Focus track is Hold My Halo.

Those Boots is my new fav. Watermelon Moonshine or Live Off are also good candidates for the next single.

Holy crap that cover of "What's Up" is fantastic!

I'd go with Live Off as the next single. Then Hold My Halo (this should've been the lead single imo) and finish the album with Watermelon Moonshine. Overall it was a great album I could see picking up Album Of The Year nominations in the future.

Obviously Lainey Wilson is doing good but I doubt we get more than 3 singles off the album given how long chart climbs are as "Heart Like A Truck" (which was the right call for lead single imo) is probably gonna take 40 to 50 weeks to peak and whatever is released afterwards will probably be in a similar boat.

Solid album! I absolutely love her spin on What's Up; I can see myself playing that version far more than the original in the future. Also, Hold My Halo is screaming to be a single so I'm hoping that one's next; would be fun to show off that side of her with a single.

Still need more time to let the album sit with me, but my favorite stretch is probably the middle from "Halo" to "Cost Me." That four song stretch is just winner after winner, and like SHOOTER said above, "Halo" stands out above the rest as the obvious second single imo. It's the focus track, so I could definitely see them heavily considering it, too.

The whole record is solid. Her cover of "What's Up" is very well done. "Hillbilly Hippie" and "Road Runner" are both solid songs, but they feel a bit... redundant being back-to-back to open the album as they're rather same-y. "Watermelon Moonshine" remains a favorite as well. If they go three deep, which I hope they do, that would get my vote for after "Halo."

Wildflowers and Wild Horses is 100% written for Yellowstone in mind. It sounds really cool especially from mainstream country artist.

[Darkest Hour]

Debut at #12 on Top Country Albums chart (#100 overall) with 10k SPS (4.3k pure sales and 6.6 million streams).
