bboat Reviews Modern Country Radio:

Hello everyone! As some people are aware, the last couple months I have been taking myself on a self-directed exploration of Lorrie Morgan's career, to familiarize myself more with her as an artist by reviewing her output and assigning grades to songs as I listen to them. That has been such a positive experience so far! She has such a strong catalog that I am really enjoying doing a deep dive into!

However, I have been feeling like it might be fun to apply my same grading system to a wider variety of songs and see how it works. Lorrie is just so great that I am giving a ton of A and B grades....which is a great problem to have, lol. But what could be a better way to test the validity of my rubric than putting it up against modern country radio?!

So here's what I am thinking. It'll be WAY too much work to go back and rate every song that is currently charting... So instead, I am going to start lightly! When a new Billboard Chart gets released, I will write down every song that debuts that week, and then review each of those, doing one review every day or two until they're done. And then do it all again when new songs debut the following week. By simply starting with the songs as they debut on the charts, it gives me a nice small, specific list to work with, rather than trying to catch up on every song that is on the chart right now. Besides, eventually all the current songs will go recurrent anyway, and since I'll be reviewing each of their replacements as they chart, eventually I'll have a review for every song on the chart, lol. I guess it's like I'm rating the hits of the future!

Of course I am going to keep up my dive into Lorrie Morgan's career as well! That one will be my nice personal passion project, while this one will help me keep up with the modern country industry that I am so woefully bad at keeping up with... And due to the timeliness of all these songs, this might be something that more people might be interested in following along with :)

---

My grading system:

As I listen to the songs I will give them a grade based on the following criteria:
-Vocal performance
-Lyrical strength
-Melody
-How well does the arrangement fit within its intended genre?
-Production quality
-Mass appeal (how much hit potential does it have?)
-First impression
-Current/enduring impression (if it's a song I already knew)
-The song's replay value to me
-Flex score: What does my gut say that this song deserves?
-How creative/innovative/inspired is the song?
-How well does the song fit with the artist's overall "image"?
-Extra Credit points will be given for the presence of steel guitar/dobro (+2), fiddle (+2), and/or piano (+1) (what I have determined to be the holy trinity of '90s country instruments, lol!), and also mandolin (+1), and finally bari sax (+1) (the instrument that I play in real life!). So if you're keeping up with the math, a song can get up to 7 extra credit points for having ALL of those instruments. 5 for having fiddle/steel/piano, only 2 points if it has just steel, etc.

I will give it a letter grade based on how many points it receives from all those criteria collectively. The grade will follow the same standard grading scale that I give all my students when I am grading their assignments:
F = 0-59%
D = 60-66%
D+ = 67-69%
C- = 70-72%
C = 73-76%
C+ = 77-79%
B- = 80-82%
B = 83-86%
B+ = 87-89%
A- = 90-92%
A = 93-96%
A+ = 97-100%+

Lmao I have no idea how many posts I might need to reserve, so what the hell, here's another one!

[bboat11]

"Thinkin' Bout Me" - Morgan Wallen

70 BPM

Wheeeew, let's go ahead and kick things off with our first F grade I guess! Morgan Wallen got the highest debut on the chart this week with "Thinkin' Bout Me", and thus becomes our first modern country radio review. Well, it was a re-entry. But still, I figured I may as well add it to my list of songs to listen to.

I know Morgan Wallen is super popular right now, and in case any fans of his see this, I certainly don't intend to tank him to hell every time just because he's a s**t person who doesn't deserve the influential position in society that he has been blessed with. The way this rating system is set up, it evaluates each individual song on its own merits, rather than in the context of the artist who sings it or the album that it is on. I try to be objective as possible in separating the art from the artist.

That being said, Morgan Wallen has a tendency to veer headlong into non-country territory every once in awhile in such an extreme way that even Walker Hayes would blush. That is this song's biggest problem. But it's not just that the arrangement is not country, it's that it's also completely sterile and bland. The primary instruments seem to be acoustic guitar and electronic drum beats, with the occasional electronic synthesized instruments sprinkled in. The end result may be a sound that is popular in some circles, no doubt, but it doesn't quite do the job for a country fan who is used to hearing all the incredible musicians that country music is known for.

And as you can see from the percentage, this actually almost didn't get an F!!! If Morgan had incorporated even ONE country element, and gotten ONE extra credit point, he would have been in the D-range! I listened to this three times while reviewing, and the melody got a liiiiittle bit catchier every time I listened to it... That's where most of my positive feelings towards the song came from, actually!

