Musically Declined: Kyle Petty, The Other Guy



Kyle Petty—racer, philanthropist, commentator, and musician!  Kyle’s musical exploits have been going on since the 80’s, but just how good are they?  Let’s take a look back at the songs of Nascar’s favorite long-haired scion.


The Song: The Other Guy


The Star: Kyle Petty

The Review: Its a decent enough song that matches Kyle’s voice well enough.  Too bad the rhythm sounds like a knockoff of “I Can Help” (covered earlier by Darrell Waltrip!).  And if Kyle was trying to be a serious musician (remember, RCA was going to release his album) why was he recording 2:38 songs?  Kyle Petty’s a lot of things, but he is DEFINITELY not punk.


The Verdict: An OK song if you ignore how much of a ripoff it sounds like.
