Focus track is title track.

Doing my first listen now. Already off the bat, I absolutely love the title track.

[raylatch98]

I know it would be a huge risk, but I really hope they go with "Wherever You Are Tonight" to radio. That has potential to be huge.

Top 20 all genre iTunes. I'd be here for it.

Few Good Stories is a cover of a #1 song in Canada

Trying to download on iTunes and it's telling me it's currently unavailable to purchase at this time. I had no problem downloading Chris Young's new album so I have no clue what's going on.

I gave this album a listen earlier today, and I have to agree that both the title track and "Wherever You Are Tonight" are two of the stand outs. I’ve already found myself replaying those a few more times since.

[zack97]

Will agree with the consensus that the title track and "Wherever You Are Tonight" are standouts, but that one-two punch of "Top Down" and "The Way I Love You Now" is also excellent. Like pretty much all albums these days, it runs a bit too long for my personal taste, but this is a solid listen, even if a lot of the material feels familiar and doesn't stand out much.

[CoJoFan]

I thought maybe “Wherever You Are Tonight” was a cover of the Keith Whitley song from his 1995 posthumous album of the same name but it isn’t.

Not projected to make the top 20 all genre. The cutoff was 26k units for the 20th spot. So expect sales less than that. Very weird seeing how the change in music consumption is effecting all the major heavy hitters of the past decade.

And apparently Deeper Well's 2nd week will perform better than this.

So this did not happen. This album did 18k pure sales and 27k SPS first week. #5 country and #20 overall.

Left Billboard 200 chart this week. Chart run is 20-123-out.

The whole album is good but man “Top Down” is so good. It’s nothing like I’ve heard from Kenny before. I hope it’s a single at some point. The title track I also agree was a standout. His last 2 albums have been his best in years I think.
