Country music today is an odd beast. You get acts like Taylor Swift who should be in the pop category alongside a rash of country heartthrobs like Luke Bryan, Dustin Lynch and Sam Hunt alongside tried and true country guys like Blake Shelton and Tim McGraw. In other words it is all very confusing. Leave it to a guy from Calgary, Alberta to show us what modern country truly is. A true trubador, each song on the album is a story that is a slice of life. That life is the crazy one lived by Craig Moreau. A life that has seen him work as a truck driver, stuntman, carpenter, postal worker and bartender. He also worked the rodeo circuit for ten years. The guy has been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces and done a lot of things. Now he has assembled all that experience into twelve songs. The songwriting on the album is what is going to make you sit up and take notice. Life lessons, experiences lived and all without sounding preachy. His voice isn’t shabby either and has a real “classic” country feel to it. All this adds up to a very listenable album.
