What's up you guys! Meet my buddy Hugh, who's one of my absolute favorite people to talk country music with. Today, we are going over some of YOUR hottest takes. We cover Florida Georgia Line (00:56), Texas country music (2:46), Jon Pardi (5:26), Riley Green (7:07), Chris Young (9:31), Sturgill Simpson (9:39), Luke Combs (11:34), and Miranda Lambert (13:35). I think you're gonna like this one, so if you do, hit like on the video! And let me know if we should make more in the future. (In less noisy locations, of course.)
Totally dug the hot takes. Disagreed with a few, hey I'm an okie I'm biased! Red Dirt (Jason Boland, Turnpike) is where it's at. Childers is a beast though. Anyway keep at it. First time posting but long time viewer.
Grady Smith got take: Miranda Lambert is the farthest thing from a legend. She sucks at country music, and came out with some of the worst songs of the decade, especially Liittle Red Wagon. Tegan Marie is the future of women in country music.
Texas country (as a whole) is more "country" than most anything being put out in the last decade. But, it isn't the only country. There have been a few from Nashville. And, I don't agree the Appalachian country artists are "more" country than Texas artists unless you are going back to the 20's and 30's. Appalachian is more Americana/folk + country. Texas country is more 50's - 90's country - western. Of course, I'm more a fan of the country western vibe and less a fan of Americana/folk stuff. It all has a place in country music radio as they both sing and actually play REAL instruments - just leave the pop/hip hop/bro country/snap tracks/electronic loop/can't hire an actual human band to play the music stuff to its own genre and call it pseudo country!
Cody Johnson is the future. His guitar talent alone sets him apart from 99% of the manufactured country genre. Add his vocals and background... dude is solid gold. A vetera entertainer. Puts on a better show than anyone out there.
Emanuel C570 man, I just listened. Vocals, energy and song structure ain’t up to the task. The overall feel is solid Texas, but’s it’s not very good in my opinion. Since Cody first stepped on stage he’s been blowing people away. It was clear early on he was going for King George’s Crown
James Connors he has trouble right now breaking into shows because of his high energy and talent. Imagine anyone out there right now having to follow up Cody’s show. Lol people are like fuck that. If you’ve ever had to do open mic night or a gig right after a fucking other worldly talent... not a good feeling lol
Texas Country has become such a diverse genre it’s hard to speak of it as a whole. There’s a huge difference between Koe Wetzel and say Flatland Cavalry and Randy Rogers. There are definitely plenty in Texas/OK Country who are as traditional as “Appalachian Country”. It’s just that the Appalachian sub-genre is smaller and less diverse. That being said, most Texas dancehalls I’ve been will play Tyler Childers every night. Good country music can come from anywhere.
I’m from southern West Virginia and I looove hearing you guys talk speak so highly of Appalachian music. It makes me feel proud even though I have no hand in the music scene lmao
Just an idea for a video you could do late September or early October but what about a top 10 international country artists? You could include people who sing Regional Mexican, Sertanejo, folks from Australia & Canada, etc.
Grady, this is one of your best episodes yet. I play country music, I love country music, it's all I listen to and now that me and my buddies all have families and are much more busy we don't get together as much so we don't get to talk about music and who we like and who we don't , do. Who's got a great song out at the time etc. So being able to listen to watch your channel and hear your take is almost as good as my buddies and I talking about it. So thanks for this channel and the work that you do. I appreciate you!
This was good. Sometimes it feels like "people" are trying to divide country music into too many pieces. It's country. That's it. Some of the stuff that's called country now, isn't. Kudos to them for banking on the general public's musical ineptitude :)
Alex Thomas you really think Houston is better than Dallas. LMAO. Houston is so dirty and ghetto, DFW is much cleaner. The only thing Houston does better than Dallas is the food, but other than that Houston is ugly, smelly, disorganized, and just a terrible city in general. Houston also has a massive crime rate and homeless population. Tents are set up anywhere and everywhere. Drugs run rampant through Houston too. Terrible place to raise a family.
