Hi everybody welcome to my blog post. This one is all about my favourite country music superstars. I talk about their songs and albums, awards they have won, and why I like them as musicians.
#1 Brantley Gilbert
I like his music because It’s mixed with country and heavy rock. He has lots of power in his songs when he sings. He brings the heat to Edmonton every time he comes here. There were drunk girls at his concert because he knows how to make his fans rowdy. I was working for Corus Entertainment during this concert and then after work I went to watch some of the show with my coworker Angie. This was on March 7th in 2018. I really want to see the full concert this time with Sarah my girlfriend in 2021.
These are some of his albums that he has released during his carer as a country music artist. Just as I am released on May 19th of 2014, The devil don’t sleep released on January 27th of 2017, Fire and Brimstone released on October 4th of 2019, Read Me My Rights was released in 2015. The only thing why I like Brantley Gilbert is to entertain his fans with great songs and have a good time. I’m hoping to see him again soon at rogers place in 2021. Let’s get rowdier than ever before. I also hope you can put these songs on your next album in 2021.
Songs I like from him
1 Bottoms up
2 One hell of an amen
3 The Weekend
4 Kick it in the sticks
5 The ones that like me
6 Fire it up
7 Hard days
8 What happens in a small town
9 Not like us
10 Man that hung the moon
11 It’s about to get dirty
I want to hear a new single by Brantley Gilbert that featuring Luke Combs. When I saw both these two mega country stars live at rogers place I thought they needed to do a song together. Brantley Gilbert concert was over the top the rowdiest concert I have been to it was about to get dirty. Luke Combs album is mostly all about drinking songs and he thrives on songs like Beer never broke my heart. I want their song to be an upbeat mixed country and heavy rock and a real rowdy song about beer, trucks and jaked up shots. They are both great songwriters so I know they will make a great song together.
#2 Brett Young
Brett young came out on January 9th in 2017 it is a self-titled album. The second album was Ticket to LA and it came out on December 7th in 2018. He only made 2 Albums so far but right now he is currently in the process of making another album. Brett Young has won the Academy of country music award for the new male artist of the year and for video of the year for his song mercy.
Five songs from him that I really like are In case you didn’t know, Mercy, Here tonight, Catch, Don’t wanna write this song. Brett Young has scored his 6th consecutive number 1 hit on the billboard country airplay chart his most recent single Catch and LA which claimed number 1 spot on the billboard top country albums chart in 2018.
Thomas Rhett was the opener for Brett Young at Rogers Place. The concert was on May 6th of 2017 and I was there. The name of the tour was Life Changes tour. I think that concert was the most entertaining show I have ever seen.
#3 Chad Brownlee
He was a former hockey player for the Vancouver Canucks and he was a defenceman. He was a draft pick for the Canucks 6th round and selected 190 overall. He played with the Mississauga Steelheads before he ended his playing career. He has released 3 albums and they are called Hearts On Fire came out in 2016, Back In The Game came out in 2019, and The Fighters came out in 2014. He was nominated for a Juno award for country album of the year on February 19th in 2013. His new single Money On You came out on January 10th, 2020. I hope he will make his third single in 2021. Me and my girlfriend Sarah went to his concert at Cook County Saloon for an invite-only concert to meet him backstage. We had an awesome night singing to all of his songs. He said to us next year he will be doing a full concert at Rogers Place in 2021 to party all night. Songs these are my top songs from him so far, Forever’s gotta start Somewhere, Dear Drunk me, The way you roll, Something we shouldn’t do, Rest of your night, Something Real, When the lights go down, Hearts on fire, Bourbon.
#4 Rascal Flatts post
They were a great band for 20 years but they are officially going their separate ways. I really liked their songs and albums. Gary Levox has the voice of an angel when he sings his songs. I really hope Gary Levox goes solo to make his own country songs so I can download his songs on my iPhone. The three members will be going their separate ways was after a farewell tour. The first Rascal Flatts album came out on June 6th of 2000 and the last album they made was called How They Remember You which came out on July 31rst of 2020. Unfortunately Gary Levox changed his genre to Inspirational music. I’m not happy he won’t be singing country music anymore. Thanks a lot Gary.
My favourite songs from Rascal Flatts are
1 How They Remember You
2 Yours if you want it
3 I like the sound of that
4 Rewind
5 Back to us
6 Back to life
7 Here comes goodbye
8 Come wake me up
9 My Wish
I’m sad that I have never been to one of their concerts and I won’t ever be able to see them live because they are not going to be a band anymore. But I really hoping for Gary Levox will put these songs on his own album in 2021 when he decides to be solo. I want him to sing and play his own electric guitar.
#4 Dallas Smith
He was the head singer of Default a heavy rock band that started in 1999. They are no longer a band andI have never seen this band live before. He changed his genre to rock and now he is doing country music to be the next big thing in country music. I like him because he has lots of upbeat songs and he is the current entertainer of the year. The concert openers were Dean Brody, The Reklaws, Chad Brownlee, and Mackinzie Porter. That show was awesome. We sang loud to every song that night and that was an early birthday present for me. Me, Sarah my girlfriend, Denise, and my mom Barb all went to this concert.
Dallas Smith has won two awards and the first is the top-selling Canadian album of the year. He also won the top-selling Canadian single of the year. That’s why he is on my boys list of all time. I want to see a collaboration between Dallas Smith with Jason Aldean. I hope they write a duette together and I hope it will be upbeat with electric guitars. He has made 4 alumbs and they are called Side Effects, Jumped right in, Tippin Point and Timeless.

