The album opens with the strong, unexpected flair of Corrina. This track tells the story of our protagonist, who, despite being heartbroken, vows to always be there for Corrina as she searches for something more out of life. Grizzley skillfully navigates multiple influences within the genre, delivering a ballad with a fast-paced Mariachi-like melody and arrangement. The instrumentals will have you dancing with your partner, while the lyrics have you drowning your sorrows.

Take My Pride is another quintessential country and western song. With its slow, galloping drumbeat and iconic pedal steel, Grizzley channels heartworn troubadours from a bygone era. Reminiscent of an early Hank Williams tune, Take My Pride is Grizzley’s adaptation of the classic “woman done me wrong” song, masterfully accented by the sad choir harmonies in the hook.

Got Nothing to Prove picks up the pace with a rockin’ honky-tonk piano in the backdrop. Basically a blue-collar warning, Grizzley details the acceptance of his rowdy ways as he sells his soul for a paycheck. The message is clear: “I got nothing to prove.” It’s a work-hard, party-harder anthem. For whatever reason, this song brought upon intrussive thoughts of the perfect bar fight. I was left overcome with the urge to sling a patron through a plate glass window and waterboard him in a horse trough.
