The People's Take
Amazing (5 Stars) – Justin Moore is following really close on the spirit of Eric Church with his candid sound and lyrics. We can look forward to some pretty high expectations with this guy!

My Take
Once in a great while, an artist releases a song that that grabs you deep in the comfortable warmth of your cockles and won't let go, no matter how you struggle against its hairy, intrusive hands. A song that embraces all you hold essential to your being in an invigorating and fresh way that makes you look at life and its little details in a new and appreciative light. A song that voices all the thoughts and memories in the recesses of your most sentimental moments. A song that takes the everyday and paints it as the eternal. A song that reverberates across time with newness and raw art. Just a few times in your life, you are graced with a song that etches itself into the cold stone of your black granite heart and weaves itself into the fiber of your soccer mom or Nascar dad life and you are forever changed by the simple power of words and music. This isn't that song.
An aside to the snarky-ness: Yes! Another 8 on The Checklist!

ReplyDeleteI love your alternative title. Someone should actually write a song for it.
ReplyDeleteDespite my disparaging review, this song frequently gets stuck in my head for some reason.
