SOUTHSIDE
Sam Hunt
The years since the Georgia-born singer’s
2014 debut album Montevallo have hardly
been barren for fans, not least given his
release in 2017 of the massive hit “Body Like
a Back Road”. That infectious country-pop
number features on SOUTHSIDE, which also
showcases his adept grasp of the rhythms of
hip-hop and R&B.FIVE FACTS:
- Sam Lowry Hunt was born in Cedartown,
Georgia, on December 8, 1984. - He played football in his high school and
college years, and once attempted to pursue
a professional sports career before his 2014
signing with MCA Nashville. - Prior to his solo career, he was credited
with writing singles for Kenny Chesney, Keith
Urban, Reba McEntire and Billy Currington. - Hunt has cited Brad Paisley, Ginuwine and
Alice Cooper among his musical influences. - He has said of the new album: “I think if
you asked somebody that really knows me
well which record they heard more of me on, I
would bet that those people would say, ‘I could
hear you, the person that I know, in those
songs, even more so than the first record.’”
