Assignment 23 - Matthew Klee - Country?

Okay, so I know a lot of y'all aren't country music fans, so, if you're not, just don't read my blog post, it's that simple. I was very surprised to see Mr. Logsdon listening to Gaslighter by the Dixie Chicks, now, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Dixie Chicks since the lead singer went crazy and cut her hair but I do appreciate your attempt at country music. The playlist I've created here is just a feel-good playlist I listen to on car rides to tennis (because I need some music to amp up my mood before a stressful match or grueling practice).

#1 - Hard to Forget (Sam Hunt): Okay, first of all, I don't think it's possible to go wrong with anything by Sam Hunt, he's most definitely my all-time favorite country artist. If you're not a Hunt fan like me just bear with me, get through the first 20 weird seconds of the song and it gets immensely better. Now, the song isn't necessarily super upbeat or anything but it's just relaxing and you can really enjoy listening to it during a car ride.

#2 - House Party (Sam Hunt): If you didn't like my first Sam Hunt song choice here's the opposite end of the spectrum. This is upbeat, impossible not to sing along to, such a good song, even though it is definitely aged. This is probably just my overall favorite country song.

#3 - Down to the Honkytonk (Jake Owen): Alright, here's a real country sounding song. This song is just a feel-good laid back type of music. It's relatable, has a steady constant beat, honestly, it's even funny at certain points. There's no big show of vocal mastery but that's what makes this song perfect for a relaxing car ride or destresser.

#4 - One Man Band (Old Dominion): Honestly I have no clue how I ever found this song, I've been listening to it at least since sophomore year and haven't gotten tired of it yet. Now, be warned, this isn't as upbeat or exciting as the others, but it's just so relaxed and if you actually listen to the lyrics it's amazing and tells a story like all good country songs should.

#5 - Boys 'Round Here (Blake Shelton): This song is about as redneck as you get, honestly I think it's kind of hilarious, but the beat is great and so are the lyrics. This is sort of a pick-me-up song that's fun to turn all the way up as you're cruising down the back roads around where I live.