Saw Cody Johnson in Waco back in May. Absolutely amazing show. Y'all need to check out a Texas dude named Randall King. I think his time is coming to start to win some popularity like Cojo if he wants to do so.
The thing that I think drives the “discussion “ is that today’s version of country radio covers everything from rap to rock to bubble gum pop to stuff that sounds more “traditional “ and stuffs it all into a short enough rotation that I myself find it hard to understand why it’s all labeled as “country music “
@@JaredSutter DUDE CS HAS CATALOGUED OVER 1000 SONGS SINCE 2001!!!!!!! HE HAS OVER 250 SONGS THAT HAVE BEEN RECORDED BY MULTIPLE COUNTRY MUSIC STARS (GEORGE STRAIT, KENNY CHESNEY, ALAN JACKSON, LITTLE BIG TOWN, DWIGHT YOAKAM, JOSH TURNER, MIRANDA LAMBERT, TRACE ADKINS, BLAKE SHELTON, RASCAL FLATTS, JASON ALDEAN & COUNTLESS OTHERS)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BESIDES ALL OF THAT CS HAS BEEN NAMED THE COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST/SONGWRITER OF THE DECADE (2010-2019) BY THE CMA GUARANTEEING HIM TO BE A COUNTRY MUSIC LEGEND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!
I’ll say this. The best country is coming out of Appalachia. The reason is because of the struggles they live with. I think a lot of people can relate to it. New country is for high school boys who don’t see real world stuff. Nothing wrong with it but I think that’s why people are starting to like it more
Red dirt country and Texas country is different. Red dirt isn’t just “Texas country music”. Texas country is Texas country artists. We include people like Tyler Childers to red dirt country 😝
Have you guys heard Georgia time or Runnin with an Angel by Riley Green? Those two are not anywhere near "checklist" songs. Keep up the good vids Grady! I watch every video you put out
Miranda is an outlaw legend but to say she’s the only one from this generation is just stupid when we have people like Eric Church, Jamey Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill, Turnpike Troubadours etc
As an obnoxiously proud Texan, and huge red dirt fan, I have to agree with the hot take. Red dirt now has just turned into indie bro country. There are still great bands in red dirt, but they don’t get near the air time as the more broish acts do.
Beer Never Broke My Heart is a party song and a song you’ll hear everyone belt out at the bar, but so is…Friends in Low Places lol. Definitely not Bro Country.
Honestly, Keeper of the Flame by Miranda Lambert is insanely well written, and it goes to show where her head is in terms of how the genre is changing so drastically. She is one of my favorite artists, so I am trying to present this as unbiased as possible: when you compare Miranda to other women in country at this point in time, she is the most true to her roots, aside from a few. Up until Wildcard, which is unreleased (but I suspect it will be more mainstream), she has never conformed in an effort to be played on the radio. Pistol Annie’s is up there with that, and I believe The Highwomen will be a more popular version of the Annie’s just because of their agenda and lyrical content. Nobody will ever be as legendary as Dolly Parton or Loretta Lynn, just like nobody will ever be as legendary as George Jones or Johnny Cash. It’s what we’re stuck with in this weak and feeble moment of country music.
Ahhhh..... Thank you! I was getting a little triggered with all the Miranda bashing. I believe she will be a legend and the more ppl say she want the more she will prove them WRONG!
I remember hearing Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel" and thinking alright Appalachia! Texans loved that song, especially to dance to, and I frequently referred to as best song to come recently from East of the Mississippi. Then that guy from Hootie and the Blowfish went and rui- I mean covered it, and now that's the only version I ever hear..... Texas Country is the best country, but if there's something I should see from Appalachia, let's do some regional episodes highlighting what they gots to offer.
You guys definitely speak my language on country music whether or not I agree with everything. Miranda is very underrated in my opinion and Midland as well.
