Phenomenal song that will probably never be heard. Chris has the perfect mix of country, blues, and 80's southern rock. His vocals remind me of Stevie Ray Vaughn's a bit, one of my favorite artists. Glad to see they're at least throwing this out, because its a great tune.

Its now making sense on the OTV delay :) No way in hell this gets picked.... Way too country...they're ultimately just going to go with the cliche, boring "Backroad Song" I think you might have missed my sarcasm |

Does anyone think Chris's CMA nominations will help him gain any momentum on country radio? I've seen so many posts both on Pulse and on Twitter ever since nominations were announced, where people admit they hadn't heard of Chris beforehand but absolutely love him after giving his album a listen.

What about a performance slot on the CMAs, does anyone think that will happen?

Can't wait for him to show the rest of them how it's done! Yeah, He's also a BNA and Album of the Year nominee. I can't imagine he WOULDN'T perform but they may limit it to a 1:30 slot a la George Jones way back. The whole album is great but I'd have thought "Parachute" would get a country radio shot if they were gonna send anything else there. Sadly, though, I think many will hear his voice on this if performed live and think he's screaming instead of singing. As The Donald has said, I've heard "lots" of complaints about Chris' penchant for 'screaming' instead of 'singing' (I don't see it but putting it out there). |

I love this. One of my favorites on the album. The follow-up to "Nobody To Blame" needs to be "Tennessee Whiskey" or "Parachute" though.
