Tyler Childers killed it last night. If you don’t like his music, with all due respect, your opinion is garbage and you should reevaluate your entire life.
Any of the new “country” boy singers lol Kane Brown or a multitude of others that I can’t quite name because I don’t pay attention to garbage. https://t.co/voYfYfob4Y
I was just at a local John Deere dealership, rapping with some local farmers, we had a beer, it was recorded. You just may see me on the modern country music charts soon.
Florida Georgia Line and Jason Aldean opening the show? This is why country music has turned trash. THIS ISN’T EVEN COUNTRY. This is a bunch of cats fighting in a bag full of nails. #ACMs
dalton, damn, man. trap is not the right word to go about getting someone to fall in love with you and marry your dumbass. maybe just try to develop a somewhat likable personality. https://t.co/srHDxpWbxE
The black hole announced by scientists today is located 55 million light years from Earth, has a mass 6.3 billions that of our sun, and sucks 1/20th as much as Florida Georgia Line.
I wouldn’t give a shit if the country chart was 15 black people, 15 white women, 3 Samoans, 6 Pakistanis, and 1 white dude, as long as they’re twanging, playing real instruments, and singing about heartbreak, drinking, work, and love.
I loved Johnny Cash for years until I heard his song - Send the N back to Africa- after that I never played another Cash song again! It hurts when you find out racist things about your American Idol from yrs ago.
We get it "old country was better music, I should try listening." I get it, your wife left you for your tractor. Your new girlfriend... IS a tractor. I'm just not interested in country music people I'm sorry
I fuckin hate country music... I really do... I consider it the soundtrack of bigotry in the United States... I feel physically ill when I hear it... Cause you’ll never hear a song that goes, “I got my black friend in my truck and we’re bout to go fishing, yeah, we’re equals”...
Whoever it is that hates you is just jealous. Dont let the haters get you down you go on living the best life you can haters are how you know your making it
@KaceyMusgraves Shame on you, you are a loser and not even real country music. Bet your sales drop off big time unless Democrats buy them. @reba is real country music.
I remember the first time I heard Caroline Spence. She was opening for John Moreland at Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA. I was expecting to be blown away by Moreland, but was yet again extremely happy I got there for the opener. Caroline Spence opened and completely blew me away. I left feeling gut-punched, not only by Moreland, but by Spence. She sang incredible songs with a wonderful, strong voice.
On Spence's latest album, Mint Condition, she continues her strong streak of albums. There are songs for every mood and occasion, but one thing remains constant; Spence's perfect songwriting ability. The production on the album is also great. It allows Spence's voice and lyrics to be the star of the show. There isn't much flair in terms of added instruments or needless solos. Sure, they're there, but they add flavor rather than a distraction.
As for the songs themselves, I think these are some of Spence's greatest. She deals with trying to get out of town to turn your life around ("Angels or Los Angeles"). Or, she sings about the insecurity that comes with relationships and growing up ("Who Are You" and "Song About A City"). My favorite song on the album, "Sit Here and Love Me,” is at once crushing and beautiful. This perfect song about dealing with depression and the need to just have a loving ear and it caught my attention immediately; I continue to go back to it more and more. Sometimes the solution to any problem is to just love and be loved. It's beautiful and I hope if nothing else, you listen to this song intently.
Spence can also write a damn good, clever line with the best of em. On the great "Who's Gonna Make My Mistakes" Spence muses, "Talking to this man is like looking at an ashtray, something was there but there ain't much left..." Lines like that are strewn throughout the album here and there. You gotta pay attention and with Spence's voice, that isn't hard to do. She demands attention. She deserves your attention. Come for the voice, stay for the songwriting.
The album finishes with the title track, "Mint Condition." This song is a great representation of all that is Caroline Spence. At once beautiful, clever, and graceful, the song is a perfect way to end the album. Spence can write the hell out of a love song.
I think Spence is one of the songwriters we don't hear nearly enough about. She consistently puts out great albums and this album is no different. Go buy it. You won't be disappointed. Go see her when she comes near your town. She's worth every damn cent. I know I can't wait til she comes to D.C. so I can hear these brand new songs live.
