When breaking off a relationship, there’s a stark difference between letting someone down easy and with respect — and raking one’s heart over the coals. In this song, Wilson sings of the sting of experiencing the latter, musing that her ex’s method of ripping apart the relationship is an extraordinarily low blow.
She has grown into a leading country star and has the awards to prove it.took home ACM and CMA awards for album of the year, as well as the Grammy for best country album. She swept entertainer of the year, winning at both the CMAs and ACMs, making her the first woman to win the CMA honor since Taylor Swift in 2011. In June, she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.
The confidence from receiving such support on peer-voted awards really shows on her new album. To listen to , out now, is to hear an artist who has come into herself. The album is bold and fun, with Wilson clearly feeling her own strength, delivering songs that are sassy, clever, occasionally emotional and thoroughly country, which is no small feat at a time when the genre is blurring lines with pop and rock.
She pokes fun at those who have jumped on the country bandwagon on “Country’s Cool Again” and looks to settle down on “Counting Chickens,” but quickly banishes a bad boy with no regrets on the spoken-word, fiery “Ring Finger.” She stretches out musically with electrifying guitar pyrotechnics and pushes the boundaries with “Bar in Baton Rouge,” which extends past the five-minute mark.
Her slinky, foreboding spoken-word lyricism sparks with a crash of rock guitars on this track, which further elevates her status as a fierce, singular artist and one who’s an encourager and champion for her fellow woman. In this track, she weaves a tale of a woman headed to exchange vows with her lover, until she realizes he hasn’t been faithful. Instead of wallowing in pain, she dumps the guy and keeps the ring.
