Every song is different in its own way but they all have the same feel when listening. My favorite song in the album which actually led me to learn more about the album and artist was the song “Feathered Indians”.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album and I would rate it a 7.5/10. Country music isn’t a genre I usually listen to, but it didn’t feel like average country music and it feels like it has more emotion and feeling. I would say I would recommend to people who listen to country music, but considering I don’t, I think this album would be a very enjoyable listening experience for many people of all ages.
