5 Second Single Reviews

As you probably know by now, I tend to prefer male voices. So this is a 5SSR of only singles by male artists. Two of the most succesful current stars in the genre, one on a comeback, two rising stars.

Tyler Farr- "Redneck Crazy"

This guy is pretty much a male Miranda Lambert. Crazy Ex-Boyfriend who throws beer cans at your shaddows, and shines his headlights through your window when you try to sleep. And what a vocal performance!

Grade: A

Gary Allan- "Pieces"

Not breaking new ground here, but an excellent vocal performance and solid production (aside from the "bang, bang, bang on the chorus) make this a solid single none-the-less.

Grade: B-

Justin Moore- "Point At You"

Moore brings the energy of "How I Got To Be This Way" to the sweetness of "Til My Last Day" with solid results. The outlaw image he continues to portray is kind of annoying, but whatever.

Grade: B

Brad Paisley- "Beat This Summer"

I must admit, Paisley's recent arrangements (this and "Southern Comfort Zone") are really cool. I guess you could call this a more fun version of "Til Summer Comes Around".

Grade: B+

Luke Bryan- "Buzzkill"

Not sure if it's been officially released, but we all know it's just a matter of time before it does.

Great hook, with Bryan's vocals at their finest. Definitely the albums highlight.
