Watched the Academy of Country Music Awards last night and, again, couldn't help but notice how many truly HOT country singers there are -- and they don't mind showing what they've got in a pair of tight, faded jeans. Faves: Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw (whose oh-so-hot perfect chest was covered by a white t-shirt but still had on a nice pair of form-fitting jeans.) I don't especially like country music but can't take my eyes off these guys when they're on TV.

Brad Paisley is quite the looker as well!

Clay Walker, Chris Cagle, the guy in Trick Pony, it just goes on and on. . .

I want to be the bartender in Clay Walker's latest video--and what's with the half-open jeans?

Chris Cagle is a good choice. In MT I used to get CMT and GAC channels on cable, but my current provider in L.A. doesn't offer them. :mad:

Does that really surprise you stingy?

I think the whole MT thing was covered in another thread, but hey carry on man.

Ira? Ha ha just kidding. The hot guy in Trick Pony is Keith burns. Go their website & check out the video for "On A Mission" He has his shirt unbuttoned througout the video.

And Clay Walker's unbuttoned jeans in the "I Cna't Sleep" video. How about when he's sitting on the bed, jeans half unbuttoned, and then he leans back on the bed. Wow. Sexiset thing I've seen in videos in a long time. Last year I saw him in concert and I was about 20 feet from him and I ended up getting one of his picks. I am in love with the man.

I agree with all! Clint Black is cute, although his younger, less famous brother is AMAZING! He used to perform at local bars in Houston, including the BRB, but he was not gay...darn it.
Also, Shania's bass player has got GUNS FOR DAYS! I got front row seats for her South Florida show, so I'll be scoping him out!

Check a movie called "Cowboy Up" - some guy named Marcus Thomas in tight jeans you won't believe. a decent movie featuring Keifer Sutherland, Melinda Dillon, Molly Ringwald, and a lot of hot cowboys.

Are Clay Walker's pants open because he was just. . .? Well, never mind. He has that strange but oh so magnetic mix of innocence and sexuality.

And then there's Gary Allan and Darryl(dumb song) Worley.

It's hard to decide who looked best last night, but I think I'm going to go with Troy Gentry, from Montgomery Gentry. They opened the show and Troy, who must be about 6'4" or so, has never looked better than he did with his tight jeans and unbuttoned shirt, which showed off all that thick chest hair.

I like Dierks Bentley, too. I'm not usually a big fan of curly hair on a guy, but his sets him apart. When they were talking to him before the Flameworthy Awards, he happened to lift his shirt and you could see the waistband of his white briefs sticking out of his jeans. His stomach looked so flat.

MiamiSpartan mentioned Shania's bass player. Do you mean Cory Churko, the dark-haired guy who plays different instruments? There are some nice pics of him on his website (corychurko.com). She has several hot guys in her band, but he always stood out.

I also agree about Keith Burns from Trick Pony. He seems like he would have some chest hair, too, but looks like he shaves it. And whose jeans were tighest? Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, or Brad Paisley?

Too bad Toby Keith swept the awards show.

No. Although he's cute, too. This one has shorter hair and big biceps. (Me likes 'em beefy!)

I'll second skjpm's assessment of Gary Allen--who has the added plus of making some good, old-fashioned c&w--and add Rodney Crowell (an oldie but a goodie) the extremely talented Vince Gill and Keith Urban.

Keith Urban has a great shirtless video ("Raining on Sunday...) ... another hottie, in a totally different way, is Trace Adkins ("One Hot Mama). Radiates sex .. come-hither eyes with a rugged man's body.

Thanx for this thread!! I'm sort of a fair waether country music fan, but I have to say those country boys can cream my coffee anytime. Especially: Chris Cagle, Gary Allan, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Tracy Byrd, Tim MacGraw, Clay Walker and those filled to the brim Wranglers on Garth Brooks!!! RRRRRRRRRR!! CMT and GAC are frequent stops on my channel surfing trips!

Billy Currington and Steve Azar. Billy worked as a personal trainer in Nashville before getting noticed.

I saw Steve Azar in concert, and met him backstage.

Both are in great shape, and quite good-looking.

Chris Cagle is a favorite. Joe Nichols. Montgomery Gentry look really good. Don't they look like hunks from a leather bar? John Michael Montgomery is so hung- when he is in an old pair of jeans that bulge is so obvious and awesome.

