Tyler Farr, as I have said before, is a singer/songwriter that has one of the brightest futures in Nashville. His last two singles were extremely underrated, and his current song, 'Redneck Crazy' has a certain something you just don't hear in country 'leaving' songs: the truth about how good ol' boys deal with broken hearts. Watch him and his good ol' boy buddies in the new video for 'Redneck Crazy.'

Lady Antebellum have taken a swing at several big hits over the last year.
