Grady man don’t be afraid to just say yeee-NAW. Don’t worry about hurting someone’s feelings. These artists can take it and in fact there’s probably so many yes-men around them that they just never hear what they need to hear
They’re so good. And he mentioned that “Sunrise Tells the Story” failed as a single, which makes me sad. I love that song. I guess I could see how it’s not a single, but the story and the imagery is so good, and the chorus is so fun
I am a huge Zach Bryan fan and at first, I didn't like Something in the Orange at first, but now I cannot stop listening. The album is absolutely incredible
It’s hard not to like a song by Morgan Wallen. You proof is definitely more on the poppy side but somehow still feels pretty country to me. He’s the only guy I know of that’s been able to put out more pop sounding songs but also make them sound overall good.
As a newer fan of country music, songs like You Proof by Morgan helped me dive into this genre that I'm obsessed with now! The more country I listen too, songs like that appeal to me less now, but I still appreciate it on a more superficial level. Overall I like it, but I can see why others would hate it
He needs to officially release the Dangerous Session songs as their own full on album. The pop sounds and post production cut back make them 1000% better.
I listened to American Heartbreak from front to end this morning...didn't think I would but I just had it playing as I did chores and worked out...not a bad album. tho, I wasn't paying attention if there was a story throughout
Thanks so much for the shoutout, Grady! Can't wait for you to hear the song coming next month :) PS. I also think Carter Faith is craaaaazy great! So excited for this new wave of country artists!
I love thought you should know, but I also love You proof it’s the two different sides of his sound. I like the sound of You proof and I like the lyrics. Obviously I thought you should know is a better track overall but I really enjoy You proof.
Glad you've covered Caroline Jones. I've been a fan of hers and this new song takes the cake for me. Yeah, she's an independent artist but her daddy's fortune worth a billion according to Forbes. So it makes a lot of sense about the high budget videos and those tours tho
Carter Faith is my favorite new country artist! She's got a beautiful longing voice with amazing songwriting! You should also check out "Sinners in a Small Town" and "Leaving Tennessee" by her!
I honestly think Ingrid Andress is dope! She’s incorporating country with vocoders, blending mix with pop and 808’s she’s also such a great songwriter, honestly I’ve said it once, we are in 2022, the woman are killing it in country music and if they wanna explore/mix other genres let them do it! It’s there version of country music.
Morgan had to put out a pop-snap track release … keep that demographic of his fan base happy. I get it. I do sort of like how he can do such emotionally honest songs and the craptastic stuff like You Proof. He could have stuck to that genre and had a whole career. I don’t know if another label would have built his career like Big Loud has.
I've known nate smith since the 7th grade when he was in 9th. He has always been a great song writer, guitarist and vocalist! So happy for him! Great video!
Glad you covered Caroline. She’s a great guitarist and has an even better band play on her tracks, including my buddy Jason Roller who is one of the best musicians in Nashville
i would love to hear Grady's take on One Day Tonight by Noah Thompson, Red Bird by Hunter Girl, Can't Do It Without you by Lindsay Ell and Chayce Beckham
We just to create a new genre for the Kane browns of the world called Southern Pop, put it on a separate radio station and play real country on the country channels. Regarding Riley Green, “Behind the Times” is one of the more clever stories he’s written, if you haven’t listened yet worth it
Okay the Carter Faith song sounds cool. Apparently she's actually from North Carolina, which then made me think of Emily Scott Robinson who's also from North Carolina. Different styles and vocal tones, but how Carter was singing in the snippet at 6:35 reminded me of how Robinson has vocalized at points. She's currently signed to the label busbee founded.
For Riley Green, I definitely prefer the live version of "Hell of a way to go" he released a few weeks ago. It almost sounds like the lyrics were changed in post on the single version and the live version flows a lot better lyrically
100% agree. Seems to be a consensus for a lot of people. I loved the live version and I think it was changed too much. I still love Riley and the track though
I thought the same thing, I thought he needs to listen to the live version. Riley is my favorite artist and I didn’t even put the studio version on my playlist, I put the live version
Zach Bryan always had good songs, the hard part is they always are sad songs or self reflection, and I really go with it, but it limits the playlist you can put his songs in.
I struggle with the raspy/breathy vocal style of Ingrid Andress, and I don't like that vocal trend in general. For me, it makes Andress's voice disappear into every other vocalist she sounds like. I think her more serious songs sound a lot better.
Just a comment about "You Proof" by Morgan. I agree with you I am not a fan but it was interesting to see at the Church Wallen Ernest show in Minnesota this past weekend (6/11/22) that the ladies freaking love You Proof. I was shocked as I consider it one of Morgan's weakest songs along with Need a Boat. the local news papers ripped Morgan in their reviews of the show but loved Eric Church but to me they are showing their bias for Morgan's actions off stage. His show was great and I am glad I got to see him live in person. Anything with piano by Morgan hit you right in the feels and Whiskey Glasses really is a once in a lifetime song and is a great closer for Morgan shows.
Not all songs have to have a story. Some people just want to listen to upbeat music and feel good. It’s unfortunate that you consistently dislike happy music.
I'm a big Morgan fan and you proof is hands down my least favourite song too so thank you for speaking out^^ Maybe if he'd put out an acoustic version idk...
Can you explain to me what generally are the characteristics of modern country? Because of these songs wouldn’t be country if they didn’t see them in a phony southern accent? The hallmarks of old country of story telling and relying on natural instruments and not on electronics is gone. No one has it. So what it is supposed to be today?
Grady, there's a lot of great music recently but I don't think, as band, there's anyone better than Midland. They are country 100% not pop or rock or whatever. Their music is unreal, the lyrics are even better than Hardy (sorry y'all had to be said) and they cannot make a bad song. Midland deserve more hype, more attention and more visibility, they are the best you can get today.
If you haven't heard of the Turnpike Troubadours, they definitely take the cake over Midland for me. Absolutely amazing songwriting, and they sound amazing. Cheers. Love Midland too though!!
Hey Grady man, I think that you should give out more Yee-nas. When it’s bad just say that it’s bad. You’re a well-listened guy and we love you because you’re you- give us the real feelings. We can handle it!!! We are thinking it too! Your viewership has a good taste and the artists or anyone listening involved with them can take the criticism because they probably won’t get it anywhere else.
I don't understand why people try so hard to segregate pop country artists but they're not doing the same to Eric Church, Morgan Wade, Brothers Osborne, etc. 🤷🏼♀️ like if you're going to gatekeep one artist for being different then why not do it to them all?
i agree about the hypocrisy…but i still think there’s a big difference between country and country pop. & i do feel like they’re two different genres. anyways great point you had
My assumption is because they're considered country rock. They already aren't considered pure country. Country pop isn't a label used though, so people just dump it to the pop lable.
Happy "American Heartbreak" release day, everyone! Obviously I'll be covering it -- but I'm traveling this week, and this'll have to tide you over!
Soooooooo pumped for this album
Better get a video all to itself!!!
Grady man don’t be afraid to just say yeee-NAW. Don’t worry about hurting someone’s feelings. These artists can take it and in fact there’s probably so many yes-men around them that they just never hear what they need to hear
@@tattoofthesun you don’t like the album?
Godspeed
Im honestly so glad i started listening to midland. Something about their music is so irresistible and cant help yourself except to like it
They’re so good. And he mentioned that “Sunrise Tells the Story” failed as a single, which makes me sad. I love that song. I guess I could see how it’s not a single, but the story and the imagery is so good, and the chorus is so fun
*whispers* “A lot of country artists don’t like country music”
You nailed it.
I am a huge Zach Bryan fan and at first, I didn't like Something in the Orange at first, but now I cannot stop listening. The album is absolutely incredible

