"Bro-country" is a term that is all over country music. For some, it's a way to describe tons of songs about girls, trucks and beer. For others, it's a derogatory term to describe a limited box that is the "new" country sound. Whichever side of the coin you fall on, you can't deny that it's out there and it's a "man's world." These are the top "bro-country" artists of the summer ...

Brantley Gilbert (think "Bottoms Up")

From the song ...

Damn girl I gotta tip my hat
Never thought a country song would make you move like that yeah
And she's doing it in daisy dukes
Girl she's got ya tappin on a boys shoulder
Hey dog check this out
And that's how girl do it in the dirty south yeah

Chase Rice (think "Ready Set Roll")

From the song ...

Damn pretty girl you went done it again
You've gone and turned your sexy all the way up to 10
I've never seen a side ride seat looking so hot
Baby, you rock, hit the spot like a fireball shot
You've got me all high, head spinning around and around
I'm down if you're down to burn down this town

Florida Georgia Line (think "Cruise")

From the song ...

She was sippin' on Southern and singin' Marshall Tucker
We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer
She hopped right up into the cab of my truck and said,
"Fire it up, let's go get this thing stuck."

Jake Owen (think "Days of Gold")

From the song ...

Well it's a Southern summer
Whiskey's in the air, dog's on the burner
Beer's ice cold, got a pretty little lady to hold
Southern summer
And that sun shining down like Daddy's silver dollar
Gotta hop on the old dirt road to the days of gold

Thomas Rhett (think "Get Me Some of That")

From the song ...

Yeah girl, been diggin' on you
Sippin' on drink number two
Tryin' to come up with somethin' smooth
And waitin' on the right time to make my move
But I just can't wait no more
Can't let you slip out that door
Prettiest thing I ever seen before
Got me spinnin' around, I ain't even on the dance floor
