Debut Album - Cole Swindell

He has solidified himself as one of the best songwriters in country music, now the Warner Music Nashville recording artist has entered a new market with the release of his self titled debut album. Swindell set the bar high for his debut album due to all of the hits that he has had a hand in writing, but have been recorded by other artists. This record is pretty much what I expected coming from Swindell, on top of the #1 hit with “Chillin’ It”, there is a great variety of songs ranging from anthems like “Hey Ya’ll” to the slower songs such as “Swayin” and “Dozen Roses & A Six Pack”.

What this album did was portray Swindell’s ability to write catchy songs with a great story behind them. I have this album doing big things this year, and it would be hard for Cole Swindell to not blow up on the country music scene with him opening for mega star Luke Bryan on his That’s My KindaNight Tour. What I’m looking for out of Cole Swindell as he continues on in his career would be to solidify an “identity” and continue to challenge himself as a songwriter and performer. Overall, I’m impressed with this album and if you haven’t checked it out, it’s definitely worth a listen! Buy here on iTunes.

5. Hey Ya'll
