Well, if you're going to replace a 16 year vet, why not with a bonafide country music recording artist!

Yeehaw. I just hope he doesn't sing it with that fake country yodel voice that new-country singers tend to have.

I'm not too optimistic that this will be the case, but hopefully he sings our national anthem "straight" (like Heather did) and not with a country twang. I hate when artists do that.

Not big on country music, but that is pretty freaking awesome. Hope he nails it.
Listening to the Chicago anthems last night really made it hit home the affect a booming male can have.

I don't know much about Canyon, but after seeing a couple music videos, he's just got a deep singing voice, not much in the 'twang department. Kind of like Brandt. So thats a good thing.

Wow I'm actually surprised that he would commit to this given the touring schedule artists of that caliber usually keep up. I think he'll have a good voice for it. I recorded one of his recent albums and he's legitimately talented and a very humble guy. His voice 'off the floor' with the band (not processed) sounded great which is not always the case.

George Canyon is one of the funniest people I've ever met. He should skip the anthem and tell jokes instead

Chicago's, Boston's, and Ottawa's anthem singers are males, and they're good.
