Updated Top Ten list

In today’s blog I will be giving my opinion on my top ten favorite country singers.

Since the last time I wrote my top ten list, my thoughts have changed but they haven’t changed to the extent of none of them being taken off that list but just the order of them.

Eric Church- “Springsteen”

Jake Owen- “Barefoot Blue Jean Night”

Jason Aldean-”Fly Over States”

Trace Adkins- “Just Fishin’”

Rodney Atkins- “He’s Mine”

George Strait- “All My Ex’s Live in Texas”

Zac Brown Band- “Keep Me in Mine”

Jason Aldean- “Dirt Road Anthem”

Darius Rucker- “Alright”

These are my favorite artist and my favorite song by them. I like each one of these artist because they have their own style and own personality. Not one of them are the same or even similar.

While I was writing this I started listening to “Tattoos On This Town”, and realize what the song actually means. It is about a group of friends that always hangout. One couple gets married and the way he proposed was by writing “Allie Will you Marry me? on the side of a bridge. As the song goes on you realize that he is in the Marines. And it show footage from the war and then his wife gets a knock on the door only to be told her husband has died.

I guess the moral to the song is that while you're here you do things that leave an impression on the people and the town from where you are from. You never really understand what a song means until you have seen the video or if that’s the way your mind works.

When I turn 18 I’m thinking of joining the Marines. The only reason I am joining is because I want to feel like when I die I left a good impression on the world and the people that love me.

Top Ten Country Artist

Today I’m am going to tell you about my top ten favorite country music singers and my favorite song by them.

Rodney Atkins- He’s Mine

Eric Church- Springsteen

Toby Keith- Beers Ago

Trace Adkins- Just Fishin’

Alan Jackson- So You Don’t Have To Love Me Anymore

Kip Moore- Somethin’ Bout A Truck

George Strait- All My Ex’s Live in Texas

Zac Brown Band- Keep Me in Mine

Jake Owen- Barefoot Blue Jean Night

Darius Rucker- Alright

These are my favorite artist because they all have their own type of style and not one of them are the same. Many may sound similar but after you listen to them for a while you realize that they are completely different.

My favorite song is He’s Mine by Rodney Atkins because this reminds me of how me and my dad are. I’m just like him and he’s just like me. This is what his song is about how he and his son are exactly the same and if they were put side by side as teenagers you couldn’t tell the difference.

Springsteen by Eric Church is another really good song. He is talking about a girl that he loves and he hopes that when she thinks about him she thinks about when they were seventeen and running the streets and having fun in their teenage lives.

Country music is a thing that you either completely enjoy or you hate. But I bet that if you listen to one of those songs you will listen to another and then you will maybe start to enjoy it.

Keith Urban Inducted into Grand Ole Opy

Many people may think that music stars start with a big recording contract but that’s not true. My parents went to Nashville on weekend and found a bar where many of them first got recognized as a good singer. 


This isn’t a big bar it’s a little hole in the wall. There has been 5-6 artist get a recording contract that just started singing there.


The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee you have to be invited to sing there. I didn’t know this until I heard a radio broadcast about Keith Urban getting invited to sing there. He is playing there April 21, for his first time at the Opry.

To be able to sing at The Grand Ole Opry is a privilege not every singer is able to sing there. Most of the ones that sing there become LEGENDS.


Keith Urban has been singing country music since he before he came to American. He has been here for twenty-one years. To many this is a dream that only a few get experience.


As of April 21st 2012 Keith Urban is the newest member of The Grand Ole Opry. When singers become members they are awarded with a 14 inch replica of the microphone and then they get a cake that looks like a Fender guitar.

I found an article where Keith Urban talks about how its a honor to become a member of The Grand Ole Opry. “Thank you very much! Yee haw! That is awesome!” Urban began. Is how Keith Urban began his statement after he received his membership trophy (pictured above).