#5 Luke Bryan
I like him because he has great songs and albums. I have never seen him live before at Rogers place. He likes to party all night long, he is a very funny guy and he is currently a judge on American Idol.
Luke Bryan released his first single from his fifth album Kill the lights and the song is called Kick the dust-up which peaked number 1 on the country airplay chart. Also he released another song called Light it up in 2017. That song served as the lead off single to his sixth album. What makes you country which was released on December 8th in 2017 with these songs, Most people are good, Sunrise sunburn sunset and his new single What she wants tonight.
Some of my favourite songs by him are
1 One margarita
2 Knockin boots
3 Down to one
4 Kick the dust up
5 Sunrise sunburn sunset
6 Most people are good
7 Light it up
8 What makes you country
9 Fast
#6 Lee Brice
He is from South Carolina. Lee Brice performed a single with Carly Pearce and that song is called I hope you’re happy now. This song was the number 1 song on the American country countdown with Kix Brooks. Luke Combs wrote that song for them. I think this was a great way to kickoff Lee Brice’s music Career off a high note. That single is on Lee Brice’s new album and it’s called Hey World.
These are some of Lee Brice’s albums he had released over the years. The first is Hard to love and it came out on April 24th in 2012. The second album is called I don’t Dance and it came out on September 9th in 2014. His newest album is called Hey World came out on November 20th, 2020.
These are the awards he has won over the years. New Artist of the year in 2012. Video of the year for I drive your truck in 2014. Top New Male Artist in 2013. He could have won more awards because he was nominated but didn’t win them. I wanted him to win those awards but maybe next time he will.
Ryan’s top 6 songs from Lee Brice
1 One Of Them Girls
2 More Beer
3 Parking Lot Party
4 Rumor
5 Drinking Class
6 and his latest single - Welcome to the Weekend
I can’t wait to see him for my very first time at Rogers Place. Lee Brice is working alongside the hottest guy in country music it’s the megastar himself Luke Combs who is dominating the country Billboard chart to make Lee Brice produce more songs for his fans. I like the way Lee Brice plays his electric guitar and sings his songs. He brings a rowdy raw energy to his fans and he also knows to party hard. Energy and excitement are important things to fans and country music stars know that they need to be rowdy to entertain their fans.
#7 Florida Georgia Line
These are the 2 members of the band and their names are Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelly. All together they are Florida Georgia line and for short I call them FGL.
These are some of the albums that have been released over the years as a band. They are called Life rolls on and that’s their current album that came out on February 14th in 2021. The next album is called Dig your roots that came out in 2016. Next is Can’t say I ain’t country which came out in 2019. Anything goes came out in 2014. And last is Here’s to the good times which came out in 2013. They have been releasing lots of music and I hope they keep releasing more. They have been coming through Edmonton for their world tours. They are currently living in Nashville and thats where they go to write new songs.
The awards they won over the years are Billboard music award for top country song, Billboard music award for top country artist, and American music award for favourite duo or group country. I want them to win more awards and to make a new album. These are some of my favourite songs from them over the years, Holy, Long live, Dirt, Anything goes, Confession, Sippin on fire, I love my country, Colorado, People are different and Can’t hide red.
I like this band because I saw them at Rogers place it was an awesome show. I went with Sarah my Girlfriend and we sang loud to every song. Me and Sarah went to this concert for our very first official date as boyfriend and girlfriend. We had an awesome time together.
#8 The Reklaws post
The band members of the Reklaws are Stuart Walker and Jenna Walker. I like this band because they are a brother and sister duo band. They performed at the Superbowl halftime show and I saw them at cook county saloon for the Superbowl afterparty. They also put a table on the stage for these college girls to play beer pong. It was getting rowdy and some of the girls were riding the bull. These two songs actually made the cook county bar rowdy that night. The first song was Long live the night and I can’t help myself featuring Dean Brody.

Major awards they won over the years as the hottest band are Album of the year in 2019, Songwriter of the year in 2020, Group or duo of the year in 2018, and Music video of the year in 2020. Songs I like from the Reklaws are Where I’m from, I do too, Old country soul, Long live The Night, Can’t Help Myself, Not Gonna Not and Feels Like That.

#11 Dan And Shay
I can’t wait to hear more songs like the new single they released called Glad You Exist in 2021 so I can download them to listen for my workouts downstairs. I saw them live with my cousin Nichole we had a blast singing to every song that night. It got rowdy when we sang tequila. They won a Grammy award at the 2019 awards for the best country Duo/Group Performance for their song Tequilla. People are saying they are the next Rascal Flatts. I like them because they bring energy to their powerful singing voice. The performance of their song Tequilla got the fans off their feet because that song is the hottest song in country music right now.
They have made 3 studio albums so far and I can’t wait for their number 4 Album in 2021 and for awesome songs on it. The current albums are called Dan and Shay which came out in 2018, Where it all began that came out in 2014 and Obsessed came out in 2016.

Me and Sarah went to his concert and we had a blast singing to every song that night. Faith Hill had too many songs to sing at the concert I really wanted just to hear Tim Mcgraw sing at rogers place not his wife Faith Hill. Tim Mcgraw has made 10 studio albums so far over the years. Some of them are Neon Church came out in 2018, The Ulitmate Collection came out in 2016, Southern Voice came out in 2009, Two lanes of freedom came out in 2013, Damn country music came out 2015, and his current Album called Here On Earth came out in 2020.
