Editor's note

Sam Hunt's country songs with R&B rhythms

A Nashville songwriter who mixes conversational lyrics with pop-leaning beats.

For how he frames things, try 'Come Over' or 'Make You Miss Me.' They're good examples of that talk-sing delivery over a beat that isn't straight country.

When 'Montevallo' came out in 2014, songs like 'Leave The Night On' and 'Make You Miss Me' didn't sound like typical country radio. He brought R&B and pop rhythms into country storytelling, with tracks like 'Come Over' and '23' using beats that felt more urban than twangy. That blend gave his music a different texture at a time when Nashville was pretty set in its ways.

He grew up in Cedartown, Georgia, moved to Nashville after college, and wrote songs before releasing 'Montevallo' in 2014. The follow-up 'Southside' arrived in 2017 with tracks like 'Downtown's Dead' and 'Saturday Night.' He records and performs as a solo act with session players, not as a band.

Archive material and source history

Sam Hunt grew up in Cedartown, Georgia, where his father's taste for country music shaped his early listening. After college at Samford University, he moved to Nashville to try writing songs. His first album, 'Montevallo,' came out in 2014 and included tracks like 'Leave The Night On' and 'Make You Miss Me.'

That debut record introduced a sound that mixed country storytelling with some R&B and pop rhythms, which felt different from what was typical on country radio at the time. Songs such as 'Come Over' and '23' helped define his approach, conversational lyrics set against beats that leaned more urban than twangy.

He followed up with 'Southside' in 2017, which had 'Downtown's Dead' and 'Saturday Night' on it. Hunt has worked with other Nashville artists, but he records and performs primarily as a solo act with a backing band of session players.
