Sam Hunt – Southside

[K.]

I'm so impressed with this guy.





He wrote "Cop Car," now made famous by Keith Urban.

Also, he looks like this:



Just saying. ;)

[onebuffalo]

Tell Sam Hunt to keep his songs to himself and not complain when other artists (Keith Urban) does them. Pretty soon, because of Urban, Hunt will be in the money!

Is there really no thread for Montevallo? :O

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

I feel like I would like him/his music if he weren't country/country-influenced.

I was looking for one as well since I got the album and was actually suprised how much I liked it. We have it on the Country Section though, with only a few posts.

[Revelry]

I love this guy! 'Speakers' 'Raised on It' and 'Breakup in a Small Town" are my favorites off the album.

[George]

Hope to catch him on tour this summer!

Finally got around to listening to Montevallo. I'm not too big on country, but I really like this guy and he is very marketable. He might not be the "traditional" country artist, but he is better than every other "bro-country" artist. Of the album, I liked "Take Your Time", "Leave the Night On", "Single for the Summer", "Cop Car" (loved Keith's version also), and "Raised On It". He might be the artist that could help country get back on CHR. 

[Unhinged]

I'm not a big country fan either (though I do like a lot more than I realize) but this is a pretty good album. He definitely has an accessible sound. Hope to see his success continue.

[circadian]

I'm currently OBSESSED with Take Your Time. I love the spoken verses and how they transition into the sung lines. I discovered him while randomly surfing through Youtube. I'm checking his EP right now on Spotify, plus he's crazy hot too.

[mamasboy]

I too love this guy.....I've had Take Your Time in heavy rotation for a few months and it's not burning on me yet. Love the smooth tone of his voice as well - plus he seems like a very humble guy!

[someguy]

This is pretty cool

He'll actually be with Lady A on tour which include shows scheduled in the United States and Europe. Hopefully this will open a lot more doors for him.

I wonder what the next Pop single will be after "House Party"? Anyone think they'll finally try "Leave the Lights On"?

I'm not sure if "House Party" has even been officially confirmed as being a single for pop.  If it is, they should give it pop mix to give it a slightly better chance even though the song is already pretty pop.  I don't think "Leave The Night On" will be released to pop though.  Too late in the game.  Maybe "Break Up In a Small Town" though, after it peaks on country.

So, his acoustic "mixtape" titled "Between The Pines" was released on iTunes yesterday. I mean...I listened to clips from Montevallo and it was alright but this is STUNNING and apparently, there are songs that he never actually officially released. I am now a fan. This album is perfect from start to bottom.

[maine]

Between the Pines used to be free right?

Wish it still was then lol

[Hurricane Lee]

Yeah, I think I read that but, whatever, this album is worth every dollar. I want to play it every day.

[areyoureadytojump]

This has sold 810,000 albums.

Expect a Platinum RIAA album certification in early 2016.

[SHOOTER]

Certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.

[Raccoon]

What happened to him?

What happened to him?

After releasing five singles from his debut album between 2014-2016, he released the lead single to his upcoming second album. "Body Like a Back Road" hit #1 on the Hot Country Singles chart for 34 weeks, which now holds the record for the longest run, as well as peaking at #6 on the Hot 100.



His latest single "Downtown's Dead" came out in May:



Additionally, he premiered a new song this summer that's rumored to be his next single:

Watch Sam Hunt Perform New Song ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’

He'll continue touring through next year, with a couple of festivals lined up:

Stagecoach 2019 Lineup: Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Jason Aldean Lead Country Festival

California’s annual Stagecoach Festival has announced its 2019 lineup, with headliners Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt and Jason Aldean. The 13th annual fest in Indio, California, will take place April 26th through 28th at the Empire Polo Fields.

Stagecoach is one of the few country festivals whose bill consistently mixes mainstream, high-profile country stars with left-of-center roots and Americana artists, and this year’s lineup is no different. The 2019 festival includes commercial hitmakers like Kane Brown, Cole Swindell, Old Dominion and Luke Combs, alongside a variety of less traditional country festival acts, both young and old, that range from Las Vegas star Tom Jones and Poison frontman Bret Michaels to indie acts Becca Mancari, Dawn Landes and Ruby Boots.

Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Little Big Town + Alabama to Headline Country Jam 2019

The first look at the Country Jam 2019 lineup is here, and it's looking good. Little Big Town join Country Music Hall of Famers Alabama, Luke Bryan and Sam Hunt as the four headliners for the June 13-16 camping and country music party in Grand Junction, Colo.

Hunt's Country Jam appearance will be his first ever, while the others will play for the first time in more than five years. After spending 2018 on tour together, the "Body Like a Back Road" singer and Bryan will close separate days of the four-day festival, which is now in its 28th year. Little Big Town and the Randy Owen-led Alabama will headline the remaining days, with a mix of contemporary and legendary opening artists to be announced at a later date.

^I feel like after a rather typical Sam Hunt track like Downtown's Dead was relatively dead on arrival, he opted to rethink things. I really like him and his voice, and the mixture of genres he does, but the latter can also be a very tight rope to walk on.
