Wavering between the two shelves yesterday afternoon was Richard Wigzell. On the right, the shelf is stacked with CDs and cassettes of Roll With It. On the lefthand side is a shelf stacked with CDs and cassettes of Country House. In London, customers strolling into the HMV music store on Oxford Street are immediately confronted by the Blur versus Oasis battle. They give a better live show.”īack at Piccadilly, 17-year-old Daniel Halstead, wearing an ageing Stone Roses T-shirt and an air of impartiality, admitted buying both CDs. “I’ll probably wait till the Blur album comes out. “I couldn’t decide which to buy,” she said.
Joanne Chalmers, aged 19, from Chester, emerged from the shop into the squalour of Market Street without making a purchase. They’re a bit deep and heavy - too serious for me.” “I definitely prefer Blur,” said Paul Dakin as he lurked before the rivals’ CD and tape racks at Virgin. Round the corner at the Virgin store, the tally was 300 Oasis to 250 Blur.īut this did not match the view of the people on the streets. This view seems to be born out by record sales: 75 to Oasis, 25 to Blur at Piccadilly. They write good songs - but you don’t feel they mean it.” “Blur plunder the past, too, but they do it with an irony and a cleverness which I don’t like. But they make their own exciting rock and roll. “Oasis plagiarise from the great names - the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, the Who. He paid Blur some gracious compliments but his loyalties soon became obvious. He dismissed Manchester’s alleged chauvinism about Oasis as merely a mirage in a PR person’s mind.
Andrew McQueen, assistant at Piccadilly Records, tried to give an objective assessment. In Manchester, home of Oasis, one of the city’s leading music stores was buzzing with debate about the Blur Oasis head-to-head. There is nothing extraordinary about the song, but that’s alright.įor the casual fans that are just looking for a steering wheel tapping song this summer, Roll With It will serve as the perfect 3-minute escape.Īnd for the fans that are looking for the next incarnation of George Strait, Corbin is definitely on the right track to putting out consistently enjoyable singles every 3 months.Early indications suggest that Oasis’s Roll With It is edging ahead of Blur’s Country House in sales, so the Guardian conducted its own survey of the music critics who really matter - the fans. And for that reason I can see this song becoming another top five hit for Corbin.
The song should fit perfectly for those types of situations throughout the summer of 2010. It’s a fun groovy song that makes you want to break out the grill, call your buddies and toss a few horseshoes around the backyard all afternoon. Those are both wonderful artists to be compared to.Ĭorbin puts a nice little groove on most of his tracks on his debut album and Roll With It is no different. If you didn’t know who Easton Corbin was (and there probably are still a few country music fans that don’t), you may still mistake this vocalist for George Strait or even Joe Nichols or Daryl Worley. It’s a catchy little tune in the same groove and vibe as A Little More Country Than That. The second single release is Roll With It. Today, Corbin’s debut album has hit the charts and his record company is looking to repeat the success of the first single with what they hope will be two or three more singles that will get fans to go out and push the album to gold or even platinum – a major feat for a debut artist. Now, being compared to a legend is never a bad thing and I’m sure Corbin was fine with the comparison. When fans first began hearing A Little More Country Than That on the radio, it was thought to be the latest George Strait song. The song shot straight to #1 and took the country music newcomer to status as a legit country artist. Easton Corbin broke out with his first single release, A Little More Country Than That.
