3 Up, 3 Down

(Credit to 'Farce the Music' for this idea).

3 Up

Love and Theft- "If You Ever Get Lonely"

Easily their most mature single to date. Outstanding vocal harmonies. They have easily 2 of the most underrated voices in the genre. Killer country-pop.

Grade: A-

---

Keith Urban- "Little Bit Of Everything"

Ear candy? Yes. But man it's tasty. Keith Urban doing what he does best.

Grade: B

---

Dean Brody- "Dirt"

Cleverly written, well produced and fantastically sung. Love the idea of building a song around dirt. Genius. Brody remains Canadas best kept secret.

Grade: A

3 Down

Chris Young- "Aw Naw"

Youngs voice does not work for party songs. Ballads, mid-tempos, love songs, sure. But please leave the partying to Dierks, Blake, Luke and FGL next time. Thankyou. (At least it's well sung).

Grade: C-

Joel Crouse- "If You Want Some"

Sub-par lyrics and an average melody don't help, but the vocals+performance kill it. It doesn't even sound like he cares, so why should I care? Not to mention the nassaly vocals, which has worked numerous times, but Crouse doesn't have the belivability of Jon Pardi or Tyler Hubbard, nor the distinction of Eric Church or Jennifer Nettles.

Grade: D+

 Craig Morgan- "More Trucks Than Cars"

Backside of the city limit, water tower, power line, swimming holes, county fairs, ford truck, kickin' up dust, biscuits, gravy, waitress calls you baby (there's a new one!), hell ya, amen, yee'haw, city limit sign. Lol. He's desperate.

Grade: F