Content-wise, this tells the tale of a man and a woman who have broken up, and she has started a new relationship, but he has a hunch that she isn't quite as over him as she is letting on. It's not a new concept for country music, and Morgan really doesn't add anything to the subject. Hence the 2/5 in terms of creativity. Also, side note about the "mass appeal" category. That category is intended to be from the perspective of country fans in general, old and new, how much hit potential does this have on country radio. So even though it clearly has a ton of mass appeal via streaming, that category is more for whether it sounds like a radio hit to country fans in general. My middling rank is because I have a feeling this would be pretty polarizing on country radio, despite the streaming success. I imagine this has only charted because of his star power anyway, and it'll probably go to pop radio rather than country if it gets an official release.

By the way, if anyone is wondering, the "intent of the song" and those descriptive words going down the right side of the graphic come from me putting the lyrics into Chat GPT and asking it some questions about the song just for funsies

[bboat11]

One last thing tonight, if there is anyone who would like to be tagged here when I post new reviews, please let me know! I would love to have other people following along and responding with their own thoughts about these songs if they feel so inclined, especially since some of these songs will be pretty popular! All are welcome in this thread, it's not just for me :)

[castleoblivion26]

I really like this idea and usually will listen to the songs you review. Morgan Wallen is an artist I will not listen to though so don't have any thoughts on that one. Please tag me though

[taylor is terrified]

Not this immediately kicking off with an F   

Tag me boaty!

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Please tag me in this thread as well! I've been enjoying your rating system in Lorrie Morgan thread, so I'm curious to see how the rating is applied the modern tunes! Maybe you can do some Canadian debut songs as well, if the US mainstream chart is too quiet!

"Thinkin' Bout Me" is one of the worst songs from the album, which I really liked, so hope it won't be released as the next single... And as you already pointed out, this song does not have any country element to it. The melody of 6.5 was pretty generous imo. 

[g8erboi]

Love this idea! Tag me please!

Lol yeah, the melody could have easily been like a 2 or 3 on first listen, but the more I listened I found it getting stuck in my head, so... 6.5 was generous, but it did get better from my first impression!

And yeah, I would totally do some Canadian songs as well! It would make your year-end rankdown a lot easier to do too! Lol. If you had to guess, on average how many songs would you say debut on the Canadian charts every week?

I feel ya, it could grow on me if I actually tried listening to it more than several times, but it's been skipped every time I spin the album these days, so haven't reached there yet lol.

In 2021 we had 60 new debut Canadian songs (including 3 holiday) in a year (106 in US). This year so far, we had 30 (including 3 holiday) so far (52 in US). Of course it varies from a week to week, but that's about 1-2 new debut song per week on average. For instance, there was zero new Canadian song this week, 3 in the week before.

Well shit, I can keep up with that! Especially since a lot of the songs will be duplicates from American radio too, meaning the songs that ONLY show up in Canada will be a smaller number than even that. So I'll try to do all of them if you'd like :)

Do you have access to the Canadian chart every week? I don't think it shows up in the Billboard PDF that gets posted in the Country forum every week... I'm wondering if maybe when a new chart comes out, you could put a post in here telling me which songs debuted in Canada that week, so I can add them to my list of songs to review?

"Bad Day To Be A Cold Beer" - Chase Rice

124 BPM

Chase Rice will never be my favorite person in the world either, but methinks he has a hit on his hands here!! "Bad Day To Be A Cold Beer" is a pretty standard country drinking song. The character has been "working like a dog", which has him feeling "dog tired". Fortunately, there is a bar that he and his buddies like to go to after working so hard, and you can bet he's about to hit it up on his way home!! The message may not be anything special, but there is something very relatable about the feeling of camaraderie that the characters in this song have with each other.

The hook of it being a bad day to be a cold beer is clever songwriting in that it leaves the listener implicitly feeling like "since I've had such a bad day, it's a good day to have a cold beer!", but then the hook itself inverts that message by being phrased from the perspective of the beer.

Instrumentally, this doesn't have any of the standout country elements that I like to give extra credit for, but the acoustic guitar does play a refreshingly prominent role in this song! That's why I still gave it a 4/5 in how well it fits in the country genre, despite not having any fiddle/steel. Chase himself turns in a performance that sounds like he is genuinely trying to sound country too, even doing slightly cool things with his voice every once in awhile (like the little inflection he puts in to "abra cadabra" at the end of the chorus). This feels like the sort of party song that could have come from a much better artist overall, like Joe Nichols or Eric Church. (This even feels very similar do "Drink In My Hand" in a lot of ways...)

I do think that the up, up, down, down, cold, cold repetition in the chorus is slightly annoying. But that won't stop people from enjoying it for what it's intended to be. I definitely will hold this in high regard in Chase's catalog!

