I love this guy, well I should say the whole group, but when I get in my car I take out my country cd that may be in there and search for the white cd with a black bat on it. I have only enjoyed country music since 1997 and prefer to listen only to that over any other. My husband would put this cd in while we were both in the car driving somewhere for a good 2-3 yrs when I finally vocalized my interest in who this band is and more important to me was the guy singing. I don't know who the main writer is for the band but I hope it's the singer. I feel his songs but I would get frustrated when I can't make out certain words in the song cuz it reads on paper like a poem or story no bullshit. Anyways, that's my cd now and can't wait to read dear god, lost, unbound etc. I can't believe how much I like this band. It's country and avenged sevenfold for me.
