Shoulda Been a Hit: Bradley Gaskin’s “Mr. Bartender” [Video]
It's about that time again. When Dave Spencer, Jaclyn and I look back over the last 12 months and choose our favorite songs of the year. In 2011, #9 on my list was Bradley Gaskin's country throwback, "Mr. Bartender." It seems to me that country music fans long (and, at the time, were longing) for that brand of "old-school" country. We hear it all the time here on WBKR. Our listeners tell us that country "just ain't country" anymore. But THIS song was pure country and I thought for sure it was going to be a hit. Instead, it was a biscuit without a lick of gravy.
