The only one of those songs I think is really good is never walk away. Casey doesnt know how to write or find any upbeat fun songs.

I may be the only one, but I like Run-Away. A simple song, but easy to sing along with.

I just had to go re listen to run away. What a great song to sing to and so radio friendly. Yep Casey is recording the wrong songs.

Casey has left amazing songs from the first record. and some ones that didn't even make the cut.

I was just thinking of something funny. Remember back after idol before Caseys deal with Sony was announced and the big rumor how there was a bidding war or something and Warner brothers wanted him. I don't know if there was any truth to that but maybe they come calling if Casey gets dropped.

What? Houston is cray! I know Casey has a show there this weekend, but 54 spins? He's just the opening act. KKBQ-FM Houston Country 54 14 40 16 11 15 10 2 1.198 KNCI-FM Sacramento Country 39 40 -1 11 6 9 7 6 0.246 WNOE-FM New Orleans Country 11 12 -1 5 4 2 0.049 KSCS-FM Dallas Country 7 23 -16 2 1 2 2 0.133 WPOR-FM Portland, ME Country 7 13 -6 2 3 1 1 0.026 It is really sad to see this song fade so fast. I am DYING to see what he plays this weekend. From what I am hearing he did not play ANY of his singles at the HGTV Lodge show at CMA Fest. He just played some covers, Drive, WWGT and Love Another Day. He didn't even play FA, COAS or LDCIAN.

Sometimes I think he doesn't want to have his own music. If all he wants to do is play covers then he needs to leave Sony and go back to playing for a couple people every night.

I think he definitely wants his own songs but either has a hard time picking/writing the right ones or is too indecisive. He seems to be in a rut of only having slow to mid tempo romantic ballads. Where are the fun, catchy and rocking tunes? He needs a good mentor. Not sure if he's lacking confidence or overthinking things or what.

He just needs to be himself. Not worry so much if radio will like it. Most of the time this is when a artist will have the most success. He needs to look at drive and build a album around that.

Another thing he needs to write a bunch with the Warren brothers. Their music and style fits Casey perfectly. Since they helped with drive they could help him build around that style. They had a very rock edge when they were making albums. I used to play one of their CDs all the time.

I wish someone would take him under their wing!
This clip includes what I was talking about with the Shania comment. She was picking up on something I think could still be part of what is going on....

The sad thing is this is Caseys last chance because of his age. He doesn't have time to be mentored and grow. If he wasn't thirty yet he might have a better chance to find himself. But his age he doesn't have that time now. He should already know himself.
It also doesn't help when everyone keeps blaming the state of country radio. That is not the problem. Country radio is going to play what sells. You have to show who you are. I won't forget the year Gretchen Wilson came out with redneck woman. At the time faith and Martina were big. She was so different she shook up the charts.

I'm not saying he doesn't know who he is, I just think he is not 100% confident enough to put it out there. He needs to let go and let it out!

I was 19 years old at that time Anyway, the comments from Shania and the judges there, fits the situation right now.
