Sometimes it's tough to get songs to cut through and really get noticed. But I hope this one does. The wonderful Hannah Ellis has recorded a real nice song that deserves to be heard, Country Can. It's a slick tribute to country in general, but stops short of being a straight up "list song." But at it's core, it's country and that always scores points with me. One thing I've noticed, is that the "Carly Pearce Effect" seems to be spreading and that's nice to see. Pearce has repeatedly and openly expressed she wants to be "country," and she is, and it's working for her on the charts with critical acclaim, and being honored by various award academies. Fans will always respond well when they feel they are being dealt with honestly, you can't fool them anymore. This Ellis song is easy to listen to, and makes you glad that you like the music that you do. Ellis is certainly likable, and so is this country song. Her more than friendly voice is the star of this song, along with the slick writing. Hoping this song gets a foothold and finds a home high on the charts.
Grab a coffee, and catch, Country Can - Hannah Ellis!
