  • 10 of the Best Singles of 2017 (so far)

    Now ya'll know we can just give you a list and say here ya go. We have to include some videos for ya to enjoy…just be careful not to get got rocking out too hard while at work!

    Here they are in no particular order:

    1. Brad Paisley “Today”

    Brad Paisley struck a chord once again with the release of “Today.” A man known just as much for his funny songs as his touching ballads, “Today” will no doubt survive the test of time and likely become the wedding song of 2017.

    2. Brothers Osborne – “It Ain't My Fault”

    On the gritty “It Ain’t My Fault,” Brothers Osborne’s musicianship is fully displayed with thumping drums and hand-clapped rhythms. All the while, TJ’s voice blends impeccably with John’s always impressive guitar shredding. It’s a rollicking track that should be listened to on repeat.

    3. Brett Young – “In Case You Didn’t Know”

    Brett Young followed the success of his first No. 1 hit “Sleep Without You” with another chart-topper thanks to “In Case You Didn’t Know.” Throughout the song, Young sings of all the things he’s been feeling for a girl but can’t quite put into words. Luckily for his lady, he can serenade her instead.

    4. Jon Pardi – “Dirt On My Boots”

    Jon Pardi is bringing the traditional back to mainstream country music and no song better showcases this than “Dirt On My Boots.” A mix of old and new, the distinct music combined with Pardi’s captivating singing style makes it nearly impossible not to tap your boots along to the song.

    5. Josh Turner – “Hometown Girl”

    Josh Turner had a huge return in 2017, notching his first No. 1 song in seven years with “Hometown Girl.” The sweet ballad showcases Turner’s familiar baritone as he sings of the girl next door who can hang with the boys and never forgets her roots.

    6. Keith Urban “Blue Ain’t Your Color”

    “Blue Ain’t Your Color” is one of the most successful songs of 2017, spending an incredible 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The striking ballad is reminiscent of music from the 1950s with slowed instrumental accompaniment, bluesy guitar interludes and Keith Urban’s memorable singing style — all of which add up to a smash record.

    7. Lauren Alaina “Road Less Traveled”

    Lauren Alaina saw her first No. 1 earlier this year with the empowering anthem “Road Less Traveled.” With hand-clapped rhythms, foot stomping percussion and her powerful vocals, “Road Less Traveled” had the American Idol alum urging us all to be ourselves and continue marching to the beat of a different drum. “You won’t make yourself a name if you follow the rules / History gets made when you’re actin’ the fool,” she belts.

    8. Luke Bryan – “Fast”

    A song he co-wrote, the singer looks back on life nostalgically throughout “Fast.” The usual hip-shaking country star shows his soft side on this one and it pays off, marking his 18th career No. 1 single and also making him the only artist to garner six No. 1 singles from an album.

    9. Little Big Town – “Better Man”

    Little Big Town are well known for their heart-wrenching ballads and their Taylor Swift-penned single “Better Man” exemplifies this talent. A song about a man who did her wrong, Karen Fairchild’s smoky vocals get the song’s point achingly across with the assist from her band mates on harmonies.

    10. Luke Combs – “Hurricane”

    Luke Combs saw his first chart success with his No. 1 single “Hurricane.” The North Carolina native co-wrote the song, which vividly compares an ex to a hurricane that he can’t seem to avoid. “Rain was driving, thunder, lightning / You wrecked my whole world when you came / And hit me like a hurricane,” he sings.