It is really important to note that not all Texas country music is the same in and of itself. Music produced by musicians in the Panhandle say, has a much different sound from those in central Texas or even east Texas.
Agree with the semantics of bro country you said. I like Luke Combs because his stuff is relatable and funny. Whereas bro country feels cheap and lazy, trying to appeal to very few people
I think the thing with bro country is that it seems so fake. You know they aren't actually going to a bonfire on Friday night, they've got tickets to sit courtside at an NBA game or something. Luke Combs is so believable as a down-home country boy that he just isn't bro country. He would go do an afternoon concert at the fairgrounds then head out mudding. He's too real to come across as a bro.
@@MrsRen Yes, absolutely! Refrigerator. Every country artist has fun party songs and some genuine attitude. To call if a bro country artist is like calling a lot of other artists one too
Very good discussion. I agree with almost all of your guys conclusions. I do think Miranda will go down as a legend though...maybe for not all the right reasons! Ha! Her music is pretty great. I think you should do a breakdown of major artists from maybe the last say three decades. Some could over lap, depending on influence. I know top tens are over done at times, but I believe your audience would enjoy it. Thanks again for the great content!
Texas Country is the natural progression of Western/Swing....Appalacian is the natural progression of Bluegrass....it's all on your taste. I'm more Western/Swing personally
Woke up today. Decided to kill my ego. Don't get that confused with annoyance with Nashville!!! He a GD saint! Long live real ass country music! Usrt23 Mark search. Join us!
Hey Grady, been following your channel for a while now and appreciate your takes on everything. This convo with Hugh was great- definitely do this again! :) #HughSmash
Listen to Chris Knight, Turnpike, William Clark Green, Parker Mcollum, No Justice, seven Miles south, Wade Bowen, Rob Baird, Randall king, Austin Meade, Ryan Wilcox, Kolten Moore, Adam hood, Zane Williams, six market blvd, Brandon Rhyder, shotgun Rider, Y’all can keep your FGL lmao!!!
THANKS DW! FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING THAT I & MY WIFE HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. HE HAS SOME GREAT EARLY SONGS BUT HAS SETTLED FOR GREAT LYRICS WITH EXTREMELY BORING MUSIC TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF HIS LATEST MUSIC!
Don’t clump Turnpike in with Cody Johnson and Aaron Watson. There’s a big difference between Texas country and the highly superior Oklahoma Red Dirt scene.
What's up you guys! Meet my buddy Hugh, who's one of my absolute favorite people to talk country music with. Today, we are going over some of YOUR hottest takes.

Totally dug the hot takes. Disagreed with a few, hey I'm an okie I'm biased! Red Dirt (Jason Boland, Turnpike) is where it's at. Childers is a beast though. Anyway keep at it. First time posting but long time viewer.
Grady Smith more it good!
Check out Chris Knight.
Grady Smith got take: Miranda Lambert is the farthest thing from a legend. She sucks at country music, and came out with some of the worst songs of the decade, especially Liittle Red Wagon.
Tegan Marie is the future of women in country music.
Can we get another one of these already? This was great 😂
Yes! I thought the panel format was so great. And Hugh was very articulate and rational about his points. It really added positively to Grady's video.
Agreed. Like this style a lot.
Intro is perfect. Any intro longer than 2 seconds is so annoying.
God bless!
I like this friend of yours. Y'all should get together on a semi-regular basis for hot takes like this.
God Bless
Florida Georgia Line is the Limp Bizkit of country music.
@osp80 Florida Georgia Line; equally parts bad, equally parts sellouts.
A mix between limp biskit and nickelback maybe?
That’s an insult to limp bizkit
Só De zoas Threw up I’m muh mouth.
joses box what?
This should definitely be a semi-regular segment 👍🏼👍🏼
"Hot Take Lake" --- anybody? anyone? Bueller?....