I feel like You Proof feels such like a Justin Timberlake song to me.
As a newer fan of country music, songs like You Proof by Morgan helped me dive into this genre that I'm obsessed with now! The more country I listen too, songs like that appeal to me less now, but I still appreciate it on a more superficial level. Overall I like it, but I can see why others would hate it
He needs to officially release the Dangerous Session songs as their own full on album. The pop sounds and post production cut back make them 1000% better.
Absolutely love “Thought You Should Know”!
My favorite
Thought you should know is probably my favorite Morgan wallen song with seven summers you proof isn't that deep of a song but it's a nice jam.
I listened to American Heartbreak from front to end this morning...didn't think I would but I just had it playing as I did chores and worked out...not a bad album. tho, I wasn't paying attention if there was a story throughout
Thanks so much for the shoutout, Grady! Can't wait for you to hear the song coming next month :) PS. I also think Carter Faith is craaaaazy great! So excited for this new wave of country artists!
Such an underrated artist!
Your new song is great! Also love some of your other songs like "Roses" and "Recycled." Keep doing what you're doing, it's awesome!
"A lot of country artists don't like country music" interesting.
"Yee-not actually country" is a great way to describe Ingrid Andress. Well done, as usual Grady!
I love thought you should know, but I also love You proof it’s the two different sides of his sound. I like the sound of You proof and I like the lyrics. Obviously I thought you should know is a better track overall but I really enjoy You proof.

