The shift in country music over the past 5 or 6 years toward more of a rock flavor has, I'm sure, brought in more fans to the genre. I'm one of those.
Unfortunately, recent country concerts I've attended were a little TOO rock and rowdy. I almost didn't recognize some of the songs from their radio versions because they were too amped up and over the top.
BUT, Easton Corbin & Dierks Bentley brought a great, down-home atmosphere. There was not an overabundance of vomiting teenagers wearing heavy metal shirts. If you like a great performance by genuine country artists, then this was a great place to be.
Dierks' "Free and Easy" and "Lotta Leavin' Left to Do" were rollicking, yet true to their recorded versions.
