34 song American Heartbreak album released earlier this year and it's the leader in the clubhouse for album of the year in my opinion. 


Something In The Orange & Billy Stay are currently wrecking my world

    This is a very good album. I have been lucky enough to have been following him for most of his (short) career so far, and I admit I was nervous to hear this album. Obviously, the production value was upped a good bit from his prior releases, and once I saw 34 tracks, I wasn't sure what to think.

    But, it's quite good. It is a tad bloated (hard not to be at 30+), but if I had to trim it down, I'd probably still end up with a tracklisting in the high 20s. There really aren't that many throw aways. He writes excellent songs, that's for sure, and the album is really enjoyable. I haven't yet caught him live, but am really hoping to ASAP.

    Honestly both albums he released this year by far the best albums of the year in my book. I am not a country fan, but his music is more singer singer writer some lean country some more towards rock or southern rock. My son introduced me to him last year but his other releases were just him sitting around with an acoustic guitar on YouTube which is how,he was discovered. American Heartbreak is an amazingly well written 34 song official debut album. And honestly no real filler. I encourage everyone to give it a go it’s really a fantastic album.  Then To follow it up with a 9 song EP like a month later and have it be just as strong is insane.

    The entire album and subsequent ep are both stellar. Pretty much all I have been listening to this summer. And he has been dropping more tracks on YouTube the last couple weeks. He does not stop writing.

    Figured I would jump in and give this a bump. He has release another 4-5 songs over the course of the fall and is pretty far along with yet another album. Plus he will be releasing a live LP from his red rocks show in November. Best song writer i have heard in years. He has been on steady for me since may. Usually I tire of an artist and move on but keep going back to his music. Worth a listen. So many amazing songs.

    Yep! Been loving both songs on the “Greatest Day of My Life” single. Love “Fifth of May”. Looking forward to whatever he releases.

    Yes love them both. Just thinking his record company must hate him for just randomly dropping so many good songs instead of saving them for albums. 😂

    Announced his 2023 tour today. Looks like he's partnered with AXS to do something similar to what PJ did last year

    I wasn’t selected initially, but picked up seats day of the show (today, ha!) thanks to this system. 

    Stoked to see him in Duluth! He has two sold out nights here, think I will stick to just one. Can’t believe he is already in arenas though… 

    Going to be fun!

    I just saw him in Worcester, MA last Friday. Honestly one of the best shows I have been to. Sold out crowd screaming every single word of every song. Incredible atmosphere.  I also loved the stage setup, everyone had a good seat. More artists should do this. This guy is special.

    I was shocked last night at how loud the crowd was and how they knew every single word. One of the best shows for sure.

    Agreed on stage setup too, everyone could see easily and he did a good job moving around all 4 sides. Metallica was the only other band I have been to that does it, works nicely
