the vibe i got before was that he had extreme stage fright and was flakey, but this is just blatant s***headism

I've already played the album twice today so far.

Its extremely respectable that this dude made a 34 track album in current year that never slogs, and the sequencing is perfectly done so it never feels like you're hearing several similar songs in a row.

Definitely scratches certain nostalgic itches for me too. Lots of stuff on this album sounds like things me and friends listened to a lot in grade school. Country i grew up with, obviously — but then there's bits where he sounds like several poppier singer-songwriters from the 2000s i rarely listen to nowadays.

And im not even really trying to compare him to others because dude definitely stands on his own with his songwriting and arrangements. I especially love all the upbeat tracks on this that sound like a local small town band playing a honky-tonk two step jam with great lyrics. But the ballads on the album are just as great too.

whew real its a 10/10 for me. and crazy how he also dropped a great EP, a few great singles and a great live album the same year too. historic year for a musician

its amazing that he managed to become a big success, that album is platinum and Something in the Orange (single version) cracked into the billboard top 10 even tho its a folky country song with no drums

im seeing him on his arena tour this year, hes amazing live

like Iggy Pop said, Elvis was the Cadillac of vocalists