LMAO I just went and read the single thread and saw that everyone else has been comparing it to "Drink In My Hand" too I've never been in that thread before, so I literally just organically had the same thought while listening to it! Clearly we're all onto something

Ohh I meant those numbers are only including Canadian songs. Due to the stricter recurrent rule, we have around 3 new entries on average per week, and of those new entries, 1-2 are  Canadians that are not duplicate from American radio. For instance, this week, we had two new entries, Combs and Kelsea, so zero Canadian. Last week, we had four new entries from Bailey, Teigen, Meghan, and Tenille Townes, so 3 Canadians, etc.

As for the chart, I can definitely let you know what songs debut in Canada each week. I have been thinking of uploading the top 50 Canadian chart on this Canadian country thread, but haven't had time to start doing it. Until then, I can reminding you every week.

"TRUCK BED" - HARDY

66 BPM

The fact that we're three days in and already started with two Fs... Y'all! I promise I'm not a hater or something! In fact, those who know my taste can attest to the fact that if a song is country, I usually at least slightly like it, even if it's something like "That's My Kinda Night" or "Burnin' It Down".

I guess that's the problem with these latest efforts from Morgan Wallen and now HARDY. They're not country! There isn't a single thing about this song that would justify it ever picking up a single spin on country radio. And where "Thinkin' Bout Me" at least had plenty of acoustic guitar to go along with the pop beats, this one doesn't even have much to it beyond synthesized sounds that ultimately give way to heavy rock guitars. There is no question that HARDY is developing a signature style, but he has also demonstrated that that style can still toe the country line pretty well with songs like "wait in the truck". So for an attempt to not even be made here feels lazy.

Where this song sliiiiightly edges out "Thinkin' Bout You" is that this one tells an interesting story. Sure, I gave them the same score for lyrics, mostly because they both successfully tap into emotions and have consistent themes without using much standout wordplay. But "TRUCK BED" is overall slightly more clever. The theme of the narrator's girlfriend/wife telling him that if he goes to the bar, he may as well not even come back home isn't all that clever or original, but HARDY puts a fun twist on it by going outside and drinking in the yard instead. It takes balls, and you almost have to respect the gamble! But in the end, he did not win, as she locked him out and he was stuck passing out and being hungover outside, waking up on the wrong side of the truck bed using an empty corn bag as a pillow and a camo jacket as a blanket. It's a clever twist on a popular idiom! Everyone has heard the phrase "waking up on the wrong side of the bed", but in this sense it feels particularly hick-ish and paints a vivid picture of a man who is pretty much hitting rock bottom. I like that he found a way to use a truck bed in an interesting way and not just referencing it to check off a stereotype box.

There is definitely a lot of potential here! But HARDY's artistic interpretation of this theme makes it sonically a disappointment.

"Truck Bed" is straight ASS. Horrible song. It's assuredly going in my bottom 5 when we get to the YE rankdown.

"'98 Braves" - Morgan Wallen

71 BPM

It's rainy and cold right now, so it feels like a good day to post two songs! Morgan Wallen had two re-entries on the chart this week, which means I'm rating him yet again. However, I would definitely say he redeemed himself a bit with "'98 Braves"!

For starters, we have our FIRST STEEL GUITAR SIGHTING!! YES!!! On top of that, the whole song is written as a bit of a metaphor comparing the highs and lows of watching a sports team with the highs and lows of a relationship, which is a moderately clever approach. Morgan sings about remembering how much of a sure thing it felt like the championship victory was going to be for the Atlanta Braves at the end of their '98 season, as they just seemed like such a solid, unbeatable team! Until the unthinkable happened, and the Padres showed them the devastating and brutal taste of defeat... Similarly, he had a relationship with a girl that he loved so much that he even started having proposal conversations with her dad, only for their unshakeable team to become another casualty of the complicated enigma that is love.

While the reference to the '98 Braves might seem rather niche and/or regional, the theme is still rather universal in that everybody can relate to the excitement and anticipation that comes from being a fan of something, only for it to ultimately lead to disappointment (whether it be some other type of sports team, or something completely different like a movie franchise, video game series, tv show, famous actor or musician, etc.).

This definitely isn't good enough to go on my A-list, as I do struggle to remember the melody when I'm not listening to it, but it is a solid effort from Morgan! He has had a couple more immediate songs for me, but he has also had WAY worse (see the other day lmao), so good for him for adding another pretty-good one to the list! I'd be fine seeing this become an official single.

