There's a musical phrase at the top the reminds me of a Rosanne Cash tune..
Paul plays some great stuff here .. his harmonics at the end are UN believable! |

Great steel playing..... Note to Easton, George Strait called and he wants his voice,,phrasing and all of his studio musicians back.
This guys nothing more than a George Strait wanna be.

You're absolutely right, Bo, they knocked-off "Blue Moon with a Heartache." - The whole song is written around that one phrase. As they say, everything old is new again …..  |

| Barry, that's the tune I was thinking of and now that I listened to again, it is also the theme of a Barry White tune.. I think I have also heard it as part of a classical piece of work...many times a movement or theme in a classical piece becomes the theme of a new tune.. |

Nothing wrong with someone wanting to be another George Strait. IMHO
IT's refreshing to hear Easton's music on the radio! |

If this is traditional country, what does that make people like Mel Street, Jack Greene, Faron, Paycheck, Moe Bandy, Gary Stewart, etc...????

Up until 15 years ago. Maybe less. Sound alikes couldn't get a free lunch in Nashville. Now they get record deals. In the last few years I heard several sounds a likes. There's one that sounds a lot like Trace Adkins, Joe Diffie, Mark Chessnut and even Tim Mcgraw. Forgive the spelling. 
I don't mind any of the above mentioned singers. But I don't think we need copies. However, your mileage may vary.

I've heard two songs by Easton Corbin and like them both a lot,not to mention Paul Franklin's great playing,Yes he does sound a lot like George Straight.I could think of worse singers to sound like,Now about that free lunch...where do I sign up?

Theresa, how about more of the originals instead of more copies. I liked Easton Corben's singing, but these days, most of the new artists styles are derivative - it's just a matter of degree. I was just commenting on how much the music was "borrowed" from other songs - a practice I'm not really crazy about, especially when it's as blatant as it is with this song. |

Chesnutt & Diffie.. and lots of Joe Nichols... imo one of the best voices getting airplay out there today.. but he has a little Diffie, Jones, and others I don't see anything wrong with that..

It makes them too old style country for today's radio radio.. I still hear them on Sirius .. |

I wish Chestnut and Diffie still had record deals. The fact is they didn't sell enough when they did.
As for the others mentioned, same deal.
Oh yeah, gotta give new blood a chance. When Corbin & Joe N. and more traditional artist come along & if we like them we need to support them.
Every artist today will tell you who influenced them musicially. |

Thank you Bo. My point exactly. If they're not "old style" then why would someone refer to them as "traditional country"? Thank you for knowing and recognizing the difference. Yes, this guy is a good singer, and of course Paul always plays well, but I wouldn't call it traditional either.

Theresa,
I'm not in much of a position to argue because I don't listen to any current top 40 country.... other than when something comes along here on the forum, like this did. Help me out here and educate me, who would you consider to be a non-traditional country artist?
We can agree on one thing. Paul can hold his own in the most extreme of any of the music styles. I don't know of a more respected musician, and well deserved. Hope the New Year is treating you guys well.

Rick,
Glad we agree on one thing!
I'd say Darius Rucker & Sugarland are non-traditional.
I don't get caught up in titles, though.
I call it good or bad music. Easton falls under good music! |

I dont think that Easton is a carbon copy of Greorge. George was probably a big influence on Easton and I dont see anything wrong with that. If anything George would be flattered. If you are trying to stay "traditional" to some extent than you will sound a little like 'someone'.
But thats why most of us like the old school country so I comment Easton Corbin for keeping it country!!
People like Easton Corbin, Brad Paisley, Chris Young are keeping steel guys employed is great! |
