From the very start of Get Out Of This Town, the eerie ambiance of guitar tones highlight and underline the urgency in Cartwright’s rugged vocals. The drumbeat drops hard in the chorus as Cartwright’s twang exclaims over the airwaves, “I gotta get out of this town!”, detailing a man’s yearning to escape the firmly planted roots he once had. Cartwright shows off his impressive vocal ability, proving that Get Out Of This Town is the defining blueprint for modern country music—sonically captivating, dynamically arranged, cleverly written, and catchy as all hell.
