Kid Rock

Randy Houser, Love & Theft, and Lost Highway.

Lost Highway is from Minnesota and I saw them live a couple years ago and they were great. They opened for Justin Moore.

Honorable mentions go to Chris Janson and Rick Monroe. Don't like any of the others.

Love and Theft, Kid Rock, and Chris Janson

[trebor]

Chris Janson / Randy Houser / Zac Brown Band
Chris: Very cool, more traditional song / Randy: Country in the 21st Century. I shouldn't, but I totally love it / Zac: Great pastiche of sound. Not 100% country but still way ahead of most recent releases.

Close runner-ups: Kid Rock / Love & Theft

Ashley Clark: Undecided, John "Mutt" Lange Bryan Adams/Shania Twain hybrid. Can't stand the melody of the chorus and its cheesiness.
Lost Highway/Blaise Streets: Not bad per se; but we had this all before and it's the kind of songs like "Beachin'" and "Sun Daze" that I don't like. Must admit, though, that Blaise Steets' instrumentation is quite nice (great use of the organs; cool retro feel) and might grow on me. 

Disappointing: Coming form successful singles both Rick Monroe & Philip Claypool deliver disappointing follow-up's; especially Claypool with possibly the most terrible song of the year; uninspired music and a failed attempt to humorous lyrics. Rick Monroe's track is solidly delivered country rock but lacks originality and it's yet another drinking song.
