Now, I\u2019ve been a Blake fan for as long as I can remember, but this time? John ran away with it. Sorry, Blake \u2014 this kid\u2019s making legends feel their age, just ask Luke Bryan! John\u2019s voice is like velvet \u2014 smooth, rich, and dripping with that old-school soul. He doesn\u2019t just sing like Conway Twitty, he feels like him. And then, out of nowhere, I hear flashes of Vince Gill, Amy Grant, even Alan Jackson in his tone. Every note feels like a prayer that this young man finds his place in the spotlight. If there\u2019s any justice in the music world, John Foster\u2019s just getting started.<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
