After one listen, I'd say the highs are really high and the lows aren't too terribly low. I'm excited to keep listening to it and see how it grows and changes for me. But I definitely like it upon first impression.

I liked how her old stuff embraced country cliches while smashing them at the same time.
Same Trailer Different Park and Pageant Material are considerably more inspired than another country artist going pop.
I haven't heard those yet. Perhaps I'll feel differently onceI dive in further. But I've never heard a Country-Disco song like High Horse before and I love it.
"Butterflies" and "Space Cowboy" are good as breezy, wistful pop songs with some interesting harmonic elements and some nice production touches, like the layered synth-on-banjo of the former
Yeah I just listened to "Dime Store Cowgirl" and I can safely say those two other songs from the new album are much richer and more interesting to me. I'm not big on "High Horse", though
@Joe another artist who recently mixed country and disco was Kylie Minogue, of all people, with the first single from her last album. I wonder if that's a thing now.
