Pongthep Gradoanchumnaan is a Thai country superstar whose songs—with lyrics about farming life and drunken jaunts—brim with joyful energy. His solo work has an inclination for traditional Thai beats—a hangover from his days as a percussionist with the band Carabao in the '80s—which he blends alongside slide guitars, stomping basslines and shimmering brass. With decades of hit songwriting under his belt, this selection showcases the influence of '70s American folk and country on Gradoanchumnaan's music, and the sing-along choruses which have ensured he remains a household name in Thailand.
