Dear Darius Rucker: We sure miss your pure voice … more CMA musings
By the DivaWe hope country can embrace Darius Rucker, who sort of gives country a soulful, Dave Matthews vibe. His voice is totally unique. And we don’t care what the purists said, the music of Hootie still resonates. It’s beautiful and fun and it makes us so happy when we hear it.
He deserved the warm reception.
In other news: Taylor Swift. Now SHE looks like a teenager. Fresh. Age-appropriate and truly talented.
For our money, Reba McEntire still has top vocal chops. She puts a real emotional voice on any song, ya know. Her vocal signature is golden, even after all these years. Lots to learn from her.
Brad Paisley……again, he’s a sexual zero. Jake Owen, seriously cute, but who manages this dude cause his potential seems way untapped? Did not think the George Strait record was better than the Chesney disk, but Strait is so iconic and a defender of the old school that he gets a lot of props. We can dig it.
