Well that's a nice surprise! Cool that Spotify is doing a pre-stream. I'll have to check it out later tonight.
I'm wondering if anything has changed on this version of "Tell Me You Get Lonely". I've absolutely loved that song since it was first released, so it would be neat to hear a new version with different production or something. I'd also love to see it get rereleased since "Helluva" is doing well for him now :)

How's the album? I haven't had time to sit back and check it out. Love TMYGL and am obsessed with HL, so I'm hopeful for the album!

I listened to it once and nothing really stood out for me. I was actually kinda disappointed. I'll give it another listen.

I absolutely LOVE this album! Several uptempo tunes and some cool guitars riffs on an album that stays within the boundaries of country. I know it's early in 2014, but this is one that'll make my year-end top 10 list.
Several potential singles as well... "Young & Crazy", "Sunshine & Whiskey", "Sober Me Up", "I'm Thinking Country", "It Don't Take Much", and "Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinkin'" are all immediate standouts and potential future singles. I'm not a huge fan of "Drinky Drink", which most likely means it will be released at some point. ;)

I have to agree, I actually think this is one of the better albums to be released as of late. I hear a few hits and a lot of worthwhile album tracks.

I just listened to this, and I really like it. With the right singles chosen, I think he can put together a decent string of hits. Besides the singles, I really like "Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinking" (if radio would bite, I'd love to see it as a single), "Young & Crazy", "Sober Me Up" and "Tip Jar".

I think it's safe to say radio wouldn't bite on Don't Tell Mama, at least not in the bro-centric climate forced upon right now. I love that he put it on the album though. Gary Allan's version is just fabulous (steel guitar at its absolute finest), but Frankie does the song justice for sure. Kudos to him for digging such a random song out of the vault. |
