Things have moved on from The
Bellamy's Brothers:
"If I said you had a beautiful
body, would you hold it against me?"

“Bro-country”, which still seems alive and well, generally depicts women
as scantily clad, model-like sexy objects with painted on jeans and daisy dukes
existing to drive men crazy. Yet
seemingly Luke has an army of mostly
female fans who are desperate to love his music, or is it him?
In Florida Georgia Line's "Get
Your Shine On," the "girl"
in the song is encouraged to keep drinking moonshine, then "slide that little sugar shaker over here"
and rock all night long. FGL even said 'Girl'
42 times on their still top 40 ANYTHING
GOES album!
In their >> video again it clearly demonstrates
they draw a large female fanbase looking to have fun a "Friday Night".
Jody Rosen (then of New York
Magazine) in a Rise of Bro-Country report in
August 2013 noted:
Put another way: If “Cruise” were
a guy at a bar, he would sidle up to the hottest blonde in the room, laugh
loudly at his own jokes, and, after crashing and burning with a couple of lame
pickup lines, ask, “Have you heard this awesome song?” Whereupon he would whip
out his iPhone and dial up the video for Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise.” In
short, “Cruise” is bro-country: music by and of the tatted, gym-toned,
party-hearty young American white dude.
Breaking down the stereotypes in
2015 Sam Hunt was one of the hottest
singers in country music. The most flattering thing I hear is, ‘I didn’t think
I liked country music before I heard your record.’ said Sam. Women in his songs
are treated very well, compared with his Nashville peers. “Respect for women
was a very important part of my upbringing,” Hunt told
Billboard Magazine.
Sheryl Crow who has
just released a new ROCK album titled Be Myself told USA Today in April this year: “The country market is a lot different than I thought it would be,”
she admitted. “This is not to slag
country but their songs now
are totally sexist”.
Nothing has changed in 4 years on
the Billboard Country Airplay chart – it
is still VERY Male dominated and the
artists, often, still refer to a “girl” not “lady”! Yet the radio
audience is probably over 50% female listeners!
 |
| Nashville Nights UK fans |
in their review highlighted the fact that there was a “a sea of women” and that they “probably
made up at least 70% of the crowd”!
The question is, do the
UK female country fans not mind the lyrics they are hearing but just love the
hot country hunks that deliver them?!
Would any of these pickup lines suggested in these lyrics have the desired effect or would you end up with a slap round the face? Do you have to look like a Sam Hunt a Kip Moore a Tyler Hubbard or a Chris Lane to pull them off”!
Could the Nash Nights UK events provide an
opportunity to try them out?
