Hard 2 Love

Editors' Notes The charm in Lee Brice's sophomore effort lies in his ability to balance the bad-boy magnetism of Nashville rogues like Toby Keith with his sensitive delivery of delicately constructed ballads. But just as Brice starts to get a bit rowdy with tunes like “Parking Lot Party” and “Beer,” his affecting performances on “See About a Girl” and “I Drive Your Truck” give the record its heart.
