Colt.46 - Hang-Fire (2015)

“Well, something will happen.”
That’s the kind of go-for-broke attitude that gets you places you’ve never been, or in extreme cases, dead.
Kinda like the old, “Hey y’all, watch this!”
Colt .46 is still alive, so they must be somewhere they’ve never been. Years of full-body immersion in music of all kinds - listening to it, playing it, talking about it, watching others make it – have bubbled to the surface of the collective identity that is Colt .46. What you hear in this album is the output of a distillery, where the ingredients are a mash of old and new, icons and hacks, sincerity and attitude. It has a little kick to it, but you’ll find it has a smooth side too.

So set aside your expectations of modern Nashville pop, but remember that good things used to happen there. Cast your eyes westward to the alternatives available to the country music enthusiast, place your favorite adult libation at hand, turn this up and let’s see what happens.
