How the f**k ANY of these other songs got last place ranks when "Dirt Rich" exists is beyond me.....  Without a doubt the worst album opener I have EVER heard. What!? "Dirt Rich" is a JAM! |

I wasn't a huge fan of "Rum" when it was a single, but it has grown on me a LOT through the years. Stands out as a highlight from this album for me now!

Greener Pastures is a jam though.
The guitar in Down Home sounds too loud to me.
Rum being low is predictable but there are worse songs in this album that I want to be eliminated first.

"Rum" has grown on me, but it's still not a favorite. I can tolerate it, but don't particularly enjoy it. I HATED it when it was current tho, so there's that.

Evidently the unpopular opinion, but I easily think "Rum" is the best of all the singles here and it's a shame it didn't perform better at radio.

The smoke and the whiskey, ain't gonna miss me when I'm gone.
I thought that they needed me, but really they were leading me on.
It gets old waking up with your head in a vice, feeling empty as a bottle of jack.
But I finally found something worth loving, that's loving me back
You get me high, you get me stoned, it's a ride I ain't never been on.

I wish I liked this more, because of LAW, and because the bass vocals in the verses are really cool. But the melody never manages to keep my attention to the end :(

Pawn Shop has to be #4 isn't it?
Heart Shaped Locket should have been a single but that would be too many singles from an album not from the Lukes.

Wow so nice seeing Heart Shaped Locket getting this much support, I wasn't expecting it!  Also I loved this entire album and really had no idea Lee Ann Womack was on Loving Me Back when I ranked it last. 😂 |

I'm pretty surprised that "Pawn Shop" made it into the top 5. I like the song, but would have expected it out around 7 or 8 at best.

Now this is the real question - how will the top 3 shake out? Any of the top 3 would make great winners though.

"21 Summer" has grown on me SO much. I love it now.

"21 Summer" reminds me of one of the summers I spent as a college student - it's got such a pleasant melody and one of those songs that perfectly captures the summer feeling. Absolutely love this song!

Wow, THRILLED but shocked that "It Ain't My Fault" won this. It's a total jam!!! It was my favorite Bros Osborne song until "Shoot Me Straight." Also .indulgecountry lol bless your heart for trying to tank it. |

"It Ain't My Fault" is such a great country rock jam! "Stay a Little Longer" is what got me hooked on Brothers Osborne ("Rum" didn't do it for me - it's grown on me though) so that one I also love too. Not complaining about "21 Summer" not winning since "It Ain't My Fault" and "Stay a Little Longer" are also lovely songs. Thanks for hosting castleoblivion26 and looking forward to Port Saint Joe! |

I remember they accidentally uploaded whole album on Spotify while they were releasing an instant grat a month before official album release. I randomly clicked this song since it is the last song of the album, and it slaps! Great winner!

Wow, I can't believe how much hate "Heart Shaped Locket" got! That one has such an amazing, feel-good melody. I thought for sure it would be the highest album track, with no competition whatsoever! At least it did well overall... "Pawn Shop" has no business being this high. The subject matter is insanely stupid, and the melody is barely listenable. I knew I would probably be in the minority to actually hate it, but figured we would at least have enough collective sense to make it miss the top 5.... PERFECT RANKINGS FOR THE ENTIRE TOP 3!!!!! "21 Summer" took awhile to grow on me for some reason, but I do enjoy it a lot now. For some reason the melody just went in one ear and out the other the first several times I listened to this. Now it has clicked though! It absolutely belongs behind both SALL and IAMF, but it very much is one of the best songs on this album, so I am very pleased with this ranking! "Stay A Little Longer" and "It Ain't My Fault" we the only choices for the top 2 on this album, and I honestly had no idea which one would be able to beat the other! They are both so incredible. Honestly, they are my favorite two songs from their entire career, so far. I pivoted several times about which one to put at #1. Ultimately I decided the sassy lyrics and delivery of "It Ain't My Fault" gave it the edge, and it looks like for the most part we agreed on that! Thanks for hosting castleoblivion26! I'll get the Extras one to you tonight :) |

I never particularly liked "It Ain't My Fault" and radio play only made it worse and truly killed it for me.  |

Without a doubt the worst album opener I have EVER heard.
Heavy on the unless.
