Let’s Break Down: Saving Country Music’s 2023 Song of the Year Nominees
•
Cyril Neville’s “Love Has Got To Win” is nominated
– Sonny, this song has a soul deeper than a well-digger’s boots in a Texas mud hole. It’s like Neville’s voice took a ride on a country twilight and danced with the stars.
•
“From Where I’m Standing” by Colter Wall is making waves
– Now honey, if that boy’s song doesn’t touch your heart, I reckon you’re colder than a tin toilet seat on a January morning. His deep, haunting voice is as real as a heart attack and just as surprising.
•
Jennyville’s “Destination Unknown” made the cut
– Listen up, if you don’t find the rhythm of this song ferociously infectious, then sweetheart, you might as well be a wooden rocking horse. It’s a tune that makes a lonely heart bob like an apple in a tub of water at a Halloween party.
•
Nominee “Homegrown Tomatoes” by William Beckmann has everyone talking
– This ditty is spicier than granny’s homemade chili, and twice as hearty. It taps into every last drop of simple, Southern charm, and it’ll have y’all craving ripe tomatoes fresh off the vine.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, this year’s nominations are looking hotter than a $2 pistol. Now ain’t it something that when old Cyril Neville lifts his voice, it’s like hearing an angel whispering secrets as old as time? And let’s not forget about Colter’s melancholic melodies creeping on you like kudzu vines. Not to mention that Jennyville tune, ‘Destination Unknown,’ sweet as a mint julep on a summer’s evening.
And don’t get me started on Beckmann with ‘Homegrown Tomatoes’. I swear, I could almost smell those fresh tomatoes and feel the southern sunrise on my face. Mercy sakes alive, country music this year is like a fine moonshine, guaranteed to put a spell on ya and leave you dancin’ barefoot in the moonlight. Y’all stay tuned to see who will get the golden ticket this time; it’s gonna be as unpredictable as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs!