I dont care for Kenney Chesney. He does'nt do it for me. Blondie Keith Urban from Australia is good looking. Chesney probably would be running around shirtless in the grocery store if he wasn't a country superstar.

Brad Paisley, Brad Paisley, ohmygosh, Brad Paisley! I have had a big crush on Clay Walker for 10 years! And, oh my, two fiddle players. One is Kenny Chesney's and the other is the tall dark-haired dude in Keith Urban's band...WOW! He is hot! I also got somethin' for Mr. Gary Allen.

Well, I like all of them. Even the guys in groups are hot! Tight wranglers and cowboy boots get me going. I guess it started with Glenn Campbell, then Randy Travis, then George Strait, then Garth Brooks, then Gary Allen and John M Montgumery. The bass player in Diamond Rio is my type fore sure. The new hottie Chris Cagel have that rugged regular guy hottness about him.

Y'all do know that Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry is the younger (I think) of John Michael Mntgomery?


Seems incredible sexuality runs in the family

It seems like there are a dozen hot country stars for every hot rock musician.

My favorite country guys (in no particular order):

Clint Black
Gary Allan
Chris Cagle
Tim McGraw
Kenny Chesney
Montgomery Gentry (both of 'em)
Josh Turner
Keith Burns of Trick Pony, whose name I didn't know until this thread began.
Brad Paisley

Garth Brooks just doesn't do it for me — never has, never will.

...and how could I forget Aaron Tippin??? Talk about the right to bear arms!!!!

I forgot to add Mark Wills to my list. Love that dark hair and goatee. He looks as if he's been spending some time in the gym lately, too (not that I minded the older, slightly chubbier version of him!) wink

I love Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. I met Tim McGraw and got his autograph about 4 years ago when I worked for Budweiser. He is sponsored by Bud Light and the Bud Light Brand Manager (who was family) pulled some strings for me and got my partner and I concert tickets and backstage passes. That was when the Dixie Chicks were opening for him. That was the most awesome concert I have ever been to in my life and I have been to two Bruce Springsteen concerts!!! (sorry Bruce fans) I have often wondered about ole Kenny. Hmmmm wink The last time I saw him it looks like he had been working out and was buffed up. He is pretty H-O-T too!! Kenny and Tim live right across the street from each other just outside of Nashville. Very nice houses and neighborhood. I sent them both Christmas cards and yet I don't believe I am a stalker what so ever. Ha!!

You are sooooo right about that! Aaron has very nice arms. I could see him riding a Harley wearing jeans, boots and a tight muscle shirt.

It is sickening when so many in the country music industry link their music with war and patriotism just to make a buck. Toby Keith appalls me. His attack on the Dixie Chicks was outrageous. The Dixie Chicks have more talent than he will ever know.

I know people who paid no attention to the Dixie chicks until Toby Keith attacked them. Now these folks are Dixie chick fanatics.

There is a New York gay country music club called THE LONG ISLAND WRANGLERS. Does anyone know anything about it?

Well said Sergei. TK is a big blowhard (no pun intended :cool: ) , far from being a country singer of any significance in the long run.

Its been a few years....all I remember is Faith Hill was playing some big multi-guest concert @ Rice Stadium in Houston...but...

The next morning I caught a Continental Flight to Nashville for business and sat right next to Tim McGraw for the flight. I honestly didn't even really look twice at him when he sat down, I just sorta smiled (to acknowledge) him and that was about it. He DID NOT look anything like his photographs....he was dressed in a Faith Hill t-shirt, LOOSE baggy jeans, baseball cap and shoes, like Bass slip ons.. He had a small brief-case too.

I didn't even realize it was him until the flight attendant came up and started chit-chatting with him...about the concert the night before. I heard him say he had come to Houston to see his wife, but she was staying in town for another night. He was very polite to the flight attendant.

I got all sweaty once I realized who he was, but I still didn't say a word to him....I glued my head to the window and just watched outside while we were still on the ground. The flight attendant came over and asked us what we wanted to drink. I looked over and he made a waving gesture to me like "you first", so I order my Diet Coke and turned back and looked out the window. I don't remember what he ordered but I think it was a DC too. When she brought us our drinks, she reached over to hand it to me and he took it and handed it to me, I said "thanks" and he gave me a napkin and put it on my knee and that was the all the interaction I had with him.