Sturgill Simpson is the best artist named in this video
Join us promoting great current country music! TH-cam search USRT23 Mark!
Sturgill is the man!
Definitely need to do this on a 4 or 6 month basis! Fun to listen to the banter between you two and the interesting takes submitted!
Hugh has a sharp mind, and is very relevant. Your duet works perfectly.Thx guys 🤗
I'd love this series.
Texas country (as a whole) is more "country" than most anything being put out in the last decade. But, it isn't the only country. There have been a few from Nashville. And, I don't agree the Appalachian country artists are "more" country than Texas artists unless you are going back to the 20's and 30's. Appalachian is more Americana/folk + country.

Completely agree
Your right. Help us fight the good fight! TH-cam search USRT23 Mark. Join us!
Cody Johnson is the future. His guitar talent alone sets him apart from 99% of the manufactured country genre. Add his vocals and background... dude is solid gold. A vetera entertainer. Puts on a better show than anyone out there.
Amen! He could sing the phone book and I'd buy a ticket to see it
Check out Max Stalling, that's where the real nowdays Texas music is at
Emanuel C570 man, I just listened. Vocals, energy and song structure ain’t up to the task. The overall feel is solid Texas, but’s it’s not very good in my opinion.
Since Cody first stepped on stage he’s been blowing people away. It was clear early on he was going for King George’s Crown
Saw cody last week he opened up for george strait and Blake Shelton. Cody was the best artist on the stage that night hands down.
James Connors he has trouble right now breaking into shows because of his high energy and talent. Imagine anyone out there right now having to follow up Cody’s show. Lol people are like fuck that. If you’ve ever had to do open mic night or a gig right after a fucking other worldly talent... not a good feeling lol

Agreed
Great idea! Would love to hear more of you and your friend. ...Also that motor at the end sounds better than Blake Shelton’s latest single.
Totally agree with the Luke Combs take. Someone finally had the nuts to say it, because tbh it's trite country
Didn’t know Dierks Bentley and Matthew Stafford were buds.
Ha! I can't unsee it.
Did Hugh just say App-uh-lay-sha? For SHAME!
Yes. I'm a Texan, and I know dang well that it's Ap-pa-LATCH-a
I’m from southern West Virginia and I looove hearing you guys talk speak so highly of Appalachian music. It makes me feel proud even though I have no hand in the music scene lmao
This was great, guys .. and THANK YOU for not talking over one another !!
Great! Please make Hugh a regular!
Get that man a beer is a banger
Hey Grady thank you for featuring me. I was the IG story post with the TX Country take.
Thanks for sharing! Led to some great discussion!
Just an idea for a video you could do late September or early October but what about a top 10 international country artists? You could include people who sing Regional Mexican, Sertanejo, folks from Australia & Canada, etc.
Easy fix to all of this...listen to 60s - 90s Country and ignore current garbage until Nashville starts putting out country music again.
Grady, this is one of your best episodes yet. I play country music, I love country music, it's all I listen to and now that me and my buddies all have families and are much more busy we don't get together as much so we don't get to talk about music and who we like and who we don't , do. Who's got a great song out at the time etc. So being able to listen to watch your channel and hear your take is almost as good as my buddies and I talking about it. So thanks for this channel and the work that you do. I appreciate you!
I've been enjoying your channel for quite some time and I also enjoy Hugh Smashes. Keep up the good work!!!
I Got Away With You is Luke Combs best song in my opinion. It has steel and is very traditional
THIS WAS GREAT! Really entertaining keep pushin' em out!
This was good. Sometimes it feels like "people" are trying to divide country music into too many pieces. It's country. That's it. Some of the stuff that's called country now, isn't. Kudos to them for banking on the general public's musical ineptitude :)
Really liked Hugh until he said "appaLAYsha"
In the mountains of Western VA, no less. You have my permission to seethe against him.
