Been fortunate to go to 5 of the CMA’s in the last 10 years and yes you’re right, those 3 are smoking!
Don’t particularly like some of the “new country” artists and sound but thank goodness for Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton and these country women!

I thought the CMAs were supposed to be family friendly.***

It's been a good show sensing some Texas and new outlaw sound influence

Country died with Waylon. It’s all pop now.

Sturgill, Tyler Childers, Brent Cobb, Ryan Bingham and many others disagree

It's out there if you look for it....hard to find on the radio or actually in Nashville but it's alive and well. Cody Jinks, Cody Johnson, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers Band, William Clark Greene, Stoney LaRue, Turnpike Troubadours, Flatland Calvary, etc.

Cody Johnson won big and performed and after years he's just now getting recognized by Nashville.

Jamie Johnson performed and Nashville has turned their backs on him since they veered towards pop and pretty people.

Brooks and Dunn won to the dismay of country pop duos.

Red Clay Strays were nominated along with others who don't get noticed.

Didn't say it changed Nashville back to the 70s but it did move in the right direction for once.

 

[Seinfeld]

Not bad at all, but prime Shania and Faith will always be hard to top

His off radio stuff is better though
Jamey Johnson's album dropped last week and it's outstanding!
Screw Brooks and Dunn, this ain't 1990
The Strays will headline next year. They just sold out both Wharf shows for July.
Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers etc got no recognition.
Bryan is the top draw in music right now.

That Kacey Musgraves is really something else.

We gonna have to update rules and have folks agree to them again.

I watched the George Strait part of last night's show and a little bit of Eric Church. Most traditional country is only played in pockets. You won't find it on the CMA awards. That pretty much goes for every kind of music out there. You won't find traditional forms of any music on the current playlists.

Jamey Johnson got arrested.

He may not be able to support his album with a tour.

Sturgill, Tyler Childers, Brent Cobb, Ryan Bingham and many others disagree

I know there are. But I don’t get the attraction to Sturgill and Tyler. As someone mentioned, Jamey is great. One good one that never gets mentioned is Whitey Morgan. I’m late to the game, but just discovered Blackberry Smoke a couple years ago. More Southern Rock but more Country that 99% of the acts out there and a great live band.

I had a Shania poster back then. Would say “Honey, I’m home” every day.

And that Faith Hill video with her in those silk sheets. Oh My!!!

And that red dress Reba had on that time! Think I read where it ended up in the Smithsonian.

I saw them at the Ryman a couple months ago, great show and very talented band.
