Pardi revisits "California Sunrise"
The expanded re-issue and limited-edition vinyl release features three new tracks from the vault. Alongside the album's original 12 songs, the celebratory edition includes the singalong "Drinkin' and Dancin'," country rocker "If I Had Another Heart" and "How Did You Know."
"Ten years ago, I made a record that would unknowingly change my life," said Pardi. "Since then, it's been one hell of a ride. My family has grown. I've seen the world, and I'm out here living my dream. It's pretty damn cool to see how much people continue to embrace this project even all these years later. Thankful for the last 10 and looking forward to the next."
The release spawned five Platinum-or-better singles, including the 7x-Platinum "Head Over Boots" and 6x-Platinum "Dirt On My Boots."

These elements reveal how this track is a true country version. It's also executed well, which makes this old holiday warhorse of a song somehow sound fresh and new. It's one of 12 winners and proves once again what a gift Pardi is to us all.
The content is consistently secular, ...
Jon Pardi's "Mr. Saturday Night" sounds as though most of its stories take place on the weekend at an idealized country honky tonk. Many of these drinking holes also feature swinging doors and jukeboxes. They don't seem like citified bars, but they perfectly fit Pardi's enjoyable neo-traditional song cycle.
Although the drums pound much harder on the single "Last Night Lonely" than they do on truly traditional country music, Pardi incorporates far more fiddle ...
Jon Pardi may sing about heartache medication with this collection of songs, but his focus on arrangements filled with traditional musical elements (fiddle, steel guitar and twangy electric guitar) is joyfully medicinal for anyone sickened by so much mainstream country music that lacks many (if not all) of these essential country instruments.
