Morgan Wallen's ‘Dangerous’ Album Presents a Problem for Music Critics

01/07/21 • 11 min

There are very few people capable of properly reviewing an album like Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous, and even fewer who want to. This says nothing about the actual album and it’s relative worth. This is more about what goes into a proper album review. They're hard. They're time-consuming and — if we're being honest — nobody is reading them.

Big Rick Daniels Called Out Gary LeVox + Gary LeVox Called Back

Days after the Christmas morning bombing in Nashville, Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts gave weight to a conspiracy theory that a missile — not a bomb in an RV — was responsible for the explosion on 2nd avenue. Today's guest called his bluff. Big Rick Daniels hosts the morning show on Korn Country 100.3 in south-central Indiana. He's not a seasoned news journalist, but you wouldn't know it to hear him handle a serious topic with appropriate objectivity.
After our conversation about Gary, Rick and I talk about the art of the radio interview and how to avoid a major trap.
Then, some thoughts on two country wives who took to social media following the siege on the U.S. Capitol, which was literally happening as Gary and talked to each other.
Listen: Big Rick's interview with Gary LeVox on Korn Country.
See: Rick's tweet with the graphic Gary posted on Instagram and Facebook.
