He also keeps sentimental classics like "God Bless The Boy (Cori’s Song)" from becoming too saccharine while swaggering through open-road anthems without succumbing to empty braggadocio.
From start to finish, this red dirt classic rocks our heartland sensibilities - all thanks to Johnson's unfussy yet confident execution that breathes life into each song!

From the Album - Growin' Up
Luke Combs is continuing to reign as one of country music's biggest stars this decade, and his third album Growin' Up hasn't deviated from the classics that made him a star.
His signature gravelly growl serves as an anchor for traditionalist values reminiscent of 90s country which have been showcased on his previously two albums.
However, what sets Growin' Up apart from past releases has nothing to do with Eric Church’s cameo - it’s all about Luke operating at larger scale; he even recruited Miranda Lambert who adds her own flavor into the mix!
So, get ready for some nostalgia-packed tunes straight outta Nashville – trust us when we say you don't wanna miss this one.

While borrowing elements from Eric Church in both the lyrical stylings on tracks such as co-written “Quittin’ Time” and even album art reminiscent of Mr. Misunderstood, one thing is certain - this double LP truly captures all facets of what it means be country music in 2022!

Ingrid Andress presents a new album Good Person that is full of emotional nuance and heart-wrenching lyricism. In the single “Yearbook,” we get an honest glimpse into her parents relationship after years apart; they are still together yet far from in love like before.
This breakup theme resonates along all music within the first half with tracks such as "No Choice"and "Seeing Someone Else", which highlights how age can bring different life perspectives leading to separation despite once being so close.
