Jordan also gets a surprise voicemail from his wife, wishing him a happy 40th birthday. Thanks, as always! Without y’all, we wouldn’t be getting to do this!

This week, we got together to discuss a true redneck talent from razorback country, Justin Moore. Although we started a little political, it quickly turned into a career highlight reel for Mr. Moore. Going song by song, we took a journey through his career and life. Because of Justin an idea was born, the RCMAs!

We got together to go over our CMT award predictions. Ryan’s head has now gotten so big, most doorways prove too narrow for his entry. We successfully predicted every category with one exception. Jellyroll, Morgan Wallen, and Kane Brown are a few of the artists that we analyzed their success(or lack of). We are getting better and better at guessing these outcomes, just a matter of time before we start our own annual awards show! We’re you shocked by any of the winners? If so, which one?

Ryan and Jordan meet in studio this week to shine a light on songwriting legend, John Prine. When you think of iconic storytellers, a few names come to mind: Dylan, Dolly, Cash… Prine, in our opinion, belongs in that conversation! Born in Illinois, Kentucky has claimed him as one of our own. One of the most impressive aspects of Prine’s career was his influence! So many artists today mention John Prine as a hero, mentor, or goal. The once mailman, wrote and sang his way into every hall of fame that had an open door. We hope y’all enjoy our tribute to this legend! Thank you all for your support!

With a lot going on in Country music, we decided to get together to cover some of it and experience a “first.” We went tictok live for the first time ever in CMC history! Fresh off a memorable night at the Grammys, we hit it first. Discussing a few awards, performances, and who can not talk about those outfits. We then discussed Chris Stapleton’s new assigned of singing the National Anthem at the big game this year. To wrap it up, we played the new 3 songs released by Morgan Wallen this week.

We met up this week to discuss the Elle King concert in Glasgow, KY that Jordan and his wife attended. This was the second show they seen Elle perform. The Glasgow show came just one day after her new album release. With a packed house, she never missed a note! She mostly sang new songs while throwing in a few of her classic hits. We go over a few aspects of the show and then discuss the after party at a local bar. Jordan brushed off his old dancing shoes and hit the dance floor for the first time in 10 years.

Chris is a storytelling mastermind that has a way crafting each detail to make you feel as though you are watching a motion picture.

WARNING: Due to recent personal events, the first 25 minutes of the show is filled with personal strife, self-loathing, and other therapeutic topics. If you want to get to the part about Colter Wall, skip forward to the 25 minute mark. Thanks for understanding! After a long hiatus, Ryan and Jordan get back together to cover a young supernova in country music, Colter Wall. His low vocal tones are enough to capture every ear in the industry. We, first, discuss Morgan Wallen’s new song. Then, Jordan dives in to all of the recent troubles that have been weighing on his heart and mind. After 25 minutes of randomness, we go into details about Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada’s golden son, Colter Wall. Four albums in, his place in country music has been solidified.

Through all of the obstacles that George and Tammy went through since the day they met, they found a way to maneuver their way out of trouble consistently. We take a stroll through the last episode going over the major scenes. Even with the pilot episode, this was the best, as it really highlighted how much they needed and did for each other.

This episode we take a walk through Tammy’s career apex and George’s attempt to climb back into country music’s good graces. With success, comes opportunistic leaches, like George Richey. Though they stayed married throughout the rest of their lives, they began their relationship due to a few convenience factors. Richey took advantage of Tammy’s vulnerability and weaseled his way into her bed, later took her as his wife. We discuss the episode scene by scene and take a few trips down rabbit holes as they come up. What did you think of the episode? Did you know Tammy was dealing with the addiction? We learn the sad truth that addiction affects everyone involved and those connected with the ones involved, even when the people involved are as famous as they come.

This episode we get to witness the birth of their child, Tammy’s introduction to pain killers, George’s alcohol relapse, as well as, their huge show in Las Vegas.

This week, by request, we finally get back in the studio to put a spotlight on the best voice in the country music industry; Chris Stapleton. Chris’ voice has all the sound and soul of a blues crooner with all of the texture of a country dynamo. Personally, I would put him up against any other voice to battle it out. We discuss the recent problems with concert tickets prices and other recent topics. We go through Chris’ career, as well as, his early life, and his personal life. He has definitely earned every ounce of success he has! Since 2001, he has dedicated his life to this musical journey. After his bluegrass band, his southern rock band, and after meeting his beautiful wife, Morgane, his career finally started to reach the pinnacles that are all too obvious now. His performances are always crowd pleasing, but(Jordan’s opinion) if you truly want to hear that special sound that can never be duplicated by a mortal man, a duet with his wife Morgane… that is worth the price of admission. As the Valedictorian of his graduating class, it seems he was always destined for great things. He is only getting started if you ask me! Thanks, as always for supporting us! Please remember to like, share, rate, review, follow, etc. join us on our Facebook group page! That’s actually the place where Stapleton was requested, by friend of the show, James Blevins.

After the second installment of “George and Tammy”, the guys get together to share their initial reactions. We learned ALOT about Tammy this week, deservedly so. The prettier half of this power couple sure did overcome a ton of adversity on her way to the top. Tammy dealt with the glass ceiling that still keeps women from the top today, but finessed the situation as well as one possibly could. The guys discuss the hurdles that female artists have to go through, as well as, the state of present day country music. “Stand By Your Man” was realized, rearranged, and released all within the time period of this episode. The show did a fantastic job tying in all of the true aspects of this dynamic duo and in doing that, they birthed the song, “Stand By Your Man.” Thank you all for listening/ watching.

