My dangerous new addiction

So it's been a while (cough 3 months cough) since I last blogged. I must say I miss it but since all I was doing before was rehashing afternoon show segments, I'm not sure I was really doing anything blog-worthy. That said, tonight, I will break my blog silence and write about a dangerous...okay not dangerous at all...addiction: Country Music, especially classic country music of the 90s.

Now I'm not saying that country's bad or anything. In fact, I have the utmost respect for country artists. They for the most part actually sing in their songs, something certain pop stars could maybe try once in a while. The problem with my country addiction is that I do an afternoon shift on a CHR/Hot AC hybrid station. Country is like the plague to most of our listeners. A few would probably outright shun me. ;-)

That said, I hope that those who do read this will at least embrace a country addiction part time like I have. Yes certain artists are a bit too over the top at times, but since when has Lady Gaga been normal? I won't be embracing country full time anytime soon, but a little hear and there is a good way to waste away some time on a night where TV sucks and that's about 6 out of 7 nights a week. So today, I'll tip my hat to some of my personal country favorites: what are some of yours? Leave a comment or tweet/fb me your favorites.

These are in no particular order but just some that I really enjoy:
Kenny Chesney- Don't Blink


Tracy Lawrence- You Find Out Who Your Friends Are


George Strait- Check Yes or No


Toby Keith- Should've Been a Cowboy
