Daily Digital Download: Canaan Smith ‘Stuck’ [VIDEO]

A straight-forward country-rocker called “American Muscle” and the vulnerable “Bronco” help close this fine debut effort. Smith lets loose, mixes and mostly contains his influences, steering them toward a definable sound that’s very personal and very believable. Like most great albums, there isn’t “something for everyone” on this album. But if you hope for something just edgier than “Love You Like That,” you’ll find a collection of songs to get you through summer.

Key Tracks: “One of Those,” “Love at First,” “American Muscle,” “Bronco”
