IRONTON – Reid Carrico isn’t much of a rap fan.
Music isn’t about the beat for him. He rarely pays attention to that part of a song. It’s all about the lyrics.
He listens to a lot of rock — from the 70's all the way to now — and a bunch of old country. Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd.
“All those guys are my people, man,” Carrico says.
So are Alice in Chains, Shinedown and Metallica, and if he had to pick his last-set song – the one he listens to when he’s putting up his final reps during a weight room workout – it would be “Mother” by Danzig.
