In time where auto-tune & rap have found their way into country airwaves, where it's become more important for lyrics to be simplistic, making you want to drink more & think less, Jon Pardi is doing his part to bring country music back to its roots. He's here to prove that we "don't need to find a new way to say we don't go out of style."
Pardi's sophomore studio album, 'California Sunrise,' does just that. I was listening to the album one day while I was in the kitchen cooking with my mom, when she suddenly got a smile on her face. "This reminds me of the music my dad listened to. It's too bad he's not still around because you two have the same taste in music." That comment alone speaks volumes to the direction in which Jon Pardi is taking country music.
'California Sunrise' will make you want to dance around your living room & hit the town one moment and reminisce about your ex the next.
Born & raised in Texas, Maren Morris began singing & performing at an early age. At 20 she decided to stop performing, leave Texas, & move to Nashville to focus on her songwriting. She has helped write songs for other artists including Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, & Brothers Osborne.
After writing My Church, Morris decided it was time for her to get back into performing & recording her own music. Her hit single reached #5 on the US Hot Country chart, & her current single, 80s Mercedes, is climbing the charts. Her album Hero, which was released back in June, debuted at #1.
Hero is a solid album from start to finish. I have not stopped listening to it since it came out. Consisting of songs about bad relationships that you can't help but sing at the top of your lungs, & more soulful, heartfelt tracks, there's a song on there for every mood.
