A man’s man, he got good at stuff - not just drinking and womanizing - but also developing physical skill that required strength and competence.
#ROLL WITH IT COUNTRY SONG FULL#
Hemingway’s code hero, we remember, accepted that the world was full of chaos and pain, yet he faced down such severe limits with courage and grace under pressure. Corbin’s debut reads like a Farewell to Arms for the truck-pull set and lays out a hero’s code for existentialist country boys everywhere. Less explored to this point, however, has been Easton Corbin’s correlation to Ernest Hemingway. It’s already been well-established, of course, that if we follow a model of parallel connections to classic novelists, that Taylor Swift is the new generation’s Jane Austen Brad Paisley is our Henry Miller Jason Aldean is the new Scott Fitzgerald etc. It’s one that stands at odds with much of the rest of pop-country radio, but one that carries a timeless appeal nonetheless in both message and sound, which helps explain the record’s considerable success. In taking stock of his preoccupations and farm-kid wisdoms is to reveal Easton Corbin as a manifesto of sorts from a 27-year-old Florida native who has this year articulated a particular worldview, and taken as a whole, it’s a statement that provides a renewal of the Hemingway code. Then again, it’s more fun to pin everything on one guy and consider Easton Corbin’s and not just Easton Corbin’s cohesive statement on the record. We can, in that case, more easily consider the work as a more abstract artistic entity rather than a product of a single voice, thereby doing away with any authorial fallacy. There is nothing extraordinary about the song, but that’s alright.įor the casual fans that are just looking for a steering wheel tapping song this summer, Roll With It will serve as the perfect 3-minute escape.Īnd for the fans that are looking for the next incarnation of George Strait, Corbin is definitely on the right track to putting out consistently enjoyable singles every 3 months.In today’s country music world of fantasy, nostalgia, and focus-grouping, it’s relatively easy to disregard the fact that Easton Corbin had a hand in writing only four of the 11 songs on his satisfying self-titled debut album. And for that reason I can see this song becoming another top five hit for Corbin. The song should fit perfectly for those types of situations throughout the summer of 2010. It’s a fun groovy song that makes you want to break out the grill, call your buddies and toss a few horseshoes around the backyard all afternoon.
Those are both wonderful artists to be compared to.Ĭorbin puts a nice little groove on most of his tracks on his debut album and Roll With It is no different. If you didn’t know who Easton Corbin was (and there probably are still a few country music fans that don’t), you may still mistake this vocalist for George Strait or even Joe Nichols or Daryl Worley. It’s a catchy little tune in the same groove and vibe as A Little More Country Than That. The second single release is Roll With It. Today, Corbin’s debut album has hit the charts and his record company is looking to repeat the success of the first single with what they hope will be two or three more singles that will get fans to go out and push the album to gold or even platinum – a major feat for a debut artist. Now, being compared to a legend is never a bad thing and I’m sure Corbin was fine with the comparison. When fans first began hearing A Little More Country Than That on the radio, it was thought to be the latest George Strait song. The song shot straight to #1 and took the country music newcomer to status as a legit country artist. Easton Corbin broke out with his first single release, A Little More Country Than That.
