OD,
just lost a long post but basically I was saying I hope you fellas all have fun if you do get a few rampers to the festival, consider me there in spirit... wife and I had breakfast this morning in fact and discussed my next trip for quite a while, she knows I'm saving and am ready just counting down the time till I can come, will drive this time I'm sure, but Nashville is calling me big time. I can't wait till I'm eligible.
I know theres been a lot of "festival" talk on here which is cool, but to change just a bit I want to get MAB's and anyone else's opinion on a couple songs, a guy from down here named Cody Johnson who's making some big waves... playing a cool festival with Eli Young, Wade Bowen and a couple other big Texas names he has a current number one on Texas charts called "Me and My Kind" which you can hear by clicking this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqblX83AwD4
MAB,
I'd like your take on how that song would be received in Nashville if you wouldn't mind...
Here is another one he wrote which went to number one off the same album a few months ago called Cowboy Like Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBGtfc_oI9I which happens to be the title track of the album, and my favorite song off his current album. I LOVE the intro using the sound effects, and the words from the old man, which I personally think doesn't get done enough, I was surprised when I heard it, the quote from the old man, that's something I was always used to hearing in "cough" hip/hop and mixtapes, but thought little snippets like that really built up a song like a good intro to a movie. Just an opinion.
Real quick he really is a cowboy, through and through, rode the circuit, not a "wanna be" if you will, pure Texan and is a 100% "HAT ACT" in an age of Cap Acts I'd like you guys to opine how you think Nashville would recieve an artist like this. Just curious...
the kid
Here's one more a bit more dance hall style called "Dance Her Home" just to listen too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAltOF9cEyg
