    This is an album--much like its predecessor--that's utterly pure of heart. The jovial uplift of those first few songs might, at first, come off as affectation, but as a metaphor for life—how the exuberance of youth and young love and ambition falters and fades into an existential black hole, giving way to work and bills and the inevitable death of everyone you know and love--it couldn't be more incisive. A welcome return.

    The main take away from The Straight Hits! is that Josh T. Pearson has a lot more facets to his music than he may have previously let on.

    The Straight Hits! might not have the visceral punch of The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads or the openness of Last of the County Gentlemen but it has more than its fair share of moments, even if Pearson admits breaking several of the five rules, but obeys an unwritten Sixth Pillar: musical rules are made to be broken.
