I love this one, particularly the the musical hook. I’ve never really connected it with the B&D song, but I definitely prefer this one over the two. I’ve always found Red Dirt Road boring though.

Growing up in Georgia not far from the Chattahoochee River, this song was a huge deal in my childhood. I’ll never forget the first time I really heard it; it was part of the laser show at Stone Mountain. Been one of my favorite songs ever since.

For me this is one of those songs that I want to like, but have a hard time getting into. I guess the instrumental hook doesn’t quite cut it for me, but for the most part, I generally agree with all of Kevin’s points in the review.

I wanna loathe this song, but I just can’t…I wouldn’t even call myself an AJ fan, either.

Do you really believe that when B&D wrote “Red Dirt Road” they were ripping off “Chattahoochee”? I find that hard to believe. Is the theme in the latter so unique?

I think “Red Dirt” is the better song. Loved the line from Red Dirt:
“Learned that happiness on earth,
Ain’t just for high achievers”
