The whispery beginning of that Chris Owens song ("I gotcher number in my phone etc.") was bad, but the chorus has a pretty good hook. I didn't hate it.

this is real bad, but at least kind of amusingly so. definitely not what anybody had ever hoped for on Assemble the new Traveling Wilburys .
i love how mark mcgrath's delivery on the first verse, with the telephone filter, makes it sound like he's trying to channel art alexakis. he is 47 years old and singing this shit btw. kracker for his part has gotten pretty countrified, maybe a better look than his borderline old man hat steez on "follow me." griffin sounds basically the same as ever, and surprisingly... competent? like he probably could have just put this out under some anonymous name and posed as a new shit band you'll hear about for a minute, like Neon Trees or 3OH!3 or Hot Chelle Rae. apparently at some point he developed a whole career as a songwriter for acts like james blunt, daniel powter, barenaked ladies, and like half the career of someone named "howie day."

is the cover art a deliberate *fuck you* to those of us who bought tickets for the Mark McGrath cruise?

Chris Owens' voice on that song is excruciating.

huh was vaguely curious about that Chris Owens record where he reportedly pulls some country/Buck Owens moves but oof that is some bad songwriting up there

Trying to pick out the lyrics of "B.Y.H.B." through all of that autotune is as foolish as reading a book in the back of the van on the windy mountain roads between NC & Tennessee. I thought this style of production had finally fallen out of fashion; but, just like I've been trying to do my entire life, I forgot about country.

This is a quick, mid-year reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a handful of album selections from each listed) are being posted as updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist. I just did a top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.
I double dare you to spend two hours with this.

Judging by the frequency with which I hear it out in the wild, it is looking like Andy Grammar's "Honey I'm Good" is a hit, thus completing its status as this year's "Rude."

"rude" is a fucking incredibly rich song compared to "honey i'm good"
