CMAs tomorrow . Lettuce pray the Female Vocalist category doesn't keep repeating itself this year.

Wow ... Beyoncé's performance just sparkled my interest in Country music !

I liked that moment when they just all went off with their instruments: the saxes and then the transition to Long Time Gone; that explosion was just so organic and amazing . I keep replaying that part over and over again.

I don't know if they are any recent Country albums with that same type of rich and powerful instrumentals and energy out there. I'm not really into the generic and mainstream "guitar" Country songs that just all sound the same tho.

Country music is garbage to women.
Carrie leading both decades tho

[Achilles.]

Jennifer Nettles needs to release her Lori McKenna co-write "Salvation Works" as her next single.

It's even better than "Humble & Kind."



Why is Lori singlehandedly delivering ALL of the quality in mainstream country music? Her power.
