Startin’ With Me

A grounded debut of mid-tempo country rock. Before the beach-pop fame, this was a record of barroom grit, southern pride, and surprisingly heavy self-reflection.

July 25, 2006 · RCA

A grounded blend of southern pride and quiet, late-night self-reckoning.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, reflective pause before the chorus of the title track where the weight of regret lands.
The sudden shift from acoustic strumming to a driving electric riff on Eight Second Ride.
The storytelling gravitas in Ghosts where the vocals drop to a gravelly, intimate whisper.
