Thoughts

This popped up in Apple’s new releases list, possibly as the deluxe version came out, so I listened to it as new but it’s actually from 2024. Regardless, it’s a pretty good country album - Lainey has that strong Southern accent but uses it well and draws you in. There are a couple of clever tracks in there too, and some good storytelling. It’s more traditional in terms of heartbreak and alcohol but it’s also not that far away from the more pop style country artists too. A good blend and a good album.

Rating: 4 / 5
