The Jury Is Still Out On Sam Hunt

... Swift as one around the time she released her third record, Speak Now. Yeah, there are elements of country in there to be certain, but there are plenty of other genres at play too. With regard to Hunt, his sample size isn’t nearly as expansive or celebrated as is Swift, widely regarded as not only one of world’s biggest pop stars, but also its most famous people. Whereas Swift has released numerous platinum-sellers, Hunt has released only one – 2014’s Montevallo. Of course, the man knows how to make an impact; six of the album's ten tracks eventually became hit singles, and a seventh, "Cop Car," was previously a hit for Aussie crooner Keith Urban (Hunt wrote the single). But unlike the aforementioned Bryan, the unquestioned king of the country bros, Hunt’s brand of country is fairly diverse. While Bryan has made a living alternating between uptempo party tracks and catchy-as-all-hell love ballads, Hunt’s debut features traces of hip-hop, EDM and R&B.

See more videos. “The last few years, we found a niche that was very popular, but nobody wants to do the same sort of show every year,” Hurwitz said. “We wanted to try something different.”. Hunt, whose hybrid approach to country has earned him comparisons to the hip-hop artist Drake, was a strong fit for Infield Fest because of his mass appeal, Hurwitz said. “A lot of the audience that goes to Preakness are country fans, but he’s not your typical country act,” he said. The Infield Fest will have local ties beyond Good Charlotte. Lo Cash, the Nashville group known for singles “I Love This Life” and “I Know Somebody,” features Towson native Chris Lucas. Look through photos of Preakness Day  festivities and the infield party scene. See more Sun Preakness galleries at Preakness __link__.
