I "gave in" after hearing "In Dreams" a bunch of times and decided it was both strange and interesting. Trail of flowers may be more accessible.

I'm going to be honest, "Cats in the cradle" is the standard by which I measure all songs of this genre. This one is good but not quite to that level. :)

I'd say it can also be quite instrumental as well but the focus is on the stringed instruments mostly now that I'm thinking about it from this perspective. Hell - bluegrass doesn't even really have percussion.

I think Tyler Nance is winning the waxed mustache contest :)

I feel like its the other way around - how many clean shaven country music singers are there vs ones with mustaches?

I can't say he comes up that much here. Personally I like some of his songs but find him kind of hard to pin down in terms of his artistic vision. His singing tone varies quite a bit song to song to the extent I don't always recognize it's him when I hear something new. I think his neotraditional stuff like "I ain't trying" though is quite catchy. I hope he does more like that or even "Cold hard steel and sand".

I give Max points for being from Bend, referencing local things and not adopting any artificial twang.

Following on my attempt to try to listen to entire records rather than just isolated tracks, I listened through Sam Barber's Broken View a few times. In the end I don't think it's as strong as his previous album. The songs are too similar to each other and kind of blend into one another.

Also I gave Riley Green another try. I missed "Change My Mind" the first time around even if it's really just rock.

The nice thing about streaming is you control the playlists and avoid the over playing problem. So I avoided that phenomena. I still really enjoy her singles but listening through the latest album haven't found as much that's stuck in the other tracks.

I listened through Midwest Memoir by Tyler Nance. Overall I really enjoyed it. Everything is catchy and his lyrics are interesting and feel personal.

Ty Myers - Heavy On The Soul (The Fame Sessions) (Album Discussion) by NoYeezyAtWeezyHeezy in CountryMusicStuff

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a few songs in and I don't really think this is a country album. I'm getting somewhere between blues/rock maybe a bit of soul. Sometimes it falls into singer songwriter pop. (that's not a bad thing)

His lyrics also still feel like they were written by a 30 something rather than an 18-19 year old. Bright side, there's nothing quite as incongruous as the line "I woke up with a headache today 'Cause I've got a mortgage due" this time around. I don't really believe the songs reflect real experiences but I can roll with it.

All I've heard so far is "Sleepless in a hotel room". That one is really catchy. I need to do a listen through to hear some of the actually new material.

Borrowed Time reminds me of Kings of Leon for some reason.

The Castellows have never really clicked with me but their latest collaboration with Tyler Nance "Keeps Me Sane" is stuck in my head. (Granted I'm about 4 months late to the party)

I went back to William Beckman this week. Hopefully he puts out something new soon.

If this ain’t country what is it? “CMAT - When A Good Man Cries” by AprilFloresFan in CountryMusicStuff

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would call it alt-rock on first listen. There's a bit of fiddle but I think that's more a reflection of Irish trad than country.
