I'm excited to dive into the 2017 self-titled album by the talented American country music artist Lee Brice. This album is a wonderful collection of songs that explore themes of love, family, and hard work, showcasing Brice's ability to craft heartfelt and authentic music. The production of the album was a collaborative effort, with Brice co-producing alongside Dan Frizsell, Kyle Jacobs, Cody Labelle, and Jon Stone, resulting in a rich and varied sound. With contributions from notable guests like Warren Haynes and Edwin McCain, the album offers a unique blend of musical styles. The album's diverse tracklisting features 15 songs, each with its own distinct character.
The music on "Lee Brice" is a blend of traditional country, contemporary country-pop, and blues influences, with Brice playing multiple instruments, including guitar, mandolin, banjo, and harmonica. Songs like "Boy" and "What Keeps You Up at Night" address personal themes, while tracks like "American Nights" and "The Locals" evoke a sense of community and American life. The use of steel guitar and piano adds depth and warmth to the tracks, making for a sonically pleasing listen. Overall, "Lee Brice" is an album that showcases the artist's versatility and commitment to storytelling through music, offering a mix of emotional ballads, upbeat tracks, and songs that celebrate everyday life. The album's lead single "Boy" was well-received by country music fans, and the album as a whole is a solid addition to Brice's discography. - Ellis
