Country Throwdown Is a Full Day of Music at Cruzan

A A A Comments (0) By Reed Fischer Thursday, May 13 2010

Country music still has a rugged side, no matter what pop-oriented acts like Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum say. The Country Throwdown Tour, sponsored by an energy drink and featuring a rockabilly skull in its logo, is an amalgam of the genre's rougher necks: Montgomery Gentry, Jamey Johnson, and Jack Ingram.

More About

Case in point, Johnson's That Lonesome Song is one of the rawest mainstream country albums in recent memory. In addition to drug-addled material like "High Cost of Living," he should be ready to uncork some new tunes from his just-completed follow-up.

Meanwhile, Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses pull the proceedings further down the alt-country path. Bingham, who used to be a rodeo bull rider, won an Oscar for Best Original Song for "The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart)" earlier this year and contributed several songs to Crazy Heart, a country film that pulls no punches either. Catching a dozen acts over the span of a day isn't exactly for weaklings, anyhow.
