People Magazine‘s Country Issue hits stands this Friday. The cover story is on one of our favorite subjects- country music’s hottest men! You don’t have to wait until Friday to see the list because they revealed their list of “Hottest Country Guys” a bit early.
Here’s the list in alphabetical order:
1. Trace Adkins, the Roughneck
2. Dierks Bentley, the Free Spirit
3. Luke Bryan, the Smooth Talker
4. Kenny Chesney, the Heartbreaker
5. Jack Ingram, the Marathon Man
6. Tim McGraw, the Great Romantic
7. Jake Owen, the Catch
8. Brad Paisley, the Charmer
9. Blake Shelton, the Joker
10. Josh Turner, the Family Man
11. Keith Urban, the Heartthrob
12. Chuck Wicks, the Leading Man
We have to agree with one of our favorite bloggers, Alison, over at CMT. She says, All I know is, if I was in charge, the “Country’s Hottest Guys” issue would be about an inch thick.” We couldn’t have put it better!
We definitely agree with a lot of their choices though- Luke Bryan as the “Smooth Talker”, Blake Shelton as “The Joker”, Dierks Bentley as “The Free Spirit,” but think that the list could go on and on!
How about you? Do you see any of your favorite men missing from the list?
