Truth be told, I was expecting an album mostly estranged from country, but this is very country. I was expecting - and thus secretly wanting - this album to be sonically metamodern, but it turned out it mostly is because of its lyrical matter. After unsuccessfully attempting to understand the metamodernism wiki page, I realized I didn't know shit about all kinds of modernism and should simply try to enjoy the music. So, although it mainly derives from country, there are some notable influences that do shake things up a bit. Some gospel, folk, rock, and even some psych vibes do allow the record to offer a spiritual atmosphere that fits well with the roots aesthetic. It especially shines on closer "It Ain't All Flowers", a druggy trip through the genre's weirdest territories that, in my shitty European opinion, displays more fragility from the performer than any ballad. In these moments, the album is truly touching, but the more down-to-earth passages do not sound that different from other country records.

This album has a classic country feel to it, but it doesn't seem like it's trying to pander to that audience. It does a great job at what it does.
