Oh Zack By The Way you forgot a song  ;)

Haha, no I just haven't heard it yet. I'll get around to it :)

[sabre14]

"Whiskey On My Breath" is still eligible. "Light Me Up" has been finished for a while, actually. zack97

[Deleted]

A few weeks into the month, but oh well!

I'm still catching up on some of the most recent releases (there's probably about a dozen new tracks that I haven't heard yet), but due to all the fieldwork I've done since the beginning of October, I listened to a ton of country radio. What else are you gonna do when you're in a tractor for 12 hours a day? :)

So, with that said, here's what I'm enjoying...followed by the instant station-changers.

Good:

01 "Burning House" - Cam
02 "Mr. Misunderstood" - Eric Church
03 "Break On Me" - Keith Urban
04 "Riser" - Dierks Bentley
05 "Running For You" - Kip Moore
06 "Nobody To Blame" - Chris Stapleton
07 "Move On" - Clare Dunn
08 "Dime Store Cowgirl" - Kacey Musgraves
09 "Country Nation" - Brad Paisley
10 "Tonight" - Ryan Kinder
11 "Head Over Boots" - Jon Pardi
12 "Little Bit Of You" - Chase Bryant
13 "Stay A Little Longer" - Brothers Osborne
14 "Already Callin' You Mine" - Parmalee
15 "Southern Belle" - Scotty McCreery
16 "(This Ain't No) Drunk Dial" - A Thousand Horses
17 "Hole In A Bottle" - Canaan Smith
18 "Shut Up And Fish" - Maddie & Tae
19 "Cold Beer Conversation" - George Strait
20 "I Met A Girl" - William Michael Morgan
21 "Drinkin' Town With A Football Problem" - Billy Currington
22 "Nothin' Like You" - Dan + Shay
23 "Ain't No Trucks In Texas" - Ronnie Dunn
24 "Night's On Fire" - David Nail
25 "Next Boyfriend" - Lauren Alaina
26 "Smoke Break" - Carrie Underwood
27 "Time For That" - Clint Black
28 "Yup" - Easton Corbin
29 "I'm Comin' Over" - Chris Young
30 "The Driver" - Charles Kelley f/ Eric Paslay & Dierks Bentley
31 "Getaway Truck" - Aaron Watson
32 "I Am Invincible" - Cassadee Pope
33 "I Like The Sound Of That" - Rascal Flatts
34 "Boy & A Girl Thing" - Mo Pitney
35 "That Don't Sound Like You" - Lee Brice
36 "Stone Cold Sober" - Brantley Gilbert
37 "Pain Killer" - Little Big Town
38 "Real Men Love Jesus" - Michael Ray
39 "When I'm Gone" - Craig Morgan
40 "Freaks Like Me" - Joe Nichols

(And for the record, I do like Sam Hunt's "Break Up In A Small Town" quite a bit, but I don't consider it a country song. Country radio doesn't determine what is and isn't country to me. Anyway, so yeah, I do like Sam's song, but I didn't place it in my top 40).

Bad (aka instant station-changers):

01 "Break Up With Him" - Old Dominion (Lord have mercy, this song is just AWFUL)
02 "Let Me See Ya Girl" - Cole Swindell (this is pretty much a tie with Old Dominion's sh*t song)
03 "Strip It Down" - Luke Bryan (if I hear this one more time...)
04 "Anything Goes" - Florida Georgia Line
05 "Gonna Know We Were Here" - Jason Aldean
06 "I Got The Boy" - Jana Kramer (sorry, just can't stand her vocals; I've tried, I really have, but this one is an instant station-changer)
07 "Mind Reader" - Dustin Lynch (IMO, Dustin completely sold out with his sophomore album. It's all sleazy bro-lite stuff and I'm not a fan)
08 "Top Of The World" - Tim McGraw (this one isn't horrible, but it's just so freaking boring. Tim is so much better than this)
09 "Gonna" - Blake Shelton (yawn)
10 "Die A Happy Man" - Thomas Rhett (Thomas literally annoys me, and I don't like the lyrics here. Production is decent, but not enough to save it)
11 "We Went" - Randy Houser (similar to how I feel about Tim's song; this song is just so beneath Randy. And the "driving through the corn field" lyric is laughably bad)

Indifferent:

"I Love This Life" - LoCash (generic lyrics, below average voices...the song itself doesn't really bother me though)
"Dibs" - Kelsea Ballerini (I wanna like Kelsea, I really do, but I'm not really feeling this one. That said, it's not a station-changer)
"Run Away With You" - Big & Rich (OMG I've heard this like 400,000 times...can it go away already?)
"Backroad Song" - Granger Smith (I nearly put this as #12 on my bad list...it's just so boring)
"21" - Hunter Hayes (never been much of a Hunter Hayes fan, but at least this one is listenable)
"Beautiful Drug" - Zac Brown Band (still shaking my head at this release; not a bad song, but it really doesn't belong on country radio)

Haven't Heard:

01 "Home Alone Tonight" - Luke Bryan f/ Karen Fairchild
02 "Better In Boots" - Tyler Farr
03 "Confession" - Florida Georgia Line
04 "Drunk On Your Love" - Brett Eldredge

(I think I might be subconsciously avoiding these top 4, LOL )

05 "High Class" - Eric Paslay
06 "Power Of Positive Drinkin'" - Chris Janson (I've loved all things Chris...I'm just WAY behind on new music)
07 "Crazy Over Me" - Dylan Scott
08 "You Look Like I Need A Drink" - Justin Moore
09 "Are You Ready For The Country?" - Hank Williams Jr. f/ Eric Church
10 "By The Way" - Lindsay Ell
11 "Beautiful Stranger" - Toby Keith
12 "Remembering" - Ashley Campbell
13 "It All Started With A Beer" - Frankie Ballard

(I'm pretty sure I'll like most of this bottom section)

"Little Bit of You" - Chase Rice
