“Center Point Road” is the fourth album from American country star, Thomas Rhett. Since 2013, Rhett has released 4 studio albums which have produced 19 singles, and out of those 19 singles, 14 of them have reached Number 1 on the Hot Country music charts. This shows only a fraction that Thomas Rhett has had on the country music scene. Having grown up around country music success, as his Dad is Rhett Akins, it’s no surprise the talent that the singer songwriter has. “Center Point Road” was released in 2019 and features many collaborations with fellow country stars such as Kelsea Ballerini, Jon Pardi and Little Big Town. The album debuted at Number 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart. 

“That Old Truck” is the 6^th track on the album and is song dedicated to Rhett’s childhood where he had many of his most important memories in his “old truck.” If you’re not from southern USA, there is a stereotype that we tend to think of when we think of guys from the southern states and that does include them driving big pick-up trucks and Rhett seems to confirm this stereotype in the song. Even if you’re not from the south, this song manages to make you feel the same nostalgia and Rhett about the similar childhood memories that we all have. The moving lyrics about how this truck made Thomas Rhett the man he is today makes this song heartfelt mixed with his southern drawl and the classic country guitar playing makes it perfect to sing in your own version of your “old truck.”

“Look What God Gave Her” and “Almost” are the other songs in my top three from this album. “Look What God Gave Her” is the lead single from the album and there is no doubt as to why. The upbeat song is impossible to not want to get up and dance to and the fact that Rhett is singing about how much he is in love with his wife makes the tune even happier and loveable. “Almost” is another song in which Rhett recalls growing up and the memories he has and how he is glad that all the things that almost happened led to the things that did because he wouldn’t change thing. Another song in which Thomas Rhett manages to make his own stories completely relatable to almost everyone.