That's literally the proper pronunciation though (Kentucky resident here)
Here in Nevada we CRINGE when people say Nev-AH-DUH, It’s pronounced “Nev-AD-a”.
Love this! You’ve been killing it on TH-cam! And this is definitely a keeper feature.
I saw Cody Johnson in concert up here in MASSACHUSETTS with GEORGE STRAIT!!!
As a Texas native & as someone who has lived in Houston, I completely agree with Grady about Houston. Houston sucks.
But it's better than Dallas (Houston native)
Alex Thomas you really think Houston is better than Dallas. LMAO. Houston is so dirty and ghetto, DFW is much cleaner. The only thing Houston does better than Dallas is the food, but other than that Houston is ugly, smelly, disorganized, and just a terrible city in general. Houston also has a massive crime rate and homeless population. Tents are set up anywhere and everywhere. Drugs run rampant through Houston too. Terrible place to raise a family.

As a San Antonio native, I can say this argument has nothing on the San Antonio-Austin rivalry
Great video Grady! Love the concept.
good move ditching the catch-phrase, always thought it was a bit defensive.
I understand what you are saying About Riley but you need to listen to bettin man by him
And Almost, Runnin with an Angel
Probably my favorite video you’ve released so far. I love it!
Saw Cody Johnson in Waco back in May. Absolutely amazing show. Y'all need to check out a Texas dude named Randall King. I think his time is coming to start to win some popularity like Cojo if he wants to do so.
You two should make these Hot Takes a regular thing! This was great.
Anyone from upstate New York just fangirled when they saw the wegmans logo on the cans they’re drinking 😂😂😂😂
Nick Merwin yup 😂
For sure. I'm like wait a second here i recognize that logo
The thing that I think drives the “discussion “ is that today’s version of country radio covers everything from rap to rock to bubble gum pop to stuff that sounds more “traditional “ and stuffs it all into a short enough rotation that I myself find it hard to understand why it’s all labeled as “country music “
Emely Noel sent me and I’m liking your videos!
Definitely hope this is a regular thing.
This video is AWESOME! Can we get more soon?
Alex@DriscolHere spelled Chris Stapleton wrong. He's the only modern legend I've seen in country in 20 years.
Stapleton has an incredible voice, and his debut was outstanding. But From A Room was just ok. He needs to build up a good catalog to become a legend.
He's somewhat generic in my opinion, great voice aside. Sounds like you can tell he used to be a studio musician, moreso than an original artist
@@JaredSutter DUDE CS HAS CATALOGUED OVER 1000 SONGS SINCE 2001!!!!!!!

BESIDES ALL OF THAT CS HAS BEEN NAMED THE COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST/SONGWRITER OF THE DECADE (2010-2019) BY THE CMA GUARANTEEING HIM TO BE A COUNTRY MUSIC LEGEND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!
Lets be clear about something, the closest thing we have to a legend in country music today is Eric Church. He is a legend in his prime right now
This is factually correct, literally better than so many artists
Probably my favourite video you've ever done Grady. Keep up the good work 👍
I’ll say this. The best country is coming out of Appalachia. The reason is because of the struggles they live with. I think a lot of people can relate to it. New country is for high school boys who don’t see real world stuff. Nothing wrong with it but I think that’s why people are starting to like it more
Kyle Corbitt yes thank you 👏🏻
Your friend is spot on👍 you should make this weekly or every other week.
You two should a podcast
Travi B 1,000 percent
Red dirt country and Texas country is different. Red dirt isn’t just “Texas country music”. Texas country is Texas country artists. We include people like Tyler Childers to red dirt country 😝
Grady, I think should do country music dabates similar to the way other channels use the movie fights concept. That would be fun.
Have you guys heard Georgia time or Runnin with an Angel by Riley Green? Those two are not anywhere near "checklist" songs.
Keep up the good vids Grady! I watch every video you put out
Fun insight on some interesting topics in country music. I'd love to see more of these.
