PS. I absolutely despise “The Shake” too.

I admit that McCoy isn’t exactly a top tier artist. I like some of his stuff though: “”For A Change”, “No Doubt About It”, “Heaven”, “Wink” and even “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On.”:) I don’t really consider him to be a serious artist, but I’ve been known to enjoy his kind of fluff back in the 90s. There won’t be an FSBFA feature on him from me, however.:)

I certainly agree that Neal McCoy in concert is electrifying and far better than anyone I have ever seen in concert and I have seen many in past years. How anyone can say his songs are mediocre is ludricous. His songs do not give Country music a bad name. Consider songs like Alcohol and Badonkadonk, She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy, etc. Those songs have no content whatsoever and are very suggestive to impressionable listeners. Neal has a beautiful voice and his slow songs have a good message in them if only people would take the time to listen. Yes, some of his songs are party songs but no more suggestive than any others out there and they are fun songs. I haven’t heard a Neal song that does not hold my attention the entire time. In fact, most every other country music singer is completely dull next to Neal. Neal is #1 in entertainment and voice quality.

While I might agree that “The Shake” and “Billy’s Got his Beer Goggles On” are considered party songs, I don’t understand how they can be singled out from the many other beer drinking, fun loving songs that have been floating around out there for the last few years by several different country music artists. Voice quality and entertainment ability seem to be what should be focused on, and Neal is certainly number one in both of those areas. Nothing mediocre, all excellence.

It’s titles like “Rednecktified” and “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On” that help to give country music a bad reputation, whether it deserved that reputation or not.

I liked Neal back in the day but just couldn’t get into much. He had some fun stuff for sure but it’s the epitome of ‘radio-friendly’ fodder. You’re right about the live show, though. Absolutely killer.

I’m surprised you gave it even two stars.
