Content

Johnson was inspired to write songs about the rodeo after the commercial success of "Dear Rodeo", a duet with Reba McEntire. He sought songwriters that, according to Billboard, were "familiar with the song structures and styles of songwriting popular with ‘90s country music."[3] In advance of the album's release, "'Til You Can't" was selected as the lead single and was released to country radio in October 2021.[4]

Critical reception

Rating it 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for AllMusic that "Johnson's emotional facility helps enliven a record that sticks to straight-ahead red dirt country, an album that doesn't deviate from familiar country tropes yet stays fresh thanks to Johnson's unfussy, unhurried execution."[5]
