Review
There's a certain magic that unfolds when you press play on Billy Currington's "Summer Forever." It's like the sun itself has been captured in musical form, radiating warmth and positivity right through your speakers. Released in 2015, this album is a testament to Currington's artistry, with hits like "Don't It" and "It Don't Hurt Like It Used To" climbing to the peak of the charts and nestling there, as if they were meant to be the soundtrack of our sunniest days. The title track, a collaborative effort with the talented trio of Cole Swindell, Brian Kelley, and Tyler Hubbard, is a standout, infusing the album with an irresistible charm that's hard to ignore.
Working alongside the seasoned producer Dann Huff, Currington has woven a tapestry of sound that's both infectious and heartfelt. The album's not just about the high-energy tracks; it also slows down for tender moments, like the duet "Good Night" with Jessie James, which adds a layer of depth to the overall experience. "Summer Forever" isn't just music; it's a vessel for memories waiting to happen, each song a friend ready to accompany you on long drives with the windows down or on lazy afternoons by the lake. It's an album that encapsulates the lightheartedness of the season while reminding us that sometimes, the best stories are told through the simple joy of a song. - Brenda
