He had one decent song on that album:

I mean, maybe there were more but that is the one I remember and I'm not listening to the thing again.

Yes, until it was discovered by those buying it and then spreading the word that it was not a country album. With out looking it up I would hazard to guess that the vast majority of those two million copies were sold in the first couple of weeks of its release.

I mean, I feel like if the movie plans didn't fall through the damage would have been much less because, even it flopped it would be seen as a crossover from music into acting. Sure, some would still get all up in arms about the type of artist and music used for the story but overall, I think the majority of his fans would have accepted it for what it was - a movie "soundtrack".

They took a unique and risky marketing strategy for the film by recording and releasing an album of "greatest hits" from an imaginary artist like he was real before the movie ever even went into production and without fans really having much of a clue as to WTF was going on. Clearly, they bungled the entire thing by getting it started way too early which led to confusion and anger amongst the loyal listeners. The movie never getting made just made it 10x worse.

I feel like there may have been another and it was this -

Sounded familiar when I hit play anyway. Only reason I was looking was because when I think of Chris Gaines I think of an SNL skit with "him" and Chris Kattan's Mango character. I am not finding that on YT though. I did find this one however -

No Chris ledoux? Cadillac ranch, for your love, stampede, tougher then the rest?

Confederate Railroad, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Randy Travis made some good shit, the list goes on and on.

And quite possibly the greatest song ever made, by the legend himself:

I would agree....have always loved this song.

But one sneaky favorite that I love that George put out is this one.

The one band in that era that was pretty good too was Restless Heart.

Shame on you all:D This was country and will always be.

I know he wasn't exclusively 90's, but I'm fond of John Anderson's work. Check this out; here is something he released a few years ago:

And a cover of it by Sierra Ferrell:

Ledoux is a good call nut.

Yoakam is good. He's got some straight bangers. I can't binge him though. Nonetheless good call.

Nice. Anderson is good. Seminole Wind was legit stuck in my head for like a year.

Shame on me for what? Dwight Yoakum was alright but not really my cup of tea. I like a couple of his songs but like Buehler binging on him is not possible.

Now...give me an afternoon of Don Williams or The Statler Brothers any day.

In fact Jimmy Fortune from the Statlers now has a group called Brothers of the Heart...they do a cross section of country, gospel and country rock that is great to listen to. Their version of Seven Bridges Road and Love Will Keep You Alive by The Eagles both are top notch. They have a CD called Brotherly Love that I got a few months back that I have worn out pretty much.

Binging leads to burnout. I recommend variety over listening to the same artist over and over.

I love Don Williams and John Anderson but not over and over on a binge.
