He wrote "Back When I Knew It All" for Montgomery Gentry and a couple Brad Paisley songs. | Eric Church is pretty good.
I love me some Trent Willmon. I saw him in a Bar in Nashville last year. He killed it. Beer Man is one of my favorite songs.

| This thread has been off the board for a long time, so it's back.
A while back i was telling some of you guys about some Texas Country/Red Dirt music, this site is the BEST!!! RadioFreeTexas.Org
You can request songs, and really broaden your listening horizons, quite a variety of Red Dirt, as well as old favorites from the Outlaw group.

| I really do NOT like most country music (even though I grew up in a rural town and was always surrounded by it.... that might be the problem). I used to like Garth, Nitty Gritty, and Randy Travis back in the day, but they're long gone now.
I got lots of respect for Johnny Cash, George Jones and Hank Williams.... very little for Kenny Chesney, Tobe Keith, and the countless other "neo-country" types. It just all seems re-hashed to me.
A good friend of mine drug me to a Brad Paisley concert about a year ago. Even though I went kickin' and scremin', I must admit, that guy is pretty awesome. We had a blast that night. "Alcohol" is my favorite song of his. | |

| I've seen Brad a few times, and he is, if nothing else, a showman. He also plays alot of songs with a gospel/grass pitch that don't make it to radio, but are well worth a listen. That, and he's about the only radio country guy who picks his own guitar on stage. I've seen Kenny C a few times, both times slamming away chords without moving his hand on the neck at all.
