Ridiculous that this debuts nearly 6 months later.

This is by far his weakest single but I’m happy to see him chart because I’ve enjoyed his last two singles a lot.

I'm a little bit surprised by the overall negative reaction to this one so far. I haven't paid any attention to Tim Dugger before, so this is the first time I can say I have actively listened to him, and I'm actually kinda impressed with this! Sonically, this is the type of country that feels like a natural progression of the '90s and '00s. And thematically, while this is just another drinking song, it is also quite a bit more clever than most. He's drinking and wallowing in his misery after a breakup, before all of a sudden his entrepreneurial side kicks in and he decides "if I'm going to be drinking too much, I may as well buy the bar so I can make some money off of everyone else's misery while I'm here!!" It's humorous and cute, compared to "Party Mode Version 96.3" or whatever all the other young male country artists are giving us these days.
So yeah, I like that Tim Dugger actually sounds like he wants to be a country artist! And I think this one is a nice average country song (which tbh makes it above-average for modern radio's standards!)

This song is kinda catchy, and could grow on me. I like some of his other songs, so would not mind him finding a decent success with this tune. Is this his debut on the mainstream Billboard chart, or did he chart back in the early 2010s when he sent his debut single?
Also, this is not my first encounter with this "buying a bar" idea, as I like this older execution of Buy A Bar idea better back when it was released.

I believe he didn’t chart with “You’re gonna love me” or “Heart of a small town” so this would be his first. |
