Reviews In Brief
2020, so far, has had a pretty good crop of country (real not pop) releases. Canadian Corb Lund adds to that list with his album "Agricultural Tragic". One could easily confuse this album to bro-country until they hear and feel his earnestness about who he is; a guy who has a deep love for whiskey, simple living, horses and anyone else who loves horses. Lund straddles the fine line between bad hokiness and good hokiness but I think he lands on the good side due to his straightforward, with a smirk, delivery. You believe him because he means what he sings. It also doesn't hurt that he has a whip tight cowboy band backing him, that can also bring a little rocking honky-tonk. Put on your stetson, hop on your pony (if you have one) and ride the range with Corb.
