Hunt drops new song
Monday, January 2, 2017 – Sam Hunt dropped a new song, "Drink Too Much," on Sunday.
Hunt posted on his Twitter feed "Redemption. New music - Drinkin' Too Much" with a link to the new song. The track combines spoken vocals with a bit of a slow, somewhat jazzy, somewhat hip hop beat. The song describes his success, while a female fails to do the same.
The song is his first in two years with Hunt having hits off his debut, "Montevallo," including "Breakup In A Small Town" and "Make You Miss Me."

Concert Review: Rising Appalachia buck the mainsteam, and that's fine with them –
Rising Appalachia would not be accused of being in the musical mainstream. Not too many bands who combine folk and Appalachian sounds with new world music could possibly be.
