John Rich - Another You

After announcing that 2008 would be the year that John Rich released a solo single and album, he basically didn't do much aside from his CMT "Gone Country" show and being a judge on Nashville Star. "Another You" is the first single from the Muzik Mafia co-founder and what a big old power ballad it is. If Emerson Drive's "Belongs To You" sounded like a sure-fire wedding hit, "Another You" tops it. By a lot. Quite simply, this is one of those no-brainer types of songs that will not only be a big hit on the country charts but it will be a song that crosses genre lines and becomes a smash Adult Contemporary radio hit. It has the sound of John's first album "Underneath The Same Moon" mixed in with a little "Lost In This Moment" from the last Big & Rich record. If John wanted a song that would get people's attention, "Another You" is certainly the song to do it.

While I don't agree with JR's politics, I do end up liking a lot of his songs, even if it's formulatic at times.

Oh how I wish this conceited little twerp would just disappear from the country music realm entirely. There are many reasons behind the so called decline of mainstream country music, and I include John Rich as a prime contributing factor. He's icky.....
