Country innovator samples Webb Pierce, flexes his melodic muscles on latest release
), is an undeniably great party jam featuring one of the most straightforwardly country vocals he’s ever laid down.“There Stands the Glass,”
a classic of the drinking-away-the-pain variety that hasn’t been widely heard on radio in ages — unless, say, you’re regularly tuned into a satellite radio channel that goes a level deeper than Hank Williams and Ray Price. This isn’t “I Walk the Line” or “He Stopped Loving Her Today”; Hunt had to do a little homework to find and appreciate “There Stands the Glass.
Eschewing his Drake-ian preference for brooding sing-talk , Hunt actually slides into a slow-rolling melody from some lost Nineties country hit and makes it sound like the most natural thing in the world. In a tight series of hooks, he addresses someone who’s walked out but can’t seem to stop leaving reminders everywhere he goes: work, church, the mall, even in the clouds.
It’s breezy and brokenhearted, old-school and futuristic all at once. “Hard to Forget” makes a fine showcase for Hunt as a soulful country stylist, for one, but it also allows him to reclaim country tradition for risk-takers and rule-breakers like himself.
