[@MVTX]

The Band Perry saga has always been so fascinating to me. As you said, they were one of the biggest acts in country music around 2013. They had 4 number one country singles, with 2 of those being on their last country album "Pioneer". They could have made an awesome third country record but went the complete opposite way.

[@maxi-me]

I don't find anything particularly fascinating about it. As with most country artists over the past decade, Nashville was just a launching pad for their dreams of pop stardom. Unfortunately no one told them Rick Rubin was no longer the top 40 starmaker he once was. Also superb country talent rarely translates into anything more than mediocre pop product.

[@MVTX]

@@maxi-me I think that The Band Perry could have done what Florida Georgia line did with "Meant to be" and just kind of flirt with the pop charts. Same goes for Maren Morris for the song "The Middle". Both of those songs were really successful but FGL and Morris ultimately still do country. I also though the Band Perry's pop aesthetic was very forced and unnatural.

[@maxi-me]

@@MVTX I suppose, if just to suppress their longing of being left out of the mainstream. The best decision would have been to stick to their guns. Florida-Georgia state line is not the band they should take cues from IMO. Those guys are entertainers not artists. Not a putdown, they're great at what they do, but they have aspired far beyond simply flirting with pop. They'll make a fabulous Vegas act someday. TBP on the other hand were steeped in Appalachian folk, which was once an important element in the humble beginnings of Nashville. THAT'S what makes them fascinating. They had a lot of potential to preserve that tradition In country but sadly record label speculators exploited their youthful curiosities and derailed their burgeoning career. I only hope they will return to those roots, even if they spend the remainder of their career on the county fair circuit.

[@courtney.22]

If they came back to country, I truly don't know if that same passion would there. They've honestly permanently betrayed most of their fans at this point.

[@maxi-me]

@@courtney.22 you're probably right and too difficult for them to recapture the magic that inspired those records. Dixie Chicks could school 'em on that subject

[@joshuajanecek6264]

This subject brought to mind David Frizzel's "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino" which is a song I hadn't thought about in a long, long time.

[@1997LeAnn]

Funny story about "Bobbi with an I": My mom and I went to see Phil Vassar and Craig Morgan about 8 years ago. It was around Christmas time and was really laid-back (it was in a pretty nice theater for small-town Indiana). They sat on stage together the whole time, shared the same band, and traded songs and stories all night. After the first few songs, Craig Morgan said something along the lines of "Hey, we're really glad that you all came to our show. We want to play what you want to hear so let us know" and IMMEDIATELY someone stood up and yelled for "Bobbi with an I". Phil just sat there and looked at the person and slowly said "We were gonna play some Christmas songs, and THAT'S what you want to hear? No one on this tour so far has requested "Bobbi with an I" that fast." Craig Morgan almost fell off his chair, he was laughing so hard. It was an awesome show. Katie Armiger opened for them, and it was just a real down-to-earth group of people on that stage. Awesome songwriting and musicianship from everyone. Craig Morgan is an absolute power-house and incredibly under-rated as an artist and writer in country music. And I got to meet Phil Vassar after the show. As a huge fan of him as a writer AND an artist, 15-year-old me died a little inside that night. He wrote so many songs from my childhood.

I have seen huge legendary acts live like George Strait, Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, Hank Jr. etc, and I've seen big modern acts like Aldean, Bryan, Church, FGL, ZBB etc. but I've never heard anything like the final verse of "If I Die Young" when The Band Perry had the packed crowd at Tiger Stadium sing the final verse by ourselves. Just thousands of people all singing along in harmony to this huge and beautiful song. It was such an incredible moment and I've never heard such a large crowd nail that in that way before. The band seemed so genuinely moved and emotional after and spoke to us about how much that meant to them. Such a great moment and The Band Perry made such great country music for a while. I guess I'm glad they're pursuing what they want, but I can't help but be disappointed at what they've become, personally.

I'm 50, grew up on the best country music ever, thanks Dad. I haven't listened to country radio in over a decade. Just recently found your KZbin channel. I had NO idea about the Property Brothers music prowess, LOL. Wow, every time I check in on the state of country music I'm reminded why I don't listen to it anymore.

[@candycarter7059]

I remember that Alecia Elliot song - I actually really liked that CD, but I don’t think I ever saw the video. I always wondered what happened to her.

