Tyler Farr - Redneck Crazy



Here is what I thought of Tyler Farr's new album, “Redneck Crazy.” Remember – all scores are out of a possible 10 points.

Dirty” - Tyler's brand of country music is refreshing. He sings about things that other country artists would be scared to touch. This song for instance is about a girl that doesn't care about anything fancy, she just wants to be with him. It is a rather sweet song when I think about it. Score: 9

Makes You Wanna Drink” - Country rap. I am so not a fan. But the chorus is nice. Score: 4

Redneck Crazy” - I really enjoyed this song. The lyrics are top notch and Tyler's voice is fantastic. This is fresh twist on the obligatory country cheating song. Score: 10

Whiskey In My Water” - This feels like a filler song. The main verses didn't really speak to me, but the chorus was fun. Score: 5

Hot Mess” - Any heterosexual man that can sing a song about a hot mess has my seal of approval. The lyrics are what got me on this track and they are top notch. A great groove and another standout vocal performance. Score: 10

Hello Goodbye” - I love a good country ballad and this one does not disappoint. The lyrics are pretty well crafted and Tyler's voice is on the better side of good if not a bit strained and whiny. But overall a very nice breakup song. Score: 8

Ain't Even Drinkin'” - A fun song full of clever lyrics and strong country melodies. While I may not go back and listen to this one again, it is one of the stronger tracks on the album. Score: 8

Wish I Had A Boat” - Despite the silly aspect of the lyrics I actually liked this song. The beat is good and the music made me tap my toes. Score: 7

Chicks, Trucks, And Beer” - One of my least favorite songs on the album. Colt Ford's vocals just turned me off and the whole vibe of the song made me wince. Score: 3

Cowgirl” - Now this is more up my alley. A nice ballad with strong lyrics and a nice amount of twang. This song is basically a personal ad in song form. I enjoyed the flow of this song very much. Score: 10

Living With The Blues” - Emotional realness - just Tyler and a guitar. I love when singers use this technique. The lyrics are good, but the combination of Tyler's voice with the soft guitar was heavenly. Score: 7

Average Track Score: 7.4 Would I recommend this to my friends? Actually I would. Tyler is a breath of fresh air in the Country music scene and I am excited to hear more from him.

Escalader,

Jim
