It opens with the lead-off single, their chart-topping hit “Better Dig Two” and it is followed by the up-tempo “Done” (their current Top 20 single on country radio) and the mellifluous track “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely.”
The title cut is stellar and it showcases their superb storytelling ability and soaring harmonies. “Forever Mine Nevermind,” which was co-penned by Brad Paisley, is a high energy vocal and “Night Gone Wasted” is an equally impressive country-rock tune.
The highlight track on the entire album is “Mother Like Mine,” which is an ode to the narrator’s mother. Many fans can relate to this bittersweet vocal and it would make an ideal theme song for Mother’s Day.
“I’m a Keeper” is a fun and addicting melody, meanwhile “Back to Me Without You” is a poignant tune about overcoming a failing romance.
It closes with the slow-moving yet beautiful ballad “End of Time.”
The Verdict
