Before replying I did a little research and found some sources of his influences from his site's bio. (

I also found a video that probably sounds more like what would be considered as contemporary country. Judge it yourself . (

My humble conclusion... he considers himself a mainstream modern country artist while trying to get a cross-over pop hit with "Room to Breathe".
BTW my searches did produce a country artist thats a lit more to my taste... a real beer joint country artist! Give him a listen. (

Note the sign that outlines the sections of the song. Kind of cute.
