Hey! My name is Grady, and I cover country music (and folk/Americana/country-pop/whatever you call it) on this channel because I love it, and not many people were showing country any love on KZread. I've written for Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, Taste of Country, and Rolling Stone, but lately, it's way more fun to just cut loose and talk on KZread. I try to speak HONESTLY, not just react melodramatically for the camera. I hope you enjoy!

I'm crying why is this so funny 😂😭
Zach Bryan’s ‘Pink Skies’ is my favorite of the three, however Lainey’s song is very catchy and the song Luke did for the Twisters album ‘Ain’t no love in Oklahoma’ is such a great track! Excited to hear all the records!
Grady make a new video about Zach Top!
Make a sequel but with women and songs about cheating, revenge and being a bad girl.
Alana Springsteen 🥲🥲
But still love this list tho. 🎉🎉
Surprised Morgan Wallen and Florida GA Line wasn’t on here
Monsters is one of churches top songs for me easily
The bottom line is: I just really love Walker Hayes! He just seems Soo down to earth & likable & he Loves his Wife and Kids & they get to join in with him a good bit! They have Fun & So does He! He seems like a really Sweet Honest & Lovable & Talented Best Friend kind of guy❣️ 💞🙋🏼♀️👏🙏🤷♀️😘💞
Ostrich skin boots go hard
Very cool. Such a complicated instrument; I’m a guitar player, but can’t imagine learning to play pedal steel. Just amazing.
Brian back hard country
Small gripe but the snaps are NOT on the 2 and 4, they are on the 3. Feels like you should get that right.
I'm really looking forward to when we go back to calling them albums, not eras. And while we're at it, can we say 'released' and not 'dropped'. That's my annual old man grump out the way, as you were.
Lainey’s songs are always so well written!! And the line of fans getting straight up sideways is an ode to her song Straight Up Sideways from the Sayin What I’m Thinking album!
Love Country? Check out Joe Wortell's new album "Vacations in Florida" streaming now
I just listened to the whole “Fathers And Sons“ album; I think it’s my favorite album from Luke Combs to date because I love all of its tacks‘ heartfelt lyrics and theme of the relationship between father and son. Also, its music leans heavier into the acoustic and bluegrass side of country with a little bit of piano and brush drums, which further melts my heart as a country listener. I give this album 10 out of 10.
Nice shirt Grady!!
Luke’s album was so so good. Especially as someone with a young son. I’ll be listening for many years
Zack top album review>>>>>
You need to do a video on the “most underappreciated acts in country history” and start with nitty gritty dirt band.
Grady, I hate to be another "you needa do this" comment... But really looking forward to what you're thinking abour Sturgill going back on tour! I'm so hyped. A little nervous, but so hyped. 🙈
Love ur channel
I said this last year, half the albums are out before they’re released these days. I don’t listen to radio so I took it upon myself to not proactively listen to any singles that would be attached to an album and it paid off. I got to hear Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton’s new albums this year without already being sick of the singles that came out first. About to listen to Luke Combs’ new album this morning.
Demo-itist. That’s awesome!! Being someone who found Lainey Wilson in 2018 I get worried that she’ll start getting hate for her success. Glad to see that’s she being her in her music. The outrage for who and who does win awards is why I don’t watch award shows anymore. I just search out the performances on KZread days later.
Lainey first found fame doing a song for Ram trucks which is odd because she drives Fords.
He comes across as a real dude. Very genuine and honest. Warts n all. I’ve been a fan for 1 year. Heard fancy like totally by accident one day in June 2023 and responded with ‘repeat’ and then ‘repeat’ again. He made me smile, laugh and happy. So I looked for more songs by him, loved them too. Subscribed to his channel, watched all his cute shorts and just basically became a fan of this man that just loves life and his family and making people smile. He’s just a real good dude. With a unique talent, just like Miranda Lambert. I enjoyed your epiphany very much, and now I’m going to see what else you’ve got. 👍🏻 maybe I’ll even subscribe if I see what I think I’m going to see.
I like him cuz it’s like music having a new horror genre
Luke’s career dipped during his last album? I don’t know man, between Fast Car being played a hundred billion times on the radio and a whole summer of two-night sellout shows in football stadiums I don’t think I noticed any dip.
Love the t shirt Grady! Those are my buddies!
Sure all you need is an algorithm, and some guy who can sing in the same key…..
I did actually know he was gonna drop a song with purple in it. I told my buddy I think he is gonna drop a song with purple in it and he said oh okay. Alright LeGradySmith
I mean it’s not really a brag haha it was just like a dumb side convo that happened and was funny
Here in 2024…Simpson is back with an upcoming new album, new tour - and a new name.
gradysmith thx for helping spread the word about Laney she's so fantastic and REAL, with a nice butt
Luke combs is a pop country star who sold out and his record label will shut down anyone making a video woth his music in it... guy sucks
Found one of those Upchuck can't sing for shit fans!
Four years later and he is one of the biggest stars in music.
its not new but i'd love to see you talk about charley crockett, just in general, but also what hes done in the industry and whatnot. idk id watch it tho!
Something in the Orange, Pink Skies, Purple Gas, Blue,… hmm I think ZB likes his color wheel
Nothing about the new Koe singles?
Every time I think I can't love her more and her genuine personality, I see something else and I love her even more. She is rare and I hope she always stays true to who she is and never feels she has to be anything else. She is really perfect the way she is just being herself. I saw her for free at the Mirage during NFR 2022 on a trip with one of my best friends to see Miranda Lambert(for the 8th time). Seeing both Miranda and Lainey in the same weekend was once in a lifetime amazing. I will not even wear my Black Lainey Fucking Wilson T-shirt I bought that night from a girl that was selling merch from a single box off in a small corner after the show(no fancy table, literally just standing there with a box and a card reader). I was one of 6 people that bought from her. I will treasure that T-shirt. I stood there and sang along to every song when no body even knew who she was yet. That girl is one hell of a do'er, and never let anyone side track her from being a dreamer.
Are you going to do a review of the new Luke Combs album?
i totally agree with this whole video and it caught me off gaged about the whole morgan/lainey stuff butt i agree with every word you said
Zach Bryan+luke combs=luke Bryan
Country music has turned into a giant pile of dog shit (sans Zach Top and Luke Combs).
I think this is the wrong Austin lol such a cool dance
Im getting burnt out on zach bryan. All his songs sound pretty similar. And he puts out way to much. You dont have anytime to gel with a project before hes hyping his next
Any comments on the koe wetzel singls?
Still patiently awaiting the day when Mountain Air by Holler Choir gets moment on this channel. Can't sleep on the best americana material outside of Childers forever.
I like the Luke record, it just feels too much like a great value version of Brantley's "Man Who Hung The Moon."
Pink skies is just a worse version of we dont live here no more by john denver
The Call by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood is a good one too. I really wish they would put his music on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, etc.
