On Garth: There is a certain time period where every thing he did ranged from decent to really good. I could put on his Ropin' The Wind album and still enjoy the whole thing today. I don't care about his politics. I appreciate his influences. It's just enjoyable music that is fun to sing along to.

Country music isn't just one thing. Music doesn't work like that. Country is folk and gospel and blues, just to name a few.

Paul Harvey at the lunch hour and Charles Grey the roving news fellow. Charles was amazing went to the crime and accident scenes in a car yet still beat the Flyboys to the scoop. I still think the KCPD and KCFD didn't talk to anyone til they spoke with Mr Grey.

I mean, was Sevens his last truly good album? That means he was a real powerhouse from about 1989 to 1997. A quarter century and he's still touring on those same 5-6 albums and that's about it.

Shania is where it derailed. She was pure pop and it sold well. I honestly didn't see much of Garth in the Bro-Country singers. His music never dipped into checklist songs. Maybe, American Honky Bar Association, but that was a blue collar anthem.

He was considered more folk in the 1979s. "Country Roads" has been astroturfed into the country genre.

Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Boland, etc. They should be the big stars of the genre.

People like him so much because of his "aw shucks" personality and some of it his politics too....those same people would never admit that Garth had a meteoric rise and then pretty much leveled out and dipped a bit. |

One has to wonder what would have happened if that Chris grained fiasco hadn’t gone off the rails and the film actually got made making the album make sense if his trajectory would be significantly different today. Maybe not, maybe even if everything went according to plan his fans would have still rejected it. A fun little game of what if anyway.

I think the Chris fiasco probably hurt him in a couple of ways... Traditional country fans saw.him trying to cross over into mainstream and pop and that never goes well for any artists. Second...it was his first time of not having great success with something he put out. It did ok by every other artists standard but not by what his normal standards were. |
