Never Gets Old

For 20 years, Joe Nichols has made a career out of writing sweet and simple country songs that tug at your heartstrings. And he’s right, they just don’t get old. That’s because Nichols never runs out of poignant ways to serenade his lady—on this album, he compares her to a perfect melody, a summer night, and heaven on Earth—in a way that makes him sound like a humble, helpless romantic. Case in point: “If I was a Beatle, I’d sing about yesterday/If I was James Taylor I’d sing about fire and rain/If I was Elvis, I’d sing about by my shoes/But since I’m just me, I’ll sing about you.”
