"Oh, we couldn't sell that." "Hey, let's work it up. Maybe we could sneak it in as a track on a Toby Keith album, but no way they'd send it to radio."

Chris Young is busy covering the Keith Whitley zone but needs to add some Don Williams to the mix. I guess this makes Eric Church the new Waylon/Hank Jr. stand-in...

There are some songs that aren't meant to be taken seriously, and don't need to be taken seriously, and this is one of them. It has a certain self-awareness about it that makes it work. I think it could have been easily sunk if the vocal or arrangement were not up to par, but the nineties-country-style production is the perfect fit, and Corbin gives the song just the right level of gusto. He just nails it. Loved the George Jones reference, by the way. Karlie perfectly articulates the reasons why this is one of my favorite new singles in recent memory.
