Album Reviews: Easton Corbin and HARDY

 

Let's Do Country Right by Easton Corbin

This album isn't bad, but it is so 2023 Nashville it is simply not enjoyable or interesting to me.  

Explicit Language

the mockingbird & THE CROW

For me this album is a bit too much 2023 propaganda Nashville.  The song list reads like something The Onion would make up for a country album and seems like something a Russian AI bot would write on Twitter or Facebook.  

Here is a country song I asked ChatGPT to write.  It could have easily been on either of these albums and no one would have thought anything about it.  

Verse 1:

I was born and raised in the country

Where the skies are big and blue

Where we work hard and play harder

And the folks are good and true

With a guitar in my hand

And a truck that I call mine

I roam these hills, this land

And I'm proud to say I'm country all the time

Chorus:

I'm country, through and through

I've got dirt on my boots

And a heart full of truth

I'm country, that's my roots

Verse 2:

I love the smell of fresh cut hay

And the sound of a hound dog's bark

I love ridin' my horse all day

And watchin' the fireflies spark

I've got friends and family

That I cherish more than gold

And I wouldn't trade this life for anything in the world

Chorus:

I'm country, through and through

I've got dirt on my boots

And a heart full of truth

I'm country, that's my roots

Bridge:

I may not have much in this world

But what I've got is real

I've got my faith and my family

And that's all I need to feel

Chorus:

I'm country, through and through

I've got dirt on my boots

And a heart full of truth

I'm country, that's my roots

Outro:

So if you see me roamin' these hills

With a grin on my face

Just know I'm livin' life my way

In this beautiful, beautiful place.
