Easton Corbin 'Let's Do Country Right' Album Review

Easton Corbin is officially back with brand-new music. The singer-songwriter has released his album Let's Do Country Right, as it's his first album in eight years. After listening to every song, this record was truly worth the wait.

As any true country record would, this album begins with tribute "Hey Merle." Corbin's ode to the late singer evokes the kind of sound that feels nostalgic. The song also mentions Hank Williams as Corbin sings about how the past icons would see the world now. "The Cadillac's and cowboy hat / And the high that you were on / Still covers us with neon dust / Cause a legend's never gone."

"Honky Tonk Land" is a great choice when wanting things to turn into a party. He exclaims, "Where the neon's buzzing, pretty girls by the dozen / Got a cold, cold, beer in my hand / Somewhere in honky tonk land."The title track, "Let's Do Country Right," carries a similar energy. Corbin is speaking to all of his fellow countrymen when seeking to be as genuine as possible in a fast-paced world.

This record also shows Corbin's more vulnerable side. "Whiskey Don't Take Me Back" has a slower tempo that enhances the message of longing for someone who is no longer there."Whiskey don't take me back / To the taste of that first kiss / Or any of those stars we woke up under." "Where Do You Go" is also about trying to navigate a broken heart. Corbin sings from the perspective of wondering why he can't seem to get over someone with openness in his lyricism.

The project ends with the song "In It." This track sees some of the more reflective lyrics of the entire album, as well as some of Corbin's most pure vocals. The tune has the themes of hope and love, which culminates nicely for the ending of the album. Corbin has delivered a body of work that tells stories as only country music can do.