[@dustinlynch3196]

I especially want to appreciate you because you are a wonderful fan. Thank you for your kind comments on my post, it means a lot to me🙏

[@henrysoprano7]

I just love these kinds of video essays, great work Grady

[@brockpifer9929]

Man u did a awesome editing job on this one! 👏

[@ryanblosser7681]

Oh I love Trace Adkins 😂

[@dragonflyy000]

Grady you are DEFINITELY not a nerd by any means!! I just discovered your page, but I've been binge watching all your videos as time allows me!! This one was super interesting, a lil weird yes, but who doesn't love a lil weird in their life??!! Lol When you said Trace Adkins I was sure you were gonna say "I Got My Game On" that starred the comedian Rodney Carrington!! Its just as goofy as Brown Chicken Brown Cow, and weird as they may be--- they absolutely crack me up!!! These kind of videos make my day!! I end up making a list from your lists to go check out these crazzyyy songs!!! LOL But for real--- thanks to you man... I know this isn't always easy to gather some of this info but dude we love you for it & hope you know it!! ✌ PS-Cannot wait for the Chris Gaines video!!! The suspense is killing me!! 🤣

Toby Keith’s “Running Block” is one of those songs that would get him canceled if the mainstream caught wind of it”

[@jquinn4302]

He's got a few of those 😉

[@dannykrouse]

Brown Chicken Brown Cow is a classic and a national treasure!

[@GradySmith]

We all have to stand for something!

[@jennhaberer6152]

Along with his classic baseball analogy get the girl song “Swing!” 🙌🏼

[@dannykrouse]

@@GradySmith I will die on that hill lol

Haley Georgia was painful to watch live, honestly. She opened for Lee Brice at my local county fair a few years back.

[@emiliohinojosa6931]

I'm surprised you didn't include Wacky Tobaccy by Toby Keith. Who doesn't love a good country song about weed, plus ol' Willie makes a cameo in it.

[@BRBTechTalk]

The Band Perry has some weird fascination with death it seems to me. I like their sound but I don't always like the lyrics they come up with.

[@ckarocks1996]

You forgot to mention Little Honky Tonk Queen by Moe and Joe and The Jogger by Bobby Bare. Now those are some weird songs 😂

[@sorrybarley7509]

The Band Perry was the first country band that I listened to, back when I was first discovering country music. I liked their two country albums. I like Live Forever and Stay in the Dark. I think they’re good songs on their own, but it is a bit strange and jarring when you compare it to how they used to sound. I always wondered what happened to them, and why they didn’t put any more albums out, but never bothered to look into it. Well, now I know. I don’t really keep up with what they’re doing anymore, but I still do enjoy their older songs.

[@Antigone10]

I don't listen to country, except when on I40 crossing TN, but this guy makes awesome vids about the industry and the music!

[@TenPoundHammer]

True story: The week "Bobbi with an I" entered the charts, I googled the title and got zero results. That song just came the FUCK out of nowhere.

[@velvetplatz1024]

Another great, weird song is.... "Where's The Dress?" by Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley...it's a reflection of two old boys who see/hear Boy George and decide to become Boy Moe & Boy Joe... hilarious song....if you haven't heard it before, check it out.

[@kyliepollert8341]

I have loved George and Culture Club, since I was a little girl; that song's hilarious! (They did get sued by Boy George himself, however, for using the introduction to "Karma Chameleon" without permission, which they should've asked the members of Culture Club first, before recording "Where's the Dress?".)

[@coopigeon619]

I vaguely remember the Scott Brothers making music. I was a fan of the Property Brothers and man that was a blast from the past. So was the segment about the Band Perry.

[@rochellebezooyen6465]

I have to add “A boy named sue” by Johnny Cash is also just strange 😂

[@wendyhaun2559]

My name is SUE HOW DO YOU DO. Ah Shel Silverstein.

[@juleswins3]

@@wendyhaun2559 He was one fantastic songwriter!

[@melenhead11]

Any regular viewer of this channel has not forgotten “Donkey.” Grady won’t let us 😂

I really like Wheeler Walker Jr.!

[@explorationgabe]

I heard Honky Tonk Badonkadonk for the first time on the radio last week, could hardly believe my ears lmao

[@sandboxsub333]

I'm jealous you had 15 years of not knowing that song existed.

[@kmech3rd]

My old crush had a spectacular backside, and she used to line dance enthusiastically to that tune down at the local Country bar. Complete cheese but I had no objections when the DJ put that one on. Those were the days...

[@crispychris9492]

I was scarred for life when I first found out the Scott brothers made music and then listened to it. It sounds so bad with their voices that are so overdone with auto tune

[@andrewbranson4874]

The normal version of honky tonk badonkadonk that's not the club mix goes hard
