Country for people who swear they don't like country, from Zach Bryan to Chris Stapleton with some roots-rock mixed in. Warm, twangy and built for tailgates and backyard fires.
Choosin’ Country Lite is country for people who don’t always reach for country. It opens with Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” and leans on the modern side of the genre: Max McNown shows up more than anyone, with Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton adding some weight, and Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves trading verses on “I Remember Everything.”
The “lite” part is the point. Mixed in are roots-rock and Americana tracks like JD McPherson’s “A Little Respect,” Grace Potter’s “The Lion The Beast The Beat” and The Steeldrivers’ bluegrass heartbreaker “Where Rainbows Never Die,” plus a few left-field picks like Stick Figure and The Heavy that keep it from turning into a honky-tonk marathon. It’s 48 songs of tailgate-friendly storytelling, big choruses and dusty guitars. Put it on for a summer drive, a backyard fire or a lazy Sunday when you want something warm, a little twangy and easy to sing along to, even if you’d never call yourself a country fan.
