Late on this mainly because this weekend has been busy but meh. So why are they my artist of the week.

I hadn't heard of them before this thread so I listened to a couple of their songs. Not my type of music. He sounds very country and it is a strange country rock mix, a lot like Nickelback but without the pop songs.

Lonely Train was a WWE PPV theme a few years back.

Like this band though, saw them live when I saw Nickelback a couple of years ago (don't even ask). They supported them and were fairly decent. The three songs recommended in this thread are definitely the best from them.
