American Spirit - Commentary

[00:00.07] This is Big Machine Radio and we are playing all the songs
[00:03.11] Off Thomas Rhett's new album "Tangled Up Deluxe"
[00:06.08] There are the 13 original tracks and then five bonus tracks
[00:09.65] And we're into the bonus tracks right now
[00:11.71] This next song it's kinda simple, but it says a lot
[00:14.83] And I know that you are looking forward to playing this one live
[00:17.21] Tell me about "American Spirit"
[00:19.37] "American Spirit" is one of those songs that, uhm
[00:21.49] I just think fully captures just the American lifestyle
[00:24.29] Whether that's going to a football game
[00:25.89] Or whether it's just riding around the farm
[00:27.52] Or whether it's just hanging out with friends
[00:28.73] Or sitting around a bonfire playing guitar
[00:30.38] It's just very-, it's a life song
[00:31.65] Uhm, it's one of those ones I'm glad to have on the record
[00:34.04] 'Cause I think it definitely kind of completes "Tangled Up" as a whole
[00:37.10] Uhm, there's songs on there like "Learned It From The Radio" and "Like It's The Last Time"
[00:39.59] That have the same sentiment, but
[00:41.12] I love that this song is very, very dedicated towards just American culture and very nostalgic culture
[00:46.88] And I love playing this song it's one of the favourite songs to just sit down on the guitar
[00:50.75] And play it acoustic
[00:51.92] And I think it's going to make for a very, very different moment in my shows
[00:54.71] Not only this year, but next year
[00:55.02]
