Review:

Used to be that Country music represented the most raw and honest glimpse at humanity that music had to offer. Somewhere along the line that all changed though…country music became polished, pretty, more worried about mass consumption than honest music. The sounds on country radio became indistinguishable from those on pop radio. Is that Jessica Simpson or Taylor Swift? And what the hell is a honky tonk badonkadonk? I’m blushing just writing that.
Well, there’s a new movement in country music that’s buckin’ the current system and gettin’ back to the roots, specifically, Texas roots. Josh Ward Band is at the forefront of that movement. From Shephard, TX, this four piece band brings raw, honest songwriting and performance back to country music. You won’t find designer jeans and duets with Nelly here, just great red dirt music. Grab a beer and enjoy “Listen to Your Heart” and “Hard Whisky.” Josh Ward’s voice is exactly the voice that country needs right now.