I'm waiting to see what Grady says about Carries new song, " She Don't know"
Carter Faith is my favorite new country artist! She's got a beautiful longing voice with amazing songwriting! You should also check out "Sinners in a Small Town" and "Leaving Tennessee" by her!
Carter faith has been on my one to watch list for a minute excited to see where her career goes
I honestly think Ingrid Andress is dope! She’s incorporating country with vocoders, blending mix with pop and 808’s she’s also such a great songwriter, honestly I’ve said it once, we are in 2022, the woman are killing it in country music and if they wanna explore/mix other genres let them do it!

exactly. hes just having fun and putting out variety music, its not like he loses his talent or anything if he puts out a fun pop-trap kinda song
But to ask to be taken off an upchurch song ? Guy is a poser
@@adamhester372 Info on this? Why did he ask to be taken off?
@@justinkase1360 because there was a rebel flag in the video
@@adamhester372 Absolutely lame. Didn't Luke Combs do the same thing? I can't respect that.
I've known nate smith since the 7th grade when he was in 9th. He has always been a great song writer, guitarist and vocalist! So happy for him! Great video!
Not sure if you saw Grady, but Mitchell Tenpenny did a pop punk crossover and it fits him way better than him trying to do country.
zach bryan all the way! "Somthing in the Orange" is absolutely beautiful
Glad you covered Caroline. She’s a great guitarist and has an even better band play on her tracks, including my buddy Jason Roller who is one of the best musicians in Nashville
i would love to hear Grady's take on One Day Tonight by Noah Thompson, Red Bird by Hunter Girl, Can't Do It Without you by Lindsay Ell and Chayce Beckham
You should do “1x1” by Jake Owen in the next new country video. Excellent word play
I loved that song!
Damn grady you hit it right on the head with ingrid andress. Shes outta here the moment she has a chance to cross over. Wont miss her either
Just listened to Like I love Country Music today and was very surprised by it. Definitely my favorite thing he’s ever put out
I heard you proof and immediately thought the snap track and that Grady would be disappointed lol
“Whiskey On You” is such a banger! Definitely going in my BBQ Country playlist!
Midland and Pardi….awesome song!!!
We just to create a new genre for the Kane browns of the world called Southern Pop, put it on a separate radio station and play real country on the country channels. Regarding Riley Green, “Behind the Times” is one of the more clever stories he’s written, if you haven’t listened yet worth it
pop country already exists??
@@courtney.22 but that allows them to put it on country radio 😂
@@benkendrick2645 I don't have a problem with that.
@@benkendrick2645 yes that's the point..... there's more to country music than just traditional stuff
Thank you for covering Carter Faith! A new favorite of mine - loving her songs, "Lasso" and "Cowboys & Dreamers," as well.
Good to see Caroline and Carter making a video of your's 😀
Okay the Carter Faith song sounds cool. Apparently she's actually from North Carolina, which then made me think of Emily Scott Robinson who's also from North Carolina.

MIDLAND
I love both of those Morgan Wallen songs. I like the contrast of them how they sound and still are fun
Lol there is also “wasting whiskey” by the James barker band.
For Riley Green, I definitely prefer the live version of "Hell of a way to go" he released a few weeks ago. It almost sounds like the lyrics were changed in post on the single version and the live version flows a lot better lyrically
100% agree. Seems to be a consensus for a lot of people. I loved the live version and I think it was changed too much. I still love Riley and the track though

