Comments

History section is a little less history and more about Texassee formation. Would you consider a heading change or merge into career

Changed.

with whom previously recorded in the rock band Giant Grammar

Fixed.

"Slick" is mentioned a few times as being something negative. Is this a country thing?

I usually see it as a critical term indicating a mechanical, processed sound.

For this album, the band sought a new producer to replace Huff. Why did the have to replace Huff?

Added a source explaining the change in producers.

The career section falls away badly towards the end. The Party Heard Around the World, Life As We Know It and Never Enders has no critical commentary and the last section is very proselineish.
McDonald previously competed on an identical week that aired in February 2003, where his winnings were donated to Habitat for Humanity Not sure what this means?

Copy edited.

Seems to be missing a bit of info. Most bands seem to have sections on Style, influences and legacies. Is there as reason not to include one here?
The band's first two albums were defined by honky-tonk and neotraditionalist country influences, but subsequent albums largely drew from country pop. is in the lead, but not in the body. Would fit in a styles section if expanded upon.

Added a section describing the musical styles, also verifying the info in the lead.

A few deadlinks to resolve [1]

Resolved some with Wayback Machine, resolved the rest with alternate citations.

No copyvio concerns [2]
Images seem fine
