Jason Eady and Courtney Patton are at Knuckleheads tonight

With his 2012 full-length AM Country Heaven, it seemed that Jason Eady was single-handedly trying to save Top 40 country music from itself. In the album’s title track, the Mississippi-born Texas transplant took on all the clichés of what most people think of as “modern country” and blasted them with the good-old-cowboy wisdom so treasured by Waylon and Willie.

On January 21, Eady released Daylight and Dark, which is a little less confrontational and a little more introspective. It’s a little too early to tell where he stands now in the FM country music takedown, but his show at Knuckleheads could shed some light. Courtney Patton is a fellow Texan, and she shares Eady’s ability to make new country music that is just as easy on the ears as the stuff it was inspired by.
