    A couple of back-to-back tracks midway through the project bear a sonic similarity to each other, but their topics are so different, you’ll want to keep listening.

    About half the album’s tracks bear a credit by Jaren Johnston, and others bear the fingerprints of first-call Nashville songwriters like Dallas Davidson, Ashley Gorley and Shane McAnally. Their best efforts home in on Mr. Owen’s capacity for open heartache.

    There's no mistaking Days of Gold for anything earthy, but this sonic thawing winds up emphasizing Owen's inherent sweetness in an appealing fashion.

    To paraphrase J-Kwon, everybody in this beach gettin' "Tipsy" (another song title here), so drink up.

    At a certain point, all the blue skies, blue jeans, babes, bros, and brews just start to sound like... blah blah blah. [20 Dec 2013, p.60]
