I know, I know…Nashville Sucks, blah blah blahhdiddy blah. Even though I have to go with that theory because I am very susceptible to the power of brain-washing, I really LOVE this song.
Lee Brice’s “Hard To Love”:
My inner jury is still out about his abundant mancessories, but I think they might work for him. This “Nashville” ditty doesn’t have anything to do with beer or trucks or cowshit or po-po’ing or boom-booming or humping on some hay in a barn loft, so I am not sure we will hear much of it on the radio. I hope it doesn’t die like Chris Young’s “Neon”.
How dare they sing country music?
Did anyone see the DISGUSTING chair in this video? BARF…that stuffing has bound to have some communicable diseases living in it.

The problem with Nashville isn’t that Nashville sucks. And it’s not that there’s no real country music. And it’s not that there aren’t a whole lot of great artists. And it’s not even pop country, which can actually be quite good at times (like young Mr. Brice’s work).
The problem with Nashville is the records companies choose trendy sounds and themes over artists with staying power. Then when the trend is over and we’re sick o’ the shit, they’re caught with their pants down (not in the Randy Travis 2012 way) until a handful of good artists finally step in an bail ‘em out (in the Randy Travis 1987 way).
