Jon Pardi - Heartache On The Dance Floor - 2017
Jon Pardi really hit the big time with his incredible 2016 album, California Sunrise. I think it's one of the best albums of this young century and this was one of the amazing singles off it. Pardi is one of our traditionalists whose music strongly resonates with those who are wanting to make sure country stays on a truer path. This song zings along with a fast pace, is incredibly catchy and totally memorable. Once it gets in your head it stays there and you can't help but sing with it. Of the Pardi library so far, this is my favorite. I have loved virtually all the singles from this album and subsequent ones as I feel Pardi has the right idea. He makes traditional country very cool even for those who lean more pop country at their core, and at the exact same moment reassures deep country fans that everything is alright and on track. There's something about Pardi in the sum of all that he is, musically, in style and image that you root for. If you love this song and haven't heard this entire album, you should. I applaud Jon Pardi. After a slower start than some others, he bravely stuck with it and in time hit it out of the park with this number one album and the singles from it - all top five. It has sold millions. Well done!
