I'm so impressed with this guy. He wrote "Cop Car," now made famous by Keith Urban. Also, he looks like this: Just saying. ;)

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. ----------------------------------- For concert tickets info, visit http://www.yourticketgenie.com.

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.

This has sold 810,000 albums.
Expect a Platinum RIAA album certification in early 2016.

^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.
