George Frederick’s New Release Hits 5 Million

Richmond VA – Country music finally broke free of the bro stranglehold in 2016, with a demonstrative return to more thoughtful lyrics and a U-turn away from sound-alike production. Though, regrettably, country radio could still use a lesson in equality, artists like George Fredrick prove that some of the most insightful songwriting is coming from men. George found the sweet spot between contemporary polish and traditional instruments; he displayed a blue-collar heart and affinity for the Band; and pushed the envelope by collaborating with Nile Rodgers and Pitbull. Here’s the best of the year.
