FTM's Top Songs of 2015: 21-40
I'll post my Top 20 songs of 2015 tomorrow, but here are 20 more songs that moved me in 2015. The depth of talent (mostly, but not entirely outside the mainstream) is staggering in recent years, so it's always difficult to narrow songs and albums down to a ranking at the end of the year, but I felt like these all needed some recognition.
In no particular order, though my favorites are generally towards the top of the list.
Jason Isbell - 24 Frames
American Aquarium - End Over End
Courtney Patton - So This Is Life
The Lone Bellow - Diners
Faith No More - Matador
Clutch - X-Ray Visions
Sam Outlaw - Ghost Town
Houndmouth - Sedona
Kacey Musgraves - Late to the Party
Lucero - Went Looking for Warren Zevon's Los Angeles
Alan Jackson - The One You're Waiting On
Kurt Vile - Pretty Pimpin'
Red Shahan - Black Veins Pt. 1
Adele - Hello
High on Fire - The Cave
The Yawpers - 3 A.M.
Gretchen Peters - The Cure for the Pain
Vince Staples - Norf Norf
Eric Church - Knives of New Orleans
Dawes - All Your Favorite Bands

Carl Outlaw, Real Country Fan, Reviews Alan Jackson's "Jim and Jack and Hank"
Alan Jackson, are you kidding me? This tall jackass, along with Bored Strait, and Girth Brooks are what destroyed country music! Trailer, if you don't get me some Hank 3 to review soon, I'm gone kick you're ass! Remember when Alan Jackson did that song about 9/11. Stupid. He didn't even have the stones to say that Building 7 was clearly a controlled demolition! I can never respect him for that!
"Jim and Jack and Hank" is the name of this song and those are all things I love, so maybe I'll at least listen to a verse this time. Wait, what the ffff? Is this "Achy Breaky Heart" lmao? Why would you wanna have a song that sounds like the dude who created Miley? This is terrible. "I became a little sad and called up my old dad" this shit is terrible. That's why I only listen to REAL country.
Florida-Georgia Line might suck but at least they don't pretend to be some kind of traditional country singer like this puke. I would spray a full can of mace in Alan's face. His music ain't that much different then Luke Bryan. It's all soft lady stuff for 40 year old suburban dads to pretend they are really country fans.
Country + Rap = Crap. That doesn't really have anything to do with this song, but at least once a day, I feel the need to type that somewhere, usually on a Facebook post about how much Sam Hunt sucks.
If anybody out their tries to tell you Alan Jackson is good country music and that his new song is better than what's on the radio at least, just tell them "stepping on a dry turd is better than stepping on a wet one, but that don't make it good." This is crap. Him and George Strait and Garth need to apologize to the ghost of Hank Williams. And than, he'd bitch slap them anyway!

Remember When: A Depressing Parody Lyric
"Remember When"
(A depressing parody of Alan Jackson's "Remember When")
Remember when songs were sung with words so true
and steel guitars and fiddles were still cool
You could hurt with Patsy Cline
Thumb a ride with Charley Pride
Remember when
Remember when they called the cows
or honky tonked
Broke our hearts, closed the bars, living hard
Waylon and Merle, trains and spurs
Texas boys, Kentucky girls
Remember when
Remember when old ones died and new came on
The sound was changed, modernized, rearranged
But even though some shined like stars
They still had country heart
Remember when
Remember when the lure of fame and greed
made the music
Chase the trend of the week
Big pickup trucks, bass and lust
Stole the soul and broke our trust
Remember when
Remember when George Strait was always on
And there was still twang in country songs
But where we are,
From where we've been
Too far to go back again
Remember when
Remember when we knew it'd be okay
And the cycle would turn back someday
But that's all past, pour a glass
Put on some Johnny Cash
And just remember when

ACM 50: Snarky Twitter Wrap-Up
The old folks showed the young folks how to sing, everybody won an award, Dan + Shay performed with a Jonas brother in one of the most egregious slights against country music ever... so what else happened on last night's ACM Awards? Here's a recap with some (probably out of order) funny Twitter commentary from during the event. Thanks for your help!

FTM Praise: The Kiss of Commercial Death
With Jon Pardi's "What I Can't Put Down" struggling to find footing on the charts, I came to this realization. You can pretty much guarantee that if Farce the Music really likes a mainstream country single, the song will not have a whiff of the top 10 on the country charts. Don't believe me? Here are some commercial country singles we enjoyed, and their peaks on the US Country Chart.
Chris Young "Neon" - 23 (2012)
Sunny Sweeney "Staying's Worse Than Leaving" - 38 (2011)
Chris Stapleton "What Are You Listening To" - 46 (2013)
Charlie Worsham "Want Me Too" - 46 (2014)
Lee Ann Womack "Solitary Thinkin'" - 39 (2009)
Alan Jackson "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore" - 25 (2012)
Kacey Musgraves "Blowin' Smoke" - 31 (2013)
Gary Allan "It Ain't the Whiskey" - 40 (2013)
Julie Roberts "Wake Up Older" - 46 (2005)
Brandy Clark "Stripes" - (did not chart) (2013)
Dierks Bentley "Draw Me a Map" - 33 (2010)
Little Big Town "Your Side of the Bed" - 29 (2013)
David Nail "Sound of a Million Dreams" - 38 (2012)
Ronnie Dunn "Cost of Livin'" - 19 (2011)
Jamey Johnson (All singles 2009-2012) - 34, 52, 39, 51, DNC
Emily West "Blue Sky" - 38 (2010)
George Strait "Drinkin' Man" - 37 (2012)
Kellie Pickler "Someone Somewhere Tonight" - (did not chart) (2013)
