\u201cIs the Blue Tangled In You\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\tBryan gets a little moody and swampy on a track that seeks to set a mood more than make any kind of literal sense. The title, which is repeated throughout, is seemingly a reference to Bob Dylan\u2019s classic \u201cTangled Up in Blue,\u201d but then throw in John Coltrane, whose last name Bryan tosses in several times and the phrase, \u201cRoll Um Easy,\u201d which is a Little Feat song title, and Bryan delivers a fairly inscrutable song that seems to be about a relationship with a woman who \u201cis who she is, but she ain\u2019t who she was before.\u201d Just go with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\n\u201cPlainsman\u201d (featuring Turnpike Troubadours)<\/h2>\n\n\n\tYou can take the man out of the country, but you can\u2019t take the country out of the man is the theme of this mid-tempo track featuring the Turnpike Troubadours and beautiful instrumentation including violin, cello, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. Bryan and the Troubadours\u2019 Evan Felker trade off lead vocals here, their voices easily complementing each other, on the simple tune about \u201cthe beauty of the barren land.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\n\u201cBackward\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\tThis is the closest Bryan gets to a happy love song as he reevaluates life and past bad times, ultimately landing on \u201cAll I want, are your beautiful legs around me\/On that Spanish beach where you found me for the rest of my earthly days.\u201d But that sentiment comes amid trying to come to peace with a troubled past and looking back on it with a new filter that allows for forgiveness and a different attitude.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\n\u201cRobot Killed the Working Man\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\tBryan looks at industrialization and comes down squarely on the side of deciding that technological advancement isn\u2019t always for the better. The title pretty much lays out the premise, but he goes further, singing \u201cTook the nail and hammer right out of his hands\/sealed up the coffin\/sold off the land.\u201d The track opens with a sample of wrestler Dusty Rhodes famous 1985 speech about hard times before Bryan takes over with his searing indictment of what passes for progress. \u201cThis place don\u2019t look like what it looked like when I was a kid\/Can\u2019t you see what a giant step for humanity did?\u201d\u00a0The focus is squarely on the lyrics here, which are bolstered by a steady, incessant mid-tempo thump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\n\u201cYou\u2019ll Get By\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\tIn this genial, sloping set closer, Bryan sends the listener off with a benediction of sorts, filled with advice delivered by an unspecified \u201cshe,\u201d who suggests that life will go just fine if you\u2019re kind \u201cwhen it ain\u2019t easy,\u201d as well as \u201ctake the telephone off the line awhile\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t let \u2018em tell ya Oklahoma ain\u2019t in the south.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tMusically, the song has the same easy vibe as The Rolling Stones\u2019 \u201cWild Horses\u201d and sends the listener off with a slight sense of melancholy but also sight ease that it just might all work out after all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\n\u201cLodi When\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\tThis track ups the number of rock songs with \u201cLodi\u201d in the title to two, following Creedence Clearwater Revival\u2019s \u201cLodi.\u201d (Fun fact: John Fogerty is playing a few dates with Bryan in 2027, so maybe they can do a medley of the CCR hit and this track.) It serves as an engaging set opener, mainly because of the group vocals that surround Bryan\u2019s plaintive vocals, the catchy melody and the intriguing swirling synth opener. <\/p>\n
\n\tLyrically, the song questions if you could go back in time, would you make the same choices? \u201cIf you could go back to the places you once been\/would you run back to her arms or back to Lodi when,\u201d he asks, as the clock ticks down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\n\u201cLies\u201d (featuring Lana Del Rey)<\/h2>\n\n\n\tBryan has a history of being a supple duet partner, especially with woman artists, such as with Kacey Musgraves on \u201cI Remember Everything.\u201d This mid-tempo effort with Del Rey is gorgeous, bolstered by swelling violins and cellos. Like Musgraves, Del Rey is a naturally laid-back, placid singer and neither she nor a vulnerable-sounding Bryan try to oversell the song, instead letting the emotional devastation about a crumbling relationship simply play out as their voices wrap around each other. It doesn\u2019t pack quite the punch as \u201cI Remember Everything,\u201d but it\u2019s beautiful in its own way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\n\tBryan looks at industrialization and comes down squarely on the side of deciding that technological advancement isn\u2019t always for the better.

\u201cYou\u2019ll Get By\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\tIn this genial, sloping set closer, Bryan sends the listener off with a benediction of sorts, filled with advice delivered by an unspecified \u201cshe,\u201d who suggests that life will go just fine if you\u2019re kind \u201cwhen it ain\u2019t easy,\u201d as well as \u201ctake the telephone off the line awhile\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t let \u2018em tell ya Oklahoma ain\u2019t in the south.\u201d <\/p>\n