I got a little taste of how annoying it must be to be a "Star". The poor guy was hassled by everyone and their brother before the "seatbelt" sign came on....and then an older couple sitting across from us would NOT stop talking to him....the woman just kept droning on and on....

He was polite to everyone and even signed some autographs, etc....once the flight took off, people pretty much let him be, except for the lady across the aisle. He finally pulled a magazine out and started attempting to "read" it to get her off his back, but she just kept it up. Once breakfast was served, she quieted down.

When the plane landed, he nodded my way as to say...."have a good one" and that was it.

What really surprised me was I saw him again down in baggage claim. He was all alone waiting for his luggage like everyone else....no entourage or security or anything. A few people went up to him and he signed autographs, but for the most part, he just waited for his luggage, picked it up and walked out of the terminal like everyone else.

I never really cared for his music, but he really struck me as pretty down to earth and nice to his fans....it struck me just how capable the "Star Machine" can be, because he really wasn't anything special in the looks/body department...he appeared just an average guy that most people wouldn't look twice at.

NJ

Here's a question about Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. I know that the two of them shared a long tour a couple of years back and the rumor (stressing that it's just a rumor) I heard is that Chesney sang one song sitting on McGraw's lap. I'm not enough of fan of either of them to go to one of their concerts (rather see Emmylou Harris, Travis Tritt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, or Dwight Yoakum anyday) but did Chesney actually sing while sitting on McGraw's lap??

~Adam

Well he could probably fit...he's like three feet tall.

NJ

How can I forget cutie Lance Smith! Although he's not a singer, he does host CMT's Top 20 Countdown. I just get all warm & fuzzy when Lance introduces a Clay Walker video.

And I thought the photo was Kenny Chesney sitting in Peyton Manning's lap :confused:

I always wonder about a guy if, after he becomes famous, he marries his manager (Randy Travis) or a hot supermodel (Clint Black). Someone in their PR team is covering up something.

When I lived in Asheville, North Carolina my partner and I went to a lot of the PFLAG meetings with his Mother. They also had a group called C.L.O.S.E.R. which met every week for lesbians and gays. There was a guy there that said he had dated Randy Travis for about 3 years. Of course we said yeah right... sure you did. Well, when he had a covered dish dinner at his house some weeks later he showed us all his photo albums and tons of country singers he was friends with when he lived in Nashville. Right there in the albums were photos of him and Randy and they were not your typical fan photos. They were very believable as more than "just friends" photos. So, you know that marrying your manager that is old enough to be your Mother must be some attempt to cover-up something. Makes you wonder just how many celebrites go through this every day. Once the "star" earns more money than God you would think they would have some freedom to come out and tell their fan base this is who I am.

There was some concert footage I saw where Kenny runs across the stage and jumps into the arms of Tim and wraps his legs around Tim's waist. Is that what you are referring to? They stayed embraced for what seemed like a very long time. Of course that does not mean they are gay. They just have been really good friends most of their lives. You can see in Kenny's face that he thinks the world of Tim.

There was a documentary type show about Kenny Chesney and there was this big scene where his tour bus stopped at a Waffle House and they had a blast. There were tons of people there and they even let Kenny back in the kitchen to cook. There was this woman that kept flashing Kenny and he kept telling her to stop. She actually became very annoying with it. She was very cute too but Kenny seemed to be very embarrassed each time she flashed him.

Well I also think alot of "it" is wishful thinking on our part...not every good looking entertainer is gay....

I don't believe for a minute that Clint Black or Tim McGraw are gay....I've heard the rumors about Randy Travis...his star no longer shines that bright...in fact he is a regular on alot of those "Christian TV Evangelist" shows...which to me, only feeds the rumor. LOL

I can't remember the name of the guy....he was either from Oklahoma or Texas...but he was a fairly popular C&W singer that was caught somewhere here in Texas beating off in a rest stop bathroom....after it happened, he immediately got married and started talking about "Jesus"....can't recall his name.

Kenny Chesney is an apparent Momma's Boy who was fat as a kid...I don't know about him...I get the impression he is probably a bit more sophisticated (as is Tim McGraw) then his core fan base...so perhaps gay-friendly.