Loving these HOT TAKES
I hate that "Cowboy Country" is a label now...used to be a given.
Give us more hot take Hugh!
love this style of video!!! so fun to watch
Hugh is awesome and needs to be back on the channel soon!
“Take you out of it”
1:39 I'm no FGL fan, but Dirt is a fantastic song.
My exact words!
Like Hot Takes Hugh. Hope he joins you on a regular schedule..
Miranda is an outlaw legend but to say she’s the only one from this generation is just stupid when we have people like Eric Church, Jamey Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill, Turnpike Troubadours etc
As an obnoxiously proud Texan, and huge red dirt fan, I have to agree with the hot take. Red dirt now has just turned into indie bro country. There are still great bands in red dirt, but they don’t get near the air time as the more broish acts do.

HUUUUGH!!! I’m from Southaven!! We’re like twins 😂 Also...AGREE FULLY on Riley Green!!
Agree with the semantics of bro country you said. I like Luke Combs because his stuff is relatable and funny. Whereas bro country feels cheap and lazy, trying to appeal to very few people

More hot takes! I love hearing about the semantics of bro country. 🤣 And if anyone could be a legend it's Kacey Musgraves, that girl has my heart.
Grady nobody has been more critical of the crap being recorded now days ie Taylor Swift etc. than me, but you are doing a great job.
Taylor is not crap
David Leary Well I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. Lol 🙈
I loved this and your guest😍
Very good discussion. I agree with almost all of your guys conclusions. I do think Miranda will go down as a legend though...maybe for not all the right reasons! Ha! Her music is pretty great.

No way luke combs is bro
I agree he’s way better
Brooooooooooo.
Agreed Luke combs gives me the 90s vibes
he is 90s Toby Keith 2.0
Carson Janik Music he is very bro country
That background is so country I luv it!
Texas Country is the natural progression of Western/Swing....Appalacian is the natural progression of Bluegrass....it's all on your taste. I'm more Western/Swing personally
Grady, this is after my opinion the best video you ever made, i freekin love it and hope to see more videos like this
Great vid . More Hot Takes please 👍🏻
Woke up today. Decided to kill my ego. Don't get that confused with annoyance with Nashville!!! He a GD saint! Long live real ass country music! Usrt23 Mark search. Join us!
Hey Grady, been following your channel for a while now and appreciate your takes on everything. This convo with Hugh was great- definitely do this again! :) #HughSmash
Listen to Chris Knight, Turnpike, William Clark Green, Parker Mcollum, No Justice, seven Miles south, Wade Bowen, Rob Baird, Randall king, Austin Meade, Ryan Wilcox, Kolten Moore, Adam hood, Zane Williams, six market blvd, Brandon Rhyder, shotgun Rider,
Y’all can keep your FGL lmao!!!
1. Loved this hot takes!
2. What beer are y’all enjoying in this video?
This video is so awesome, also love all the *Hugh smash
I loved it. Great video!
Hot take: Upchurchs music is more country than Luke Bryans
Big fan of Hugh and the dialogue here! Bring him back!!!!
You should make a video about luke bryan songs you actually like. Ik there’s a lot of good and bad with him
Here’s to the farmer is one of his absolute best
Here’s a hot take...90% of Luke Combs songs sound the same.
THANKS DW! FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING THAT I & MY WIFE HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. HE HAS SOME GREAT EARLY SONGS BUT HAS SETTLED FOR GREAT LYRICS WITH EXTREMELY BORING MUSIC TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF HIS LATEST MUSIC!
For Riley Green Numbers on the Cars is the story Wish Grandpas Never Died needed
Don’t clump Turnpike in with Cody Johnson and Aaron Watson. There’s a big difference between Texas country and the highly superior Oklahoma Red Dirt scene.
You need to talk about country rap like bottle next ryan upchurch demun jones
Right!
I like this format. Do more.
I liked this I think we need more of these hot takes for the win
