I would amend that even further and say he hasn’t had a truly incredible single since ‘Angry All The Time’. You could make a case for several of Tim’s singles from that 1998 to 2002 period as being incredible, but he’ been seriously hit and miss for me since then. I think it started with that Dancehall Doctors CD though.

Loved the live blogging as always.

‘You Had to Be There’ is an incredible McGraw song – and he hasn’t had an incredible song since ‘Live Like … ‘ in ’04.

“Good Ole Boys Like Me” is probably my favorite too, but I can’t help but smile when I hear “If Hollywood Don’t Need You,” if only for the Burt Reynolds mentions.

He needs to get himself with a new producer. Huff has slowly stripped all the personality out of his recordings over the course of the last two albums. Maybe one of the Franks – Lidell or Rogers?

Me too, Dan. He used to be among my favorite contemporary country artists.

“Time Marches On” is one of those quirky minor classics.

I really want to like Keith Urban again. Is it new album time yet?

I don’t know how radio stations actually pick which songs they play and when, but on the non-current songs maybe the DJ’s have control and play their personal favorites. This could explain why the same few older songs get played repeatedly, at least by the same DJ anyway.

“Time Marches On” is spot on for kids who grew up in the 50′s through the 70′s. Sentimental in the right ways without being maudlin like so many country songs. Good stuff.

That’s a fantastic song, I agree. “Lord I Hope this Day is good” too.

I like Don Williams… just usually a few songs at a time. “Good Ole Boys Like Me” is one of my favorite songs by anyone.

I’m with you on the Alan Jackson song. I don’t hate it, but it’s boring. As for Don Williams, he can be boring too, though there are four or five songs that I really love by him. I do think Jackson improved upon “It Must Be Love” though. Not big on the Urban song either, though it’s the production that I specifically don’t like.
