Not much discussion about the new one, his best since 2006.

I'm a fan. I don't know what to say about it though!

Bold statement here: like red on a rose is the most romantic country album ever released by a man. The only comparison I can make is to like Teddy Pendergrass or maybe Maxwell. Just a deep, deep album about love.

I had never listened to like red on a rose til I saw this thread and now it’s all I can listen too. I definitely can’t think of another more romantic country album by a man off the top of my head. I especially like his voice on this one, still twangy enough to know what he’s about but doesn’t overwhelm the soft rock production. Really makes the moments when the wailing guitar arrives hit harder.

I’m so obsessed with “the firefly’s song” right now

His new album is pretty good! First since 2015? It sounds straight out of, well ... I dunno, he's pretty timeless.
