The 10:30 show last night was amazing and he only played two songs off the new album.

Shameless was one of the only notable omissions and I know he played it Thursday night.

Re: OS Country Music Thread

I regret not getting tickets for one of the Garth shows when he kicked off the tour here in Chicago.

It's a stupid reason, but I really, really, really hate when he goes into "Mr. Trisha Yearwood" mode and drags her out for some set of duets or whatever else they've done over the years. So I was "meh" on the possibility of that, and I guess that ended up not happening. Oh well. My mom, brother, and sister had a great time.

Garth was actually my first concert back in 1993. I can't remember much about how it happened (I was 8 and not privy to details), but he was here for a few nights; so my parents, aunts, and uncles bought a few tickets for each show and then just split them up so everyone was able to go to one show.

Re: OS Country Music Thread

Sorry if this has been mentioned in this thread, but I just have to say Sara Evans is one of the most gorgeous and talented female country singers in the business. I don't like a lot of female country singers but she is my weakness.

Actually used one of his songs at my wedding for the mother /son dance- "It's Your Song"

Garret Hedlund (Country Song, Friday Night Lights, Troy, etc.) has such a great country music voice.

My buddy put on some Zac Brown Band on the long ride home from New Hampshire this past weekend. Pretty good.

I listen to 0 country, mainly sticking to my underground scene of pop-punk/rock/alternative/whatever but I'm pretty much open to anything.

There was a good mix of songs off their album Jekyll + Hyde. Maybe it was a concept thing considering the title. Was that Chris Cornell on one of the tracks?

Re: OS Country Music Thread

Do you guys like late 90's and early-mid 2000's country? My favorite is George Strait, Sara Evans, Toby Keith, Deirks Bentley. Kenny Chesney's early stuff, and so many others I can't even name.

Re: OS Country Music Thread

I go through phases where I'll listen to metal, hip hop, and country. When I land on country that's usually the time period I'm in.

George Strait, John Michael Montgomery, Brad Paisley, Martina McBride, etc.

It's the country I grew up listening to and it trumps anything new easily.

There's a huge myth about country being dead, but there are still some good modern country artists that are good or fun to listen to as well.

Absolutely love Brad Paisley, doesn't take himself to seriously. And Martina McBride has a wonderful voice.

Like I said, don't know or listen to much country. But there seems to be a strong cast of country artists out. Maybe not straight on country, more pop-country artists. They seem to be pretty popular with many age groups and draw well.
