Smith is an affable narrator with a strong voice and a good-natured hedonistic streak, and his songs tend to walk the line between folk, Southern rock, and Zac Brown Band-style country-pop. While the Gettin' Is Good works best when Smith finds the sweet spot between all three predilections, which he does on the sunny, vaudeville-laced opener \"Don't Mind,\" the cinematic, roadtrip-ready \"Dahlonega,\" and the galloping, hook-laden single \"Ain't Going Out Tonight,\" the latter of which serves as the magnanimous flipside to the aptly sodden \"Drinkin' on My Mind.\" The album gets a tad bogged down in midtempo place holders like \"Flip Flop\" and \"Feet Wet,\" but Smith manages to treat the 12-track set's weaker moments with the same big-hearted enthusiasm that he brings to its more immediate offerings. ~ James Christopher Monger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055607660831,"sku":"015891410920","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/a713a75acb1497c22534c14dc377299c_95778c28-11f1-4beb-871b-e43e88f353fe.jpg?v=1777779844","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/while-the-gettin-is-good","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
