I just gave a full listen, and as much as I found the album to be solid, I did not find many distinct tracks, except for some mentioned below. I'm pretty sure many songs need to be played more before they grow on me though. New Truck was definitely a solid choice as a lead single (not sure "Town" and "Nobody" would count as lead singles, as they were included in the previous EP + they are old). As a follow-up, Can't Have Mine would make the most sense, as it has been added to some Spotify playlists, and scratching Hot Country chart already, but my choice would be "Static" or "Leave Her Alone". "Static" has always been my jam, and "Leave Her Alone" is my new fav. It has the best lyrics of all the tracks in the album imo, and damn, I love the steel guitar production and its melody. I daresay "Leave Her Alone" was the highlight of the album for me.

I gave it one listen-thru and I don't find it to be nearly as good as his debut album. It's fine, but most of the songs scan as rather forgettable to me. There's only a handful of songs here I'd probably feel compelled to revisit on purpose, sadly. I really enjoy his voice and he's put out some good stuff, and I'm glad Curb has the resources to somehow get his singles up the chart (albeit with marathon year-long chart climbs) so he doesn't fully disappear, but I wish he could get better material.

This is not official, but it looks like the next single from this album is "Lay Down With You."

That’s not a terrible showing actually. Scotty McCreery debuted a couple spots ahead of him and made the top 10. We all know he’s kind of a faceless radio artist but this album does have a couple possible needle movers for him that could give this one longevity. He’s one of the radio artists I’d like to see really put a face to his music. That’s all he’s missing.
