Dirt Road Anthem<\/em> by Jason Aldean<\/p>\n Although I don\u2019t listen to country music very often, this is one song I like very much. When I think of the genre of Country music, I think of dirt roads out in the country, drinking beer, people smoking cigars, and just living carefree. Dirt Road Anthem<\/em><\/a> brings out those feelings when I listen to it. Jason Aldean also has that \u201ctwang\u201d in his voice which makes him sound even more country. In my opinion, Country music should be about anything that makes you happy and it should help the listener forget about their worries so that they can just enjoy the music for what it is.<\/p>\n In the music video for Dirt Road Anthem<\/em>, Jason Aldean is either singing in the middle of an old country road, or inviting all of his friends to come have a good time with him. The music video clips show Jason driving down a dirt road further and further into the country. Then, as the video progresses, all of his buddies and their girls join him with their trucks to start the party. They drink beer and have a bonfire, just like Jason Aldean describes in his song, which helps put a picture to what he is saying.<\/p>\n In a certain part of the chorus, the lyrics are: \u201claid back swervin\u2019 like I\u2019m George Jones, smoke blownin\u2019 out the window, and ice cold beer sittin\u2019 in the consol.\u201d I believe this part of the song signifies to me what country is all about. It is about not caring about what the world is doing, but rather just hanging out with your friends listening to music and doing anything that you enjoy. I feel that this is what draws listeners so much to the idea of country music. It gives you piece of mind and helps you forget about the problems you have or anything else you may be going through, at least for a little while. Country music is also about the vibe that you give off, including what you wear. In the video, everybody is wearing jeans, cowboy boots, and cut off flannels. Jason Aldean is going even further and sporting his cowboy hat. This gives the perception that you are somebody who lives in the country and is very laid back as well. But, more importantly this genre is about living carefree and showing you don\u2019t give a damn about what anybody thinks.<\/p>\n This song has turned me on to the genre of country music more than any other song I\u2019ve heard so far. Jason Aldean is a very talented performer and it shows in his music. He\u2019s got that certain \u201ctwang\u201d in his voice that many look to achieve, and it seems that he has the ideal attitude of a country boy too. I still do not listen to a whole lot of country music at is it, but I definitely enjoy it more now than in the past.<\/p>\n Comment and let me know what y\u2019all think!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean Although I don\u2019t listen to country music very often, this is one song I like very much.
