Last night: Luke Bryan closes out RodeoHouston in style. RODEOHOUSTON lukebryan
There’s something quaint about the fact there are still a handful of country purists out there that think Luke Bryan is the devil. Yeah, we’ve been over this before, about how he has songs with some of the dumbest lyrics around, and how he’s ultimately harmless, but the fact that we’re in the Year of OurThe transition of pop country into the land of 808s and awful rhymes was always just a formality. There’s too much money to be made to keep it all steel guitar and fiddles.
But why take it out on Luke Bryan? Sure, a decade ago when “Country Girl ” was more omnipresent, it made sense, but if you look at his work over the past decade it’s not been all kick drums and dad raps. If anything, his music is more in line with Jimmy Buffett, summer anthems for people who spend their winters in deer blinds and are excited about the prospect of getting a tan after a cold season of killing.
What’s always seemed strange about the Rodeo is that these acts getting booked in bring in 50-to-70 thousand people to see them and yet somehow the crowds never feel particularly big. The screams and sing-a-longs never sound as loud as you'd expect unless the person booked is a pure pop act. Bryan is the one country artist whose Rodeo shows feel like an event; the crowd gets loud, they dance in their seats, they pull out their cellphones. The shows feel special.
It’s not going to be for everyone, and that’s OK. You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to respect it. But don’t bother complaining about it because the crowd isn’t going to notice. Luke Bryan is on stage, and they’ve come to NRG Stadium to dance.Every year about halfway through his set, I worry this will be the year Bryan doesn’t play “Crash My Party.
