Country music is already filled with great singers and
songwriters, but here is an extremely talented artist that I believe will make
a huge strides for the year of 2014. Sam Hunt is a former quarter back at the
University of Alabama at Birmingham and is now making his mark in Music City in
the form of writing hit songs that have been recorded by some of country
music’s biggest names and now making waves as a performer himself.
When first hearing him and his sound, you wouldn’t think of
it as country music. But country mega stars such as Keith Urban (Cop Car) and
Kenny Chesney (Come Over) have each recorded a song by Sam Hunt, as well as
Billy Currington (We Are Tonight). The dude is extremely talented and has a killer, unique sound that appeals to more than just the country music market. He
reminds me a little of a Jason Mraz and Andy Grammer, with smooth vocals but
also the ability to speed it up lyrically in the form of a rap (check out his
song “Saturday Night”), which is why I think he has the ability to do something special as a new artist.
You can find his single “Raised on It” on iTunes, he also
has a FREE Acoustic Mixtape "Between The Pines" that you can download off of his website http://www.samhunt.com I highly encourage you
to download and listen. Apart from his hit songs such as “Cop Car”, “Come Over”
and “We Are Tonight”, I think his next hit song is “Leave The Night On” which
is extremely catchy and has a great story behind it. Sam has a large variety of
songs that I think will definitely get listeners excited about. He is currently
on tour and playing venues around the country with fellow artists Little Big
Town, Chase Rice, David Nail and Casadee Pope. He may be a small name now, but
I believe that this year of 2014 will be huge for him and expect him to be a
household name in the near future.