Buckle up folks! “George and Tammy” kicked off their six part series with a bang! Ryan and Jordan, from the Country Music Critic, have decided to do reaction videos to each episode of the limited series. Episode 1 came in with a long rumored story and went out the same way. George Jones was one of the most prolific stars in country music history. When you have stardom to his magnitude you get a long list of folklore that trickles down through history.  The couple that was seemingly “whispered” about the most, finally gets their story told and the record gets straightened. We break it down, scene by scene, and give our honest reactions and thought. We also go through the main castings, with a few of their past works so you can familiarize yourself with them.

This week Ryan and Jordan sit down to discuss a different type of artist than normal. Bluegrass is packed with top of the line musicians, none better than this week’s spotlighted artist(in Jordan’s opinion) Billy Apostal, AKA Billy Strings. Billy left his Michigan roots and has exploded onto the country, folk, and bluegrass scene. Taught by his step-dad, he took to stringed instruments like a fish to water. To watch him play is like watching poetry in motion. We go through his young career up to present day. As always, we go off the rails about many things, including but not limited to Thanksgiving. Barely over 30 years old, Strings has a lifetime ahead of him in the industry. He is only going to gain momentum as he broadens his fanbase. Thanks for listening and supporting us!

One of the most underrated artists in country music history, Tracy Lawrence, is this week’s spotlighted artist. Before diving into all things Tracy Lawrence, we daydream about winning the Powerball. After starting a dream of his own in 1990, Lawrence solidified his place in country music lore one album/song at a time. As time marches on, we are constantly reminded of the influence and direct impact his chart toppers made on the genre’s history. His trademark hair and mustache drove the women crazy in his hay day and his unique voice delighted country music fans for years on the airwaves. Lawrence battled turmoil and strife his entire career but somehow is still today performing and drawing crowds. This legend will live on forever in his art and should find his way into the hallowed Country Music Hall of Fame one of these days(in our opinion).

Maybe once a generation a true legend is born. We(Ryan and Jordan) sit down to spotlight one of those legends. Alan Jackson has made a gigantic impact on music, fans, Nashville, and (with one song) an entire country. Although his recent tour has been affected by health concerns, Jackson continues to solidify his status in country music royalty. We follow the musical timeline and point out all of the main highlights from his journey. As always, we go off the rails and go on a conversational journey of our own.

After a short hiatus, Ryan and Jordan hit the studio again to discuss another East Texas musical force. Koe Wetzel may not be country but he is impressive. He is more up Jordan’s alley with his combination of grunge, southern rock, and country stylings. More than 4 albums in, Wetzel has amassed quite the following.

In a span of 3 albums, he has managed to amass a gigantic following that seem to salivate in anticipation for his work. And… if his new songs are anything like his massive hit, “Something In the Orange,” I’m waiting with baited breath!

This week Ryan and Jordan discuss the legend, Hank Williams Sr. Although his life was cut short at the age of 29, he influenced country music in a way that other legends can’t come close to. His list of written songs is extremely long for his short life span. Hank overcame so many obstacles to solidify his legend status.

This week Ryan and Jordan unpack the life and career of a Legend. From deep in the Eastern Kentucky mountains, Whitley exploded onto the scene packing his one of a kind gorgeous voice. Keith was one of the only dudes with a perm that could make it to legend status. 34 years wasn’t enough, but that’s all we got. Alcoholism took his life WAY too early! Still to this day, we hear the music that he graced our ears with. This haunted man showed you just how sad and devoted he was in every verse he wrote and sang. With wife, Lorrie Morgan, he found a love that he feared losing. Keith Whitley is the artist that other artists look up to. There will never be another quite like him. Taken far too soon but just late enough for him to solidify his place at the top of the industry. Thanks folks! Please remember to like, rate, review, share, follow, and tell your friends and family.

This week we travel to Baskin, Louisiana to find the next “it” female country star, Lainey Wilson. Although each didn’t discus the obstacles that women in country music have to face, Lainey has not only overcame them, she has placed herself in the driver’s seat of one of the hottest rides in the industry!

Josh Kiser Cleveland, Tennessee is bursting with pride since hometown boy Josh Kiser has become the newest rising artist/writer in Nashville’s country music scene. Kiser found his sweet spot by blending traditional 90’s sounds with a touch of rock&soul to his production to create a sound that resonates well with longtime country fans, as well as newer listeners who most call “Kiser Kountry”. He moved to Nashville in 2019 to pursue his music career. Before moving to the city, he signed a production deal with “Starts With Music”, a company owned by Nathan Chapman and Kevin Kadish. After moving to Nashville, he quickly signed a publishing deal with Liz Rose Music and Warner Chappell Music Publishing. Kiser draws his influences from artists like: Travis Tritt, The Eagles, George Straight, Ray Charles and Hank Jr. The realness in his songs and sound are evident by the pain in his voice and the truth of his lyrics. Kiser is hammering out his own creative niche that fans will readily identify with the East Tennessee native himself Josh Kiser. He just released his first single, “Big on the Little Things” followed by “Whiskey Wins” which are both available to stream on all platforms. He has opened for notable acts such as Midland, Drake White, Tracy Byrd, Craig Campbell and more! _Liz Rose Music.  We are so excited for JOSH KISER FOLKS!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/countrymusiccritic/support
