Best Betts 8/21/2007

8/21/2007 Stephen L. Betts   Joe Nichols, Real Things, Universal South Thanks for making things easy for me this week, Joe! Sure, there are probably some other fine CDs out today, but really, why bother? This one has everything any self-respecting country fan needs. It also happens to be one of the best albums of the year. Joe Nichols has one of the strongest, most effective neo-traditional country voices today, and if you want to argue about it, well, as the song says “Let’s Get Drunk and Fight.” Track You Should Download NOW: “My Whiskey Years”
