Tyler Farr's song "Redneck Crazy" reminds us of a male version of Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats." Both songs are from the perspective of someone dealing with betrayal.

But while Carrie's song is a female anthem of empowerment, Tyler's is mostly bringing men to tears - a reaction that is surprising to him.

"Some people said they've cried, like it hits 'em right there, and not in a million years would I have ever thought a song called 'Redneck Crazy' would make you cry," says Tyler.

Tyler also says he'll take sad or glad or whatever moves people. "However it affects somebody, that's my job is to reach in and tug on the heartstrings of people or make 'em laugh or make 'em feel something," he adds. "If we're making 'em feel something, we're doin' our job."

"Redneck Crazy" is the title track of Tyler's debut album, due to drop on September 30.

Is there a song that always makes you cry, but you're pretty sure it doesn't affect other people the same way? Let us know in the comments below.