'98 Braves is one of the highlights of the album to me. I hope they will push this over Thinkin' Bout Me. I would definitely agree that the writing comparing the highs and lows of sports and relationships is cleverly executed, and even though I was -1 year old when "98 Braves incident" happened, I can still understand and enjoy the writing involving the comparison. At the same time, I certainly do not mind learning a reference from a song, like I did in Tennessee Orange, as I had no clue the significance of the orange uniform in a football team. 

[.indulgecountry]

"98 Braves" is one of the better tracks on his new album, but I still feel it is a bit overrated. There's many other tracks I'd prefer get the single treatment over it, but I can't argue with it being given the chance at radio soon given that it's one of the tracks country radio is already chomping at the bit to play. At any rate, much, MUCH better than "Thinkin' Bout Me."

[bboat11]

"Somebody Else's Whiskey" - Frank Ray

82 BPM

After "Country'd Look Good On You", I didn't have high hopes for a followup single from Frank Ray. But "Somebody Else's Whiskey" is a huge improvement! I love how this song provides a humorous take on a breakup. It reminds me a lot of something like Toby Keith's "You're Not Leavin' (Thank God Are Ya)" (although not nearly THAT good, lmao. Just similar in theme!) The general concept of your lady leaves you, and you act sad about it at first, but deep down are actually incredibly relieved makes for a really solid songwriting angle that is quite fun to listen to.

In this case, she tells him she met "The One", and packs up and leaves right then and there, and he is secretly quite relieved because of the money he'll now save. It sounds like she is a bit of an expensive partier, and now she will be drinking somebody else's whiskey and running up somebody else's tab. Of course the twist that makes it pander more to country radio is that now there's more money and more alcohol for HIM, which makes it a lot less creative than the aforementioned Toby Keith song. Still, considering that I expected something as bland and uninspired as "Country'd Look Good On You", this is proof that Frank Ray might have the ability to stand out if he wants to! Since this overall theme is unique, this is definitely going to stand out to me when I hear it on country radio. I give it a B-, mostly for the creative story. But it could have been a solid B if it had one or two of the extra-credit country instruments! Arrangement-wise, this is about as bland and mainstream as it gets.

Tag me please! Then I’ll start listening to each song that you review! This will give me something to do between calls at work and then I’ll also be better prepared for year-end rankdowns lol I’ll try to share my thoughts from time to time too on the songs you review 😁

[castleoblivion26]

just got around to listening to everything (minus Morgan Wallen's 2 songs).

Chase Rice is awful and don't ever want to hear that again

I'm not sold on Hardy at all. I love "Wait In The Truck" but haven't cared much for anything else and this song is definitely forgettable and annoying

I think Frank Ray might have the first song here that I don't hate. It's fun and his voice isn't terrible, especially after Chase Rice and Hardy. Probably not something I'd seek out but I wouldn't change it if it was on the radio

[bboat11]

"First Rodeo" - Daves Highway

83 BPM

I'm not sure if Pulse even knew this song or this group existed until it/they randomly charted this week, lmao. Or at least I had never heard of them before! What a random occasion this is! Aside from my initial shock that a group that makes me think of a random guy named Dave is actually led by a girl, this was a pretty good discovery! For starters, this is instrumentally our countriest song in this series to date, with VERY prominent fiddle and steel scattered throughout. I think I heard a couple instances of piano plinking around in the background too, which would be our first piano to show up in this series as well, so I gave it a point for that, although I'm not 100% sure.

And yet, despite the touches of classic country instrumentation, this song doesn't quite sell me on its identity enough to call it undeniably country. The arrangement is very quirky. I think it reminds me of a SHeDAISY song, where there is plenty of country flair, and yet still has a poppy edge that would make my grandfather mutter under his breath and leave the room. I like it though! It's very catchy, and the fiddle and steel are integrated perfectly in just the right places.

Thematically, this song probably caters to a slightly younger crowd than some of the others we have heard. I mean, it even explicitly says "We're too young to love responsibly" in the first verse, lol. It features two lovers who are constantly sending each other mixed messages, falling in and out of love, causing so much drama in each other's lives yet always coming back to each other in the end. It's giving me teenage first-love vibes, kinda like something early Taylor Swift might have sung.

So, my first thought is that the quirky arrangement and the youthful theme might put off some people. And also, the production sounds a little bit cheap compared to the average radio single. But I'm fine with it all, and definitely think there is a catchy song here that has some hit potential! Although I'm not sure how much faith I have in it having too big of a chart run, considering I have no idea what kind of label support Daves Highway has. But I'll give it a solid B+!

First Rodeo has a decent melody, but the production has a room for improvement, as you pointed out the quirky arrangement. I would rather see Hate Me from Track45 over this song, if I had to pick a similar group. I am still interested in seeing what else this group can offer, as I also had never heard of them until their random appearance on the chart.
