Guide Review - Jarrod Birmingham - No Apologies
While some country music artists talk about how much they idolized classic country artists and they leave you wondering just where the influence is in their "country" music, at least there is Jarrod Birmingham. His music proves he holds those classic artists close to his heart.When Jarrod sings "If You Don't Like Me" it doesn't matter what you think of him because he probably won't think too much about you, either. You have to say what you want and be your own person instead of trying to please others. "Where'd You Go Country Music" is about longing for the music of the past, when things were simple yet effective and the songs were some of the best. Sometimes when two people need to break off a relationship, they'll go about it in a negative way. "Walk Away" says "it doesn't really matter who is right or wrong" you just need to leave without any hard feelings.
Jarrod breaks out the fun on "Rollin' Thunder," a story about why the man loves to ride motorcycles. From the chrome to the polish and the open highway, there's no wondering why the rumble calls to him. Before all the Dallas, Texas residents listen to "I Don't In Dallas," you must know the song is to be taken as tongue-in-cheek. He is only kidding about not living in the Metroplex. "Sad Country Song" is comprised of lines from old classic honky tonk tunes including "If We Make It Through December," "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound," "Right or Wrong," and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain."
