Agree. I'm on a fine line when it comes to country. I do cringe with the twang and especially the stupid subject of a song... red cup, trucks) But his guitar chops nailed it for me. He's just not singing and strummin', the guy is just a pleasure to watch and listen too. Especially this live performance. (So much, I'm going to talk to the guys about what makes a great performance for viewers. I think it's a ton of things like good material, talent, presence, professionalism, sound, lighting, etc. )

I may hate his studio stuff... I dunno. I don't even know what his hits are. I'm crossing my fingers.