Problem for male stars is if they appear gay friendly....the gay community starts rumors that they're actually gay.... :confused:

NJ

Most of the time when Tim is not on stage he wears a baseball cap, jeans and t-shirt. I bet most people could walk right by him and not even recognize him. His stage appearance is very different.

Ty Herndon.

And Clint Black is married to actress Lisa Hartman.

And an awful one at that...

NJ

Regarding Ty Herndon: he has a home in West Hollywood--nextdoor neighbor to a good friend of mine--and has joined in many community benefits and local events (singing at Xmas tree lighting and participated in AIDS fundraisers.)

~Adam

Everything I have read about him says he insists he isn't gay....etc...

"Spreading the Word

Fans can also look forward to seeing Ty Herndon this year. Herndon is no newcomer to country music. He has three albums, two No. 1 singles, and a multitude of accolades, inluding being named Best New Artist at the 1995 Country Radio Music Awards.

Though Herndon has experienced many blessings, his life hasn’t always been perfect. But like Berry, and members of Sawyer Brown, Ty Herndon’s faith in God has enabled him to overcome personal tragedy to find triumph.

Raised in Alabama, Herndon developed his vocal abilities singing southern gospel at church meetings and camps. Later he landed a job at Opryland in Nashville and attended college at Belmont University until his scholarship ran out. Then he supported himself singing jingles for American Airlines and Pepsi. However, he never got his break in music until he moved to Dallas and started playing honky-tonks. It was there that Herndon first began to gain national attention as a singer. In 1995 he debuted with What Mattered Most, which went gold and produced a No. 1 single.

But it was also in 1995 that Herndon found himself facing the worst time in his life. He was arrested for possession of speed and spent five weeks in rehab. It was an experience he says that helped him become a more spiritual person and somewhat of a “soldier.”

Now Herndon uses his own life experiences to inspire others who are going through similar problems. In fact, Herndon is one of seven major country artists, including Charlie Daniels and Ricky Skaggs, who volunteered to work with the American Bible Society (ABS) by telling others about the importance of the Bible in their lives. Herndon’s own story was one in a series of public service announcements distributed to 500 radio stations across the United States."

Notice how something else was left out of the arrest story?

Another funny article about the metrosexing of some major C&W stars.

Has anyone seen Kenny Chesney without a hat or cap of some sort on lately? How about Tim McGraw? No, I didn't think so. Whatcha hidin', boys?

Thanks, NJ, for the metrosexualization (is that even a word?) article. Too funny. And true.

Joe Nichols? Call me!

Well we made it one! LOL

Both Tim and Kenny are wearing some male patterned baldness under those cowboy hats... wink

NJ

Prior to the buff bod reimaging, Kenny showed his balding head and not-so buff body in videos. I think the last video where we see Kenny sans hat is his "How Forever Feels" video. He's also shirtless and unshaved in the video so you can tell this was done prior to his metrosexualization (I like that word!)

Has anyone listened to out country singer Matt Alber?
Matt Alber

He was a contestant on this year's Star Search and he was supposed to be a contestant on "American Pride" which was supposed to be a show that searched for America's First Openly Gay Superstar. Not sure what happened to the show. American Pride

HE's kind of cute. Haven't heard him sing. But I kinda like Christian Kane! I'm sure some people will recognize him as Lindsay from Angel.

Here's where to find more info:

http://www.kanemusic.com/

Thanks for the info on the follically impaired, NJ. I'd figured as much. I guess it's like when baseball players take off their caps or helmets and I find myself surprised that the tide of their hairline is all the way out to the horizon. Permanently. Not that I care, really, or find them any less attractive; it just makes me go, 'huh.'

The other little tibit about Ty's arrest(which was a few years ago) was that he was in Ft. Worth, Texas to sing at a Law Enforcement Convention. I believe he was married at the time of his arrest.

From what I remember, Ty placed the source of his behavior to the drugs. So, I guess it was "beyond his control"... mmmmmm

When he made his video "Steam"..the gaydar went off the wall. The style of the video just seemed to screamed "family". The focus of the sexuality was all about Ty. One of his other videos involving a failing relationship also seem to promote him as a hetrosexual sensual lover. If I remember that video correctly, the director showed more skin off Ty than they did of the woman.

I haven't heard too much from Ty on a professional basis lately. I think he released a song about year or so ago. Wonder if he is still married?
