Talking About: Sam Hunt's Newest Song, "Body Like A Backroad"

Alright, as someone who has often felt he's been unfair to Sam Hunt, everything he's done so far this year has made me re-think that.

Sure, his past album Montevallo had some creepy writing, and the production on pretty much every song off of that record was WAY too stiff for its own good, but I wanted to see if Sam could do better. Hell, he's proven he can be an alright writer when he wants to be (like Old Dominion), and it's not like I WANT to rip this guy apart anymore.

But Dear Lord, if his new songs are any indication of how the rest of his new material will sound, country music is seriously fucked.

Talking About: Easton Corbin's New Single, "A Girl Like You"

So the early stages of this blog are an interesting time for me. After all, this is the time where I talk about artists for the first time and really share my feelings on them as a whole. For Easton Corbin, I'm in the same boat as many people are.

Easton started off strong with his debut album in 2010, and his follow-up wasn't necessarily bad either. Both were laced some very enjoyable, albeit non-groundbreaking neo-traditional country music. His last album, 2015's About To Get Real failed to win me over due to its very vanilla production overall as well as the embrace of bro-country lyricism. It's not even that I don't like certain brands of bro-country, it just didn't suit Easton at all.
