Top 10 Tracks I'm Digging Right Now
I was at a Carrie Underwood concert last night (Aug. 30) and got into a deep conversation with the guy sitting behind me all about which artists are truly country. His point was that today's country is really pop. I completely disagree, because really, when was the last time Britney Spears had a steel guitar on her tour? Or the Fray was rocking a banjo? So as long as the right instruments are in place, as they are here, country is country enough for me.
"The More Boys I Meet," Carrie Underwood
"All I Want," Darius Rucker
"Our Song," Taylor Swift
"Here Comes Goodbye," Rascal Flatts
"Back Where I Come From," Kenny Chesney
"Already Gone," Sugarland
"You to Miss," Love and Theft
"I Told You So," Keith Urban
"Kristofferson," Tim McGraw
"Home Is Where the Heart Is," Lady Antebellum

S says:
Hold on tight Alison. Any minute now you’re going to get a lecture from Redmaz on the definition of Pop music.
SQUEEK says:
aLL POP COUNTRY ARE GOOD. jUST AS K,ONG THE ARTIST CAN SING.
Hannah says:
Woop Woop :)
Kate says:
This concert sold out in one day and sold approx. 20thousand tickets. A second show was added(Aug.31) which also sold out and sold the same number of tickets. Way to go Carrie!
Redmaz says:
To “S”, Alison already knows what Pop Music is. Apparently she refuses to accept it or she refuses to educate anyone around her on this subject, therefore continuing to disrespect Country Music. Anyone who educates themselves, and respects music, musicians, singer, songwriters, etc. already know that Pop music is not an individual genre music, and that it’s an industry consisting of many genres of music including Rock, Hip Hip, R&B, Adult Contemporary, and Country. Why?…you even know that don’t you “S”?
Sis says:
I love all Carrie’s songs, and I agree Alison W love Lady Antebellum great songs.
Sammi says:
I love all of those songs too Alison haha.
star says:

Amy says:
Love Carrie! I was at that same concert in Chicago and Carrie was AWESOME! No one can sing live like Carrie!!! Can’t hardly wait for her new single, new album and her new tour!!!!

Having banjo and a steel guitar doesn’t mean a band is country. In fact a banjo is more a bluegrass instrument.
Robin says:
Alison - you are really starting to scare me now. I will ignore all the Carrie haters above just because it appears that you have sprung from the Carrie Underwood darkness and into the light. I’ll be watching your blogs to see if this was an honest conversion or distraction ploy to launch the surprise attack. But, for now, I have one eye on you and lips with a half smile.
As for the Taylor hating going on, come on, can we give it a rest for 1 blog. Give Alison a break here.
Joe M. says:
Interesting logic. I guess that means if Jay-Z puts a steel guitar in his next album then he’s a country artist.
barb b says:
to release that album is
wrong how much money does she
want to make off these kids one word
greed and to realese it one week before
cu cd is pathetic
goldie says:
way to go taylor, cu did it last year but no one said anything about that!!! taylor has every right to do this if she wants just like cu did! taylor rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Redmaz says:
Still waiting for a reply from “S”, the resident music expert(sfip). That’s a good one “Joe M”! So if Underwood’s handlers drop out the already buried steel guitar track…that suddenly makes it Pop? Too funny. Alison, if you didn’t disrespect Country music so much, you’d be funny.
Teresa says:
I say we ask Andy Rooney. He knows everyhing…
barb b says:
woop woop straight to
no.1
barb b says:

Shannon says:
I am a carrie and taylor fan but i think most of these “fans” could quite possibly be borderline stalkers
