Review

Well, if you're anything like me and your heart has a special place for the twangs and tales of traditional country, then Ernest's new album "Nashville, Tennessee" might just be your new cup of sweet tea. Spanning a mighty 26 tracks, this album is a hat tip to the days of bluegrass and Western Swing, packed with enough steel guitars and fiddles to make any old soul smile. This record isn't shy about stickin' to its roots, and that's clear from the get-go.

Tracks like "You Don't Have to Die," penned alongside Chris Stapleton, and "Bars on My Heart," with Mark Holman and Nicolle Galyon, showcase Ernest's knack for crafting songs that resonate with the heartstrings. Even with the playful "Dollar To Cash," which cleverly nods to country legends, the album holds true to its traditional backbone. Sure, there's a hiccup or two with some tracks that lean a touch too much towards the modern pop-country concoction, which might ruffle the feathers of purists. And yeah, the album could've benefitted from a tighter sequence to give it a smoother ride from start to finish. But despite these rough patches, "Nashville, Tennessee" stands solid as a fine example of genuine country music. It’s a collection that not only plucks the guitar strings but also tugs at the heartstrings of traditional country aficionados. - Rex
