Well, if I were in a dive bar, and Garth Brooks was singing, I would escort myself out.
...I'd look around, wondering if it turned into a gay bar.
As it happens, I saw Tyler Childers last night. Not at a dive bar, but a large amphitheater. One of the things that went through my head was “This is damn sure not country pop a la Garth Brooks!”
I saw him 3 years ago and 2 years ago. I liked him quite well then, and was blown away by how much better his band has become. And they very good before. Recommended.
