Mutual Admiration Society.

I can believe it. It's seems like it's so much more purer than all the other mainstream stuff. Out of all the types of genres that are played, you can find country music in basically every freaking state when you take a road trip. Never fails. Country music is also a pure music in which they don't synthesize every freaking beat they have in their head. I came to the realization at a young age about Rap and R&B music. Just weren't my feel since just about anybody could produce a beat. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!! I'm definitely going to check out a few of these joints. I'm converting a few of my classical songs to my ipod as we speak.......