Carter Faith's Joyride one of my happiest favorite songs of the last year - highly recommend checking that one out. I would love to hear more from her
Ya need to do a full video on Nate Smith, especially his song sleeve or under my skin
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Go through Corb Lund’s newer album “Songs My Friends Wrote”
Alright. Where's the "Gradyent" merch????
Grady if you want another Whiskey song...check out "Wastin Whiskey" by James Barker Band. Add them to your list of Canadians to check out
Listen to leaving Tennessee by Carter faith it’s really good
Zach Bryan something in the orange is an all time song for me
Okay I guess I’m convinced I need to jump on the Zach Bryan train… or at least give the new album a shot!
Yes, definitely listen to American Heartbreak!
Please do yourself a favor, and give him a good listen to! You will not regret it!!
I was thinking Martina McBride right before you said it!
These are always my favorites. You listen to all the new music so I can skip all the new crap
I would love to hear your take on Locash "Beach Boys" feat Brian Johnston & Mike Love from the Beach Boys. I love it so much!
Highly recommend you check out Benjamin Tod
Totally thought if Martina’s song when I listened to greener pastures! Was geeking out to see that reference in the video
What do u think about. Dylan Scott's In Our Blood With Jimmie Allen
American Heartbreak throws back to something in the orange in the final poem
My favorite segment congrats to everyone💯
This video gets a big YEE-HAW from me
Something in the orange music video was great!
Thought You Should Know sounds like Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Zach Bryan always had good songs, the hard part is they always are sad songs or self reflection, and I really go with it, but it limits the playlist you can put his songs in.
Can you please review „Maybe In Another Life“ from Caitlyn Smith? 😊 I bet you‘d love that song!
I like that you’re completely honest
Im glad to see What About Georgia getting some love
Man, Something in the Orange is... amazing.
I've been listening to You Proof on repeat. It's good boot-scooting in the garage music. Let me be... this guy is a huge miss with a lot.
hes the best rn
Zach Bryan is the Truth and the Way.
I've been wondering when you were gonna mention Jenna Paulette in one of these
You gotta talk about Tyler Hubbard's 5 Foot 9! I absolutely love it!
I struggle with the raspy/breathy vocal style of Ingrid Andress, and I don't like that vocal trend in general. For me, it makes Andress's voice disappear into every other vocalist she sounds like. I think her more serious songs sound a lot better.
dude couldn’t wait for the luke combs album to drop before releasing this video
Thanks for the Mike and the Moonpies shout out!! Have you reviewed Marcus King yet?

Do you remember Ashton Shepherd?
Thanks Grant
You should cover country music girls and trucks by high valley and Granger smith
I'm a big Morgan fan and you proof is hands down my least favourite song too so thank you for speaking out^^ Maybe if he'd put out an acoustic version idk...
Maggie Baugh - Seein Somebody 👀
Really love the new outro music!
Came here wondering what you thought about heart like a truck by Lainey wilson
Grady-ent, makes sense that would be your favorite word
wastin' whiskey by The James Barker Band is another one of those songs lol ( i think its a jam tho)
Can you explain to me what generally are the characteristics of modern country? Because of these songs wouldn’t be country if they didn’t see them in a phony southern accent? The hallmarks of old country of story telling and relying on natural instruments and not on electronics is gone. No one has it. So what it is supposed to be today?
Grady you should listen to The Shires country duo from the uk released an album from April
Yes! I love The Shires and they are so under rated and deserve a lot more exposure here in the States.
Liking the new outro Grady!
I love one thing right ❤ Marshmello is awesome 🔥

@@nicholas_mi Of course I know TT and love them but to me Midland are on a different level; also more western, but to each their own :)
@@LucaInsanguine both great bands either way! My top 2 for sure.
@@nicholas_mi while we're talking, I'd throw the Flatland Cavalry there too. Watched them live last month, amazing.
@@LucaInsanguine they're good too for sure! I've heard a little from them and I'll definitely be digging deeper soon. Thanks for the recommendation!
Carter Faith is Martina McBride and Miranda Lambert had a baby.
What are your thoughts on Holy water by Michael ray ? I absolutely can't stop playing it
Lindsay Rimes does a lot of work with The Shires.
Carter Faith ❤️
1:10 Can someone please make a GIF of this?
jimmie allen "Down Home" what are your thoughts?
I feel like he covered it in a recent video, I can't remember though
Hey Grady man, I think that you should give out more Yee-nas. When it’s bad just say that it’s bad. You’re a well-listened guy and we love you because you’re you- give us the real feelings. We can handle it!!! We are thinking it too!

Still that Cowboy is probably my favorite recent song. I’m just a simp for Randy Houser music I guess
Ingrid Andress has written for pop artists like FLETCHER and boy band Why Don’t We so it’s not surprising she sounds more pop than country
Wasting Whiskey by James Barker Band is in that Whiskey On You catergory as well.
Where can i find country central ?
I don't understand why people try so hard to segregate pop country artists but they're not doing the same to Eric Church, Morgan Wade, Brothers Osborne, etc. 🤷🏼♀️ like if you're going to gatekeep one artist for being different then why not do it to them all?

I couldn't agree more
My assumption is because they're considered country rock. They already aren't considered pure country. Country pop isn't a label used though, so people just dump it to the pop lable.
Grady bro, gotta check out Jackson Dean
You need to listen to Caroline Jones' older son The Difference (Goshdamn.)
Listen to 49 Winchester
They are one of the best new country bands have a great sound
Is the anti-whiskey wasting songs in response to all the girlfriend-wife songs (Looking at you Kane Brown - "Worship You")?
