Track By Track Review
1. Get To Me – Hillary Scott strikes a seductive sound on this light and easy number that flows very sweetly.
2. Goodbye Town – Quite possibly, the best vocal that Charles Kelley has put down yet. The lyrics strike a nostalgic tone – at least at first – but the chorus tends to suggest that the past is not somewhere he wants to be. The harmony notes in the chorus and at the end of the track suggest 80s rock. A definite single.

General Review – 3 out of 5 stars
The megaplatinum country trio, seemingly conceived for people who hate country music, return with their fourth album (not counting last year’s Christmas disc). Predictably, they don’t mess radically with the harmonious pop-rock formula: most of these songs sound as if they’re headed straight for the Billboard chart. And yet this album seems to go down a lot easier than their previous release, Own the Night.The songs seem less calculated and overcooked and the production — once again by Lady A and Paul Worley — is comparatively spare.
The group’s more subdued strategy is immediately apparent in the eloquent George Harrison-esque solo on the opener Get To Me (Have Tom Petty’s lawyers played this one beside Learning To Fly, we wonder?).
