Bill Steely

Ok, so I am stuck at work today, and I was hunting around CDBaby to find some new music to sample and I ran across this Christian artist Bill Steely.
Not at all hard music, but it is self-described as "Christian Alternative Rock with a southern rock feel." Kind of reminds me of the secular group "The Wallflowers".

Something about this is very appealing to me. Don't know if its the well written music, or the sincerity coming through the lyrics. But I dig it.
Check it out, and then you can yell at me for posting this.

I realy like the liyrcs the music isnt to bad but still has that country sound to it and i DONT like country overall it was ok

Drumdude is correct. While we oler people might call this southern rock, this is what modern country sounds like.

Ya'll give me grief about some of the more pop rock stuf, but this is just too country for me.

Well I don't hear any banjos, fiddles, or slide guitar.
The majority of the vocals are not sung through his nose.
And the lyrics don't include anything about trucks, dogs, horses, mama, or honkey tonkin.
There may be some country influence, but it sounds more like alt country, than traditional country.

But I don't care what you call it, I like it.

Hmm not too bad. Depending on my mood, I might enjoy this at that certain time!

Bill Steely is not really my favorite music.

When I called it country, I meant modern country music. It definitely isn't Merle Haggard, but it has a lot in common with Toby Keith.

Musically you might be able to convince me of that (not that I have heard much Toby Keith), but lyrically....no way.

Well, of course not, lyrically. Just a genre comparison.

I figured that is what you meant, but I was feeling saucy.

Nope, no Merle Haggard, but for some reason I can't get the song "Rhinestone Cowboy" out of my head.
