Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban

Run into some old friends from another group or board? Want to do a little schmoozing, talk over old times? Or just some off topic stuff, then this is the place.

Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban

Post by Krulik »

Just got back from a Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood concert in Omaha and I gotta say it was the best concert since sliced bread. Honestly

Anyway, I am going to see Keith and Kenny in soldier field Chicago and I was wondering if anybody else might be going, or atleast into country music?



Did u just call me gay?

I LOVE country music, and for that reason would never go see Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Kerry Underwood or any other of these pop stars poluting a once great genre.

Just my opinion.

I'm against that music, not against you.

I'll agree with TrenchGoon on this one. I like some country...as in Johnny Cash, Hank, some good ol' bluegrass, even modern artists like Neko Case. But can't go there.

I saw Kenny Chesney and Sugarland last year in Fargo and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen! Loved it!

I am not a big Urban fan but love Carrie and think that would probobly be a good concert.

Didn't anyone ever tell you change is a good thing? But honestly, if you're going to bag 3 of the top country artists out there today, can you atleast name some current ones that aren't "polluting the once great genre".

I agree that Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Big N Rich, etc have a different sound then the classic country but its all the 5 chord country that we love.

In that said, I don't see how you can call Kenny Chesney poppy. He IS the country scene right now.

Also, Brad Paisley is brilliant with the guitar, Tim McGraw is just unbelievable in concert, and Dierks Bentley and Jack Ingram know how to rock the house.

(i'm just looking for a healthy argument)

Keith is constantly voted as the top live performer, and trust me, if you saw him live... You would absolutely become obsessed with it.

I'm more than willing to engage in some friendly debate. :) As for current country performers keeping the genre alive...err. Merle Haggard is still alive right? No seriously though, there is nobody who gets airplay that isn't pop that I am aware of. (To be fair, I simply don't listen to modern country music, but every time I hear some in a store or skipping around the radio, it is painfully bad to me, and has little in common with the feel, soul and spirit of country music) But one example for you, Hank Williams III had some good stuff until his last drug enduced satanic album came out.

Also want to point out, It isn't just country music suffereing from this disease. For example, As far as I am concerned R&B has become "pop with black people" just as much as country has become "pop with cowboy hat". Its been reduced to an image, but the actual music is just pop, super accessible, super slick, super produced rubbish. It lacks the authenticity which is at the core and the guts of county and soul music.

As for Kenny Chesney, i couldn't name a song he's done, but from the bits and pieces I have heard and seen, its just pop music to me. If however, you wish to point me in the direction of a particular artist/song, I will give it a listen.

Well don't let me hold you back, lets have em. It's hard to pick out just a few Kenny songs, but I picked what I thought cemented his country name. Not necessarily my favorite songs. Favorites?

Summertime
I Go Back
Don't Happen Twice
Never Gonna Feel Like That Again
Beer In Mexico
Keg In The Closet

Again, I could go on forever
